I have run game clubs in the high schools where I have taught since c. 1980. In the eighties club, there was only one girl during the three years the club lasted. But this girl did play in my outside of school game along with her father, sister, and my wife. In the 1992-2005 clubs there have been many passing through, including two mainstays the past three years, now serving as co-presidents. These two, excellent gamers BTW, tell me that their female friends try to disuade them from staying in the club over the years, and haved refused my invitations to 'give it a try' in a girls only setting.  So, here the prejudice is female, not male. With the advent of the many 'Living' campaigns I have met many solo female gamers, as well as girlfriends, wives and other semi-attachments. Never seen any kind of problem. Our current Friday night game; some Living, some homebrew; has a regular female member with the ocassional guest woman. If you cannot find acceptance with the Men's clubs, perhaps you have some like minded and like interested female friends who could make a group of our own. It has also been my experience that if you run a good game people will want to join it. Just my two sense,JJ</blockquote>
