Dan writes: I believe your predilection for Ms. Pac-man over Pac-man is rooted not in its aesthetic offerings, but in a deeply-entrenched feminist mindset that is found in bourgeois strata. It is my contention that, if you really had your way, you would spearhead a campaign to rename Ms. Pac-man “Ms. Pac-myn”. I’m sure you believe that the heavy use of symbols such as fruit in Ms. Pac-man only perpetuates the anti-feminist (i.e., Neanderthal) stereotype that the “fairer sex” prefers girly-things like fruit, while Mr. Pac-man fights off scarier monsters. It’s a game, for God’s sake. Just let it go.

Mmm....fruit....
