[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 427359, member: 4720"] Well, it's "sensitive" for some of us men, too. A friend of mine was raped in high school, and three have dealt with serious forms of sexual harrassment. When rape or sexual harrassment comes up in real life, my hands start to shake, and I begin thinking about various ways to make sure the perpetrator never, [i]ever[/i] even [i]thinks[/i] about it again. That said, I handle the topic fairly well in a gaming situation. I think I have a pretty good grip on fantasy vs reality. The one exception was when a member of a group I played with began to get a little to "into" the idea. That made my skin crawl, and I decided to leave before I said something I would regret. That kind of person is why the DM has to have a better grip on what his group is up for than mine did. He thought [i]I[/i] was going to be the one with a problem. Of course, from his perspective, I guess I WAS the one with a problem. He was more than happy to keep feeding the glassy-eyed little... OK. Think I need stop talking about it. [/QUOTE]
