[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6215415, member: 6668292"] Was there something in my explanation in post 55 (the same page you posted this reply to) that left something unclear? Again, do you feel like I'm being sexist, as I specifically avoided using "she" in the general sense when writing my RPG? I know you can't make a judgment call on my specific relationships, but I can say with complete certainty that the women in my life don't believe I'm sexist, and that I'm close to quite a few (none of which are family). I can get a poll going in real life, too, if you want me to, but I feel pretty confident. Am I trying to exclude women? No. And, as I said, if a publisher feels like alternating "he" and "she" will bring more people in, go for it. But is sticking to just "he" sexist? That's what I'm trying to figure out if you're saying. You've qualified it a couple of times ("isn't by itself overtly or intentionally sexist" and "it isn't by intent"), but it still seems like you're implying it is, in fact, sexist. That's why I'm asking if you think it is (again), so I know more before I continue. Oh, no worries, then. There are definitely people who probably do want D&D to "be a boy's club" and who are sexist. But it looks like we're good; sorry if I didn't show enough humor (I noticed the "y'all"). Internet can be hard on me sometimes :) I can't XP, but this also makes a lot of sense to me. [/QUOTE]
