I think that you are actually experiencing the "one of the guys" scenario. However I would only say that would amount to about 75% of what you have mentioned in your posts. The rest is just the rest of your group being jerks. And probably being immature. Now as a male gamer of 33 years of age and having played the game for over 18 years, I have played on various occasions with Girls and had very good communication at the gaming table both in and out of character. The last girl we had in our group was a few years ago and she was an excellent role player, got into character with voices and everything, and was treated with respect and we all got along fine. She played a valuable role in the party (the party Wizard-Enchantress called Madam Butterfly..very girly name indeed) and was never talked down too or otherwised ridiculed in any other way. However when it came to the usual guy talk and social banter in between encounters and general merriment at other group members expense, she joined in and gave as good as she got, and would somtimes even start it. So sometimes it is more like a pressure valve letting off steam when guys start deriding each other and generally being unpleasent. Is it socially acceptable at the gaming table...well no it probably isn't but that does not mean to say that it won't happen anyway and that people may get offended but most of the time it is all in good fun and can be handled accordingly, with a massive pinch of salt. Hope your gaming experiences improve and don't be afraid to voice your opinions to the group and if they can't accept that or give you a hard time then leave the group and find some more mature players. They do exist out there....Cheers and keep on gamin'<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
