The name "Dads of Destiny" itself is alienating in that sense. I'm not criticizing DoD, I'm a member. An active member. That being said, I've been active in Dod since launch and never once have I ever played with a female who is in Dod and only one guy who wasn't a dad. The idea behind Dads of Destiny is that adult male family men would have a place where they could game together, share stories and experiences, and have a group for likeminded folks who are in the same general season of life. Yeah there are some exceptions, but largely that's what Dod is about.

But anyone can join regardless of the focus or target audience unless I misunderstood

This is peripheral and only loosely tied to the OP's thread so I don't want to have a long discussion about DoD, but yes anyone "can" join. But the name itself implies exclusivity and the overwhelming majority of Dads of Destiny's member are dads who play Destiny. The point is that they are targeting a specific group of people and giving them a place to connect. Dames targets a specific group of people and gives them a place to connect. Are people mad that we have male and female restrooms? No, it seems like a ridiculous thing to even bring up, right? But the same principle applies to social spaces. Females interact with males daily, but they should also be able to have a place to be together as women because they are wired differently, think about things differently, they struggle with similar things and can provide support to each other, etc. We don't get mad when girls hang out together and don't invite any men. They're having a ladies' night. No big deal. Dames is that. It's a time and place for some friends to just be ladies together. How the actual frack is that a bad thing?

i respect you as a player, i respect you as a person. you seem like an incredibly cool guy. i pretty much strongly disagree with your entire position on what took place. i do not condone the behavior, nor am i trying to make an excuse for it. but honestly man, anyone with even a quarter of a brain knew exactly what would happen if they attempted to do something like what they attempted to do. it was like showing up to a guy's house for a date completely naked and blaming the guy for trying to make it happen. if you go to a lion's den with bait, how can you expect anything other than getting mauled? 99% of the comments were just dumb kids looking for a laugh or attention. none of them were genuinely trying to hurt anyone, nor did they really mean any of that stuff.
