What you fail to know, is that dames isn't exactly exclusive to females. My fiance and I have played with men (yes males of the human race) that are members of dames. While their inclusion might be on some sort of special basis (family members and such) this renders your question invalid. But I'll answer the best I can. And the answer is yes I believe that while being a group of primary female gamers their group conducts their selves in a tasteful manner and my exclusion from the group is done in a respectful manner. They don't condem me for being a male they just choose to play with members of their own gender. I find nothing wrong with that. After all it would make me a hypocrite considering I'm a member of DOD. pretty much the polar opposite of dames. Do you find anything wrong with an all male group of father's?

For what I know, if I am wrong my point is invalid, the DOD openly don't have bias against gender, however the Dames do ( even if unofficially there are means around the rule ). I think I do remember when they got a "community spotlight" a requirement was to be able to prove your female-ness. So: DOD officially accept every gender. Dames officially don't accept every gender. This makes the Dames officially biased. If they don't follow their rule is their problem. My problem is that Bungie has supported a clan that is gender biased and assumes evil in gender. Which are some stupid ways to think. I also think that excluding girls from the evil "male-ness" also helps extend their by now internalized fear or men.
