[QUOTE="SpottyJungleCat, post: 1615560, member: 1571"] I'd like to put in the point of veiw of the opposite side of the fence. For as long as i can remember we have had girl and boy gamers in and out of our games on a regular basis. Though most are fantastic to game with I should point out the exceptions to explain the while we are the majority the sexism coming from the female gamer side is alive and well. One girl I know was abusive to a player (male) who opted to play a female character, she (this is even before starting the campaign) berated him as not being capable of understanding the female mindset and when I allowed it she called him severally derogative (owing to his sexuality and gender) names and boy did i cop some abuse for letting the so called "abberation" happen. there was no complaints from the other gamer grrl in the group and the boys. Another incident occured while i was playing, a friend invited his girlfriend along to the group and she proceeded to play. No problems there and all was fine for a few weeks of once a week gaming. The 'girlfriend' was doing some cool chractrer gaming and getting quite involved. Then it started that she would flirt with the (IMHO - Weak Minded) DM and start things going her own way. This caused problems not only for us, but the player whose girlfriend she was supposed to be was becoming noticably jealous. We had a grrl to grrl chat about the whole situation and after she ran off with the DM. My friend was crushed and we lost a good DM. [/QUOTE]
