Can I be the football?

[Josh]

Now thats to bad I hate football to and now to be hindered by my gender again anyways I hope you all have fun

Whaaat?

[Josh]

You know, some men like watching the superbowl when they actually CARE about the teams (or if they had tickets they could have pee wee leagues play but I digress.) I know it's not many, but also true. In this community, we have the TV on and mostly are gaming at those times (not last year and that upset DID surprise me at the end.)

But now I am excluded by those who fought for equal rights just due to my gaming birth? Some of the teams making the playoffs I care a rat's behind for, and Thelanis is my main server.

Having a lady's night is fine, but doing it assuming we must do this and as "normal" screening out males is...well....I don't like anybody being potentially left out by proxy, quota, retributoin, or even the female's sterotype of men!

No, have fun, but think about tthis setup and forum support as archaic as women supporting Chippendales. Yeah yeah, the men are empowered and control the women and are rich doing it for college....right.

Or in other words: If I posted a MEN ONLY event, how quick would you think the cries of sexism and discrimination and "well THEY did it before so NOW WE CAN AND THEY CAN'T" would "rationally" come up?

(Anyway I wonder who vouches for the women by transgender operation?)

No I'm not forcasting doom, but I *AM* being fair about trying to stop any forms of double standard even if unintentional.

No, no protesting or reporting or pettitioning, just a request to think about the concept if it were reversed, and if that makes the current one a proper thing if formally posted as an event?

Of course, "Football widows" does cover everybody.

(You're next oh "woman empowering" "Curves" gym...yes I will make everybody equal including marriages for all and therefore EVERYBODY will beaoch and moan about their life MUHUHAHAHAHA!)

Poor LA people... you don't even have a professional team, much less a championship caliber one. It must suck. Oh well, you can always have a wheat germ and papaya smoothie and watch the NBA.

[Cadaia]

Have we settled which one(s) we're doing yet?

[Jaggie]

I don't get off work till about 7est..... I'lll beg boss-man to let me go home early but I'm not gonna hold my breath on it... :x

L.A. has the right idea: "NFL, you want a team in the second largest media market in the U.S? You pay us, we don't pay you" (at least that's what I like to think is going on).

[Krysta_Shadowvol]

If there's room I'd love to Join you.

I could Bring any of My high level Char's I have a Bard, Cleric, Rogue and Fighter that are all 16.

If it's DQ i may need to do the Pre-Raid Depending on who you need. I have 10 day's to do the other quests.

I just have to Remember to Stay off Timer. LOL

[red_necesary_villian]

Hey Jules,
If I'm around, and if you have a spot, I'll either bring my cleric, sorc, fighter, (or hopefully) the bard, if she's ready by then.

And, seriously, Query, please stop whining. This happens every blue moon, or so. Frankly, without posting and scheduling this in advance, its **** well near impossible to get an all ladies run of anything together. Go ahead and post your LFM for an all male run. We'll gladly avoid the excess testosterone and male ego that would come from an intentional all male run.

Is that what he did? One of those "you're being sexist" rants? I may be going out on a limb, here, but I'm guessing most groups are already all male.

He just needs something to complain about or he gets gas.

Having a lady's night is fine, but doing it assuming we must do this and as "normal" screening out males is...well....I don't like anybody being potentially left out by proxy, quota, retributoin, or even the female's sterotype of men! Oh, you just wanna hear all the juicy gossip! I'll give you a hint: This time it is for the most goregous male player in the game! And wine, we always discuss alcohol.

No, have fun, but think about tthis setup and forum support as archaic as women supporting Chippendales. Yeah yeah, the men are empowered and control the women and are rich doing it for college....right. I like Chippendales. Good furinture. Oh....you mean the guy who...dance? They're ok, too.

Or in other words: If I posted a MEN ONLY event, how quick would you think the cries of sexism and discrimination and "well THEY did it before so NOW WE CAN AND THEY CAN'T" would "rationally" come up?

Go ahead! Sounds like fun! We will be too busy (and maybe drunk!) to care. REallly.

OMG! DOUBLE STANDARD? Please! I know you well enough that raining on us girl's parade is silly.

Actually, no. Widows and Widowers would cover everything.

(You're next oh "woman empowering" "Curves" gym...yes I will make everybody equal including marriages for all and therefore EVERYBODY will beaoch and moan about their life MUHUHAHAHAHA!)

Now I know you are being silly.

In lime-y greeness!

Branmakmuffin is defending us ladies - be still my heart - this is a first

Thanks,

Actually I was just pointing out his hypo and his hyper: crisy and bole.

[moorewr]

Considering what happened when football teams were there, and considering they actually thought it was worth recruiting Beckham for the Galaxy.. it's more like LA has exited the American football market for futbal. They like their basketball, but American Rules Football? Please.

Oh, and enjoy your raid! I'll try and listen in on the House channel.

[Uamhas]

~blahblahsnipblahblah~...yes I will make everybody equal including marriages for all and therefore ~blahdeeblahblahblah~

Everyone isn't equal, or the same. Never have been. Aren't now. Probably never will be.
You still cannot come along on the all-girl raid.
You are more than welcome to put together an all-male raid- I promise I won't complain that only boys are allowed. (I probably wouldn't even notice.)

[baddax]

Anything that promotes more women in ddo is a good thing. Its also a plus for us guys to not be bothered during game time so im all for it! Good luck guys, er ladies!
Just make sure to take plenty of breaks for Our refreshments, Us guys get very thirsty and hungry (beer,chips etc.) durning game time!

I'd complain I want girls on my raids when ever possible, especaly the ones with voice chat and strong souther accents.....

[baddax]

Can you define "Noob" as most of the ladies that will be going on the raid started before the join date listed for you? I started in July of 2006. A couple of us are Guild Leaders and Guild Officers and represent a wealth of game knowledge.

First time I was in a zerg fest was on my first Ladies Raid - it was the dragon. Now when my guild at the time ran it - well it was questionable if we would get in completed at all let alone with the speed and competence that the participants show.

[Uamhas]

psst, Julez, I think he was saying "Not I" to running with certain females with um.. voice chat, and... uh. strong southern... acc.... hey, do you think that refers to me, or is that narcississippistiticable?!...
Anywho, it was something about running with one hand in the middle? Not sure tho, you know guys don't think the same way as girls.
