[quote]Sorry if you feel offended, but that is just your perspective... You feeling they are prejudiced just means you don't get it.[/quote]
I'm sorry, but I obviously have invested my conversation in the wrong person. I strive to live in a world where sex or race or origin are not even mentioned, that where we are all humans striving for the same cause. If i can't even have this in a mostly anonymous, fantasy game where obviously everyone has similar goals, I certainly fail to see how the Dames are futhring our progress. It's a shame. Good luck to you, and i hope you find some better friends to play with, and maybe open up a little about your passive agressive sexism.

[quote]I strive to live in a world where sex or race or origin are not even mentioned...[/quote] As a fellow male, it is our privilege (yes, I said it) to live in this fantasy world. Sexism and racism will not go away by pretending that these issues don't exist. If female gamers want a safe space to play with other females, I say let them. You're not the victim here.

I realize im not a victim, personally. All I'm saying is that they're overlooking a good opportunity to better the community.

But the burden of improving the community doesn't rest on the marginalized group. Female gamers aren't the problem. Men are. If you truly want to improve the community, first, [b]listen[/b] to what the female gamers are saying. Don't take it as an insult or a personal attack. Learn from their experiences. Try to empathize. Reflect on your own behavior and whether or not you have, inadvertently or not, contributed to making an unwelcoming environment. Commit to improving your own behavior and confront negative behavior when appropriate.

The burden of the betterment of the community falls on us all. You, me, and the Dames. I do my part. The dames are propogating ignorance and unacceptance. Which is part of the problem. I have no qualms with the way i treat people, but i find that just about any opinion can be "justified", so take that for what you will. This is my opinion.

Thanks for this, I don't feel like i need to respond to his posts any more because you've said it well. People think they are making things better by ignoring the problem. Life will teach them a few things *sigh*
