I was misinformed by someone online on that point. I already clarified that with someone else. But there [i]have[/i] been other clans that have done the same thing that the Dames are doing, which I suppose is what I am confused with. The Dames are inclusive in a sense, but they are also exclusive. They use the same structure that clans such as XGeN or groups like PMS have done in the past, i.e. having separate male and female rosters. They still play together, add each other, etc., only they are on different rosters. Now, there are points you could make such as the fact that Dames host or are part of events like this (Bungie bounty) where they may or may not have males representing their clan involved.

I play with people who aren't in my clan. Kinda hard not to. Just because they play with others who may or may not be male, doesn't have any affect (effect?) on their clans discriminatory conduct.

We [i]do[/i] have a few males from what I have heard, though. If the Dames' current structure is really an issue, I'm sure they'll have a change of heart. Still, people pick on them way too much. How about Gamerchix? PMS? Frag Dolls? Of course, all are other examples of female groups. Plus Gamerchix and PMS have males too, but again, same structure as Dames last time I hung around those communities. PMS guys are in H2O, and I'm not sure about Gamerchix.

From what i have seen around the forums no male with his pack intact would venture into dames. Nest of vipers right there.

The males who supposedly joined the Dames [i]were[/i] said to have identified as otherwise, or something along those lines. And hey, all of the Dames I have met and played with are the exact opposite of anything mean.
