[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5947648, member: 9037"] In the thirty years of gaming I ave never heard any woman say to me no I am not interested because of the violence. I have had many say no because of the creepy guys. Back in the old school days it was a lot worse I can't tell you how many times I had to deal with really outrageous stuff at the table. I had one DM who got a kick out of wanting to role play the rape of female PCs. He justified this by well rape was a common thing back in the dark ages. I had one situation in game where the my fellow good PCs including a paladin role played out the rape of a barmaid. They and the DM were shocked when I and the other female gamer declared we were attacking the male PCs and then after we had killed them packed up and left. She quit gaming that day. Just recently I played at a store and young teen age girl joined us she was new to the game. She was a little over weight kind of shy wore glasses. She was playing a sorceresses. She tried her charms on the King using her high charisma and looks to influence him. One of the guy s actually said to her come on do you really think you have a clue on how to play a hot chick. I respond hey tubby do you think you have a clue on how to play a fit warrior. The girl shut down. I gave her my email and told her that all gamers are not such jerks but I never heard from her. There are a lot of great guys in gaming but there are also a lot of misogynist jerks who hate the fact that girls want to play too. And to ask is art really an issue go to any forum where there are female gamers and you will see that it is. Astrid's on WOTC had tons of posts by female gamers on this very subject with lots of men coming on complaining that how dare we want to take their cheesecake away form them. We don't want to take all cheesecake away. That is not what any of us are saying and no matter how many times we say it, it does not sink in. I know this because I have been saying it every time this subject comes up. [/QUOTE]
