Well, my daughter and her friends play, so that's a data point.  The nice purple haired lady down the street runs D&D at the boys and girls club.  There's a social aspect that has changed substantially since the eighties.  I've known guys who absolutely don't want girls at the table.  Generally they're guys I don't want at the table.

Yep, it became popular, it became cool and presto! now more women want to play, and change it so it's nothing like the thing that became popular.

I wonder: Is it okay for women/girls to want to play away from men/boys? Would those who say yes want those same women/girls at their table?

Why isn't allowed for men/boys to have their own sex segregated spaces anymore?

Yeah, GeekyBugle! I think that having women join the game table is great! *Mostly*, right? *Laughing* There does seem to be that weird, fucked up deep urge that women seem to get where they then proceed to want to make all kinds of changes to the scene that they found enjoyable to begin with. Fuck no! Keep the fucking women IN CHECK! But yes, normal, cool women that are respectful of the game, the table, and men--are generally awesome. There is that potential problem of being that so many women are corrupted by Feminism. That, I think, is a contributing cause to women's stupidity in virtually everything.

Yes, it is also fine and good to have game tables for just a group of men. Nothing wrong with that at all. The women don't need to always be in every male group for everything. It is also important though to gatekeep out of the game table weak, "White Knight" male feminists. That way, the group of men can simply enjoy being together as men for the game. Cigars. Cervesa, whiskey, all around!

The game table vibe is very different from all-men groups, compared to mixed men and women groups. As I said, women bring their own flavour to the table. It is generally good, but needs to be supervised and viewed carefully. Men, in general, on the other hand, are their own distinct type of environment, but are also more predictable and stable than groups that include women. I play tables that are all men for one group, and two other game groups that are mixed men and women.

It also occurred to me. Why the fuck do the pussies cry about the male only groups? Whaa! Whaa! These people need to plug the fuck into ALL MALE softball teams, all male Rugby teams, and all male Bowling teams. Hello? Yeah, there are mixed versions of these too, as well as groups just for women. That's because normal people have recognized that each kind of grouping type provides a very different social environment. This kind of reality has been going on forever. *Laughing* You know what I'm saying, Hermano!

Semper Fidelis,

Yeah, I mean when it's only guys we can talk however we see fit without caring if we'll offend the delicate sensibilities of a woman.

I rather play in a group where I'm the only man (provided it's not crazy cat-lady-to-be women) than to have a male feminist in my group.

I'm currently playing in TWO groups, one started and remains as only men, not by design but hey, the other started also like that, now we have a woman playing with us, I'm okay with both, I'm also perfectly okay with women (of the sane and insane variety [although the insane ones should never be allowed around sane people]) having their own sex segregated spaces, in return I want my own sex segregated spaces if I wish to retreat to one to be free of pussy footing around their sensibilities.

We used to have Cantinas and Bars, the Cantina was men only, so we went there to play, talk shit and swear like sailors, but the Wahmen cried until daddy government stepped in and now both are forced to allow women in because (equality and inclusivity and bullshit).

Of course wahmen only places are allowed to exist because those aren't excluding men somehow, and if they are it's a good thing.

I'm sick and tired of pretending it's not discriminatory, it is, and it should be allowed, why the fuck not?

Maybe we should put someone else in this slot for now. I'm sure there's someone we can tap or rehabilitate ..."
