[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8529331, member: 4348"] 2. I've seen it. It sounds as if the person the OP posts has PTSD from some jerks at the game table that were not reigned in by the DM. I have NOT seen it often, and if I've seen it at my tables I reign it in, but on occasion there has been THAT player that decides it is their job to tell everyone what to do and how to do it. I've not experienced it often at my tables that I've recruited players normally, but I HAVE seen it at other tables where I've joined a game. This individual will tend to try to tell others how they should create or advance their characters. They will dictate at the table how the party should do things and go. In many cases they tend to be rather disruptive. If you combine this with the very occasional individual that feels that they need to tell a woman at the table what to do (Whether or not the woman needs it or not, in fact she may know exactly what she's doing, but it won't matter to that type of individual) and you probably have a perfect scenario to make a woman feel just like the one in the OP is feeling. In that instance, though it's still not a great thing to hear, I can understand WHY a woman would be like this and say things like this. Heck, there are some guys that feel like this because of these experiences without the overly leering personality of someone hitting on them at the same time. Without a DM to stop the scenario above, I can absolutely understand how someone may come to the attitude expressed in the OP and declare it in the way they did. [/QUOTE]
