[QUOTE="Trainz, post: 1073155, member: 2122"] It is quite simple really. You play with jerks, or you don't. Over-analysis can only confuse the issue, and eventually escalate the not-so-tame discussion (I can feel the pression mounting, can you ? It's getting hot in here !) into a trans-gender flame fest. There are guys and girls that are Jerks. I serve them every day, I work with them every day, they're everywhere. I wouldn't waste a D&D game on them. It has NOTHING to do with the difference in sexes. There are, indeed, behavioural differences in the sexes, but they have nothing to do with if they will treat you well at the gaming table or not. Girl with Guys jerks: They will make sexist remarks at you (a girl), they will be condescending, they will be insulting. Girl with Girls jerks: They will single you out, they will gang-up on you, they will detect what is emotionally important to you and attack it. Girl with Cool guys: Even though you are the only female, they will see your presence as an opportunity to enhance the RPG experience with a presence of both sexes at the table. The games will feel more real, ideas that would have never otherwise appeared will emerge, and the guys will thank your presence for that. Girl with Cool girls: Well, not much to say here, but I'm quite convinced that an all-girl game must be fantastic. After playing for a few months, the all-girl group will welcome a COOL guy, which will probably have the same impact on their games as with the single Girl with Cool guys above. Q.E.D. Nothing to do with the sexes. You're dealing with arse-holes, or you're not. [/QUOTE]
