[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6204617, member: 9037"] It is not fair to generalize about either sex. And there are stupid woman behaving like jerks the same as there are men who do the same thing. Harassment and sexism is not either of the above. Take the harassment many female cosplays and other woman get at cons. It is not flirting, it is not deserved because they are dressed in attention gathering costumes. Walking up to a complete stranger and telling her she has great boobs and would like to come to my room and sit on my face is not flirting it is crude and off putting. Then following the woman around to the point that she starts to worry for her safety is called stalking. Some cons have started throwing out guys who behave this way and if the story of the female cosplayer biting someone on the neck and drawing blood is true then she should be thrown out of the con as well. Woman are not delicate snowflakes but we do worry more than men do about being sexually assaulted. Yes men can and do get raped but woman are the victims far more especially if you take out the rape statistics of prison. I know I was taught a different kind of safety than my brothers. Talking to other woman most were raised the same way. Most rape cases in the news are woman. Colleges warn young woman about the dangers of drinking around men you don't know well. We are taught to watch our drinks at clubs to avoid being roofied. People suffering from PTSD have triggers and there is no way to completely protect yourself from them. That being said if violence is a trigger playing RPGs might not be the best hobby. It is pretty apparent that almost all have some form of combat mechanic. But rape is not something I assume is going to be in a game. I do think that putting rape scenarios in published material is a mistake. A rape survivor walking in to play at a con or at a store may be completely blind sided to face a rape scenario. What goes on at home games where people know each other is a totally different matter.
