[quote]We are happy to announce that the Sisterhood of Guardians has expanded to include auxiliary clans - one each for Xbox 360, XB1, PS3, and PS4! This will allow more members to carry the clan tag, and make it easier for players to distinguish users on the same console. In order to be part of an auxiliary clan, you must first join the main Sisterhood of Guardians group (apply using the link above). Please feel free to message an admin with any questions. Good luck out there, guardian![/quote] I hope you write back. This has got to be the most sexist clan I've ever saw think twice before doing this stupid idea. Love ya

Lol, let me help you learn a few things first. Like what sexism actually means: http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/01/sexism-vs-prejudice/ http://www.bustle.com/articles/71400-6-reasons-men-can-literally-never-be-victims-of-sexism-and-those-who-think-they As our clan founder would further explain, "It's not sexist because there has to be a denial of fair treatment and men are not being treated unfairly. We are allowed to make our own admission policy and select members using our own criteria." Not being allowed to join a private space does not equal denial of fair treatment. Sorry, not sorry that there's a place male privilege doesn't force itself upon people. Instead of wasting folks' time with the ignorance, perhaps consider finding something more constructive to do? Love ya!

But, what you are saying is a form of segregation for a "safe-haven" for female gamers. Hate to bring race into this, but I can not see a difference between this and saying white only bathrooms. While, you have said in a previous post I read, that you are not bringing sexism into this or stated it. It's sort of implied. Bringing women into a "safe-haven" from men, do you not think that is sort of enabling. Men or should I say boys have and always will be the same thats a given. But, what can change is how you deal with them. Instead of getting offended give it back to them. It's called having thick skin and is a part of daily life, male or female. People now a days are so easily offended (Speaking outside this issue as well) and then people start making excuses and saying this should not be allowed. Honestly, till this day Martin Luther King had the right idea. Also, Segregation is the problem.

I'm honestly not sure where to start with your statement, but I'll do my best. I think the thing that bothers me the most is the statement in the middle - "men or should I say boys have and always will be the same thats a given." It's not a given, not even a little bit. Saying so is somehow assuming men and boys aren't capable of not harassing women, not treating them poorly, not creating environments which are hostile to women in both overt and subtle ways. Frankly, I think that is pretty insulting to anyone who identifies as male, and it perpetuates the idea that women are somehow responsible for the poor behavior directed toward them - that our existence as women is the reason men act this way, and it's our problem to deal with because men aren't capable of handling themselves. In regards to your remark about people being so easily offended. Language matters. What we say matters. It teaches others what we believe; it teaches our children what to believe and how to act on that belief; it teaches other people what we think of them. What we say has a real impact on others, irrespective of our intent. Instead of focusing on people being easily offended, perhaps consider that maybe people have been offended, or even threatened, by similar behavior for a very long time, but it is only now marginally more safe to express those feelings. Just because it's new to you, doesn't mean it's actually new to the human experience. I also think your example of restrooms is a poor one. Public facilities should be available to everyone, regardless of any aspect of their identity. However, we still retain the right to free association in our private lives, and a group/clan is a private entity. If we were out on the forums perpetuating hate against anyone in any form, I might understand your concern. But we aren't, and I don't understand it, except in the way that I have come to understand anyone who picks this kind of argument with us - someone who is more concerned with policing how women go about organizing themselves and their lives than with confronting the very real problems that still exist in our society. It seems to be easier to say we aren't acting the way you want us to, we're not organizing, gaming, dressing, talking, existing in the way you want us to than to take responsibility for your part in perpetuating a system that oppresses anyone who is not part of the dominant group. Maybe that's out of fear that you'll somehow lose your unearned privilege, maybe that's out of ignorance of how these systems form and are perpetuated, I really don't know. What I do know is that I'm over it. If joining and supporting an all-female group is "enabling" more women to be comfortable with gaming, to stand up for themselves because they have the support to do so, to have a community of people who can say they've been there and here's how they dealt with it, then I'll happily enable away. If that bothers you, that's something you need to examine for yourself. I have other things to do.
