because it precludes people based on gender?
just saying, if you were prevented from accessing a service, location or job, for example based on your gender, what would that be, if not sexist? |

Women's Restrooms = Sexist!
well...
You may joke, but in many European countries, the idea of segregated "rest rooms" is unheard of.
Lets be fair here, there a massive difference between preserving anyone modest when they need a poo and a channel set up to preclude members of the player base, based on their gender alone.
Your point may well be valid, but one thing being sexiest, doesn't make it okay that another thing is too. |

Sexist or not, the channel(s) exist for whatever purpose(s) the creator(s) made them for (i.e. safe-spaces, female bonding, synchronizing monthly cycles, etc.) Really, who cares? The channels don't offer any exclusive benefits to it's members that people can't get elsewhere from joining another channel.
No exclusive benefits?
MY GOD... IT'S A CHANNEL FULL OF CHICKS!!!!
That has benefits all it's own. |

Personally, I have no issues with it. As you rightly say, there are LOADS of channels that by their very nature, NEED to be exclusive.
That is NOT me point, My point is this, while you can dress it up as much as you like, this is still a sexiest channel.. something that is exclusive based on sex. You'll notice, if you can be arsed to read back wrote i posted (i doubt I would be arsed... lolz) You'll see I never made comment about if I think it's wrong or right. Cos Honestly, i have no feelings about that either way.
I ask myself, If i was a female gamer, would i want to be able to talk to other lasses and get away from the rank and file male gamers? YOU BET YOUR FCKIN ASS, i would. But all this doesn't change that fact that this channel and any like it, by very defination.. are sexest.
I'll live with it, by... as Bunny said, picturing girls in just white cotton panties having pillow fights and talking about how "they would like to try their first bi-sexual expirence"
and... I'm a logisister...
KDR, means nothing to me... but think about my caring nature ladies... it's not the size or range of your weapon, it's how much love your have to give... well proto armour reps give MAD loves. |

And I don't blame you at all. I have a female alt and you wouldn't believe the mail I get.  The main problem is not that they are creeps. Its that they are virgins who dont have a clue how to interact with the opposite sex so they hide behind bravado and act like goons.  EDIT: I should say that it is sexist but that doesn't mean its a bad thing, Positive discrimanation is a useful tool used by many nations.
LOL
Me too, the number of mails i have that end in a "xxx" is just amazing...
The best bit is when I talk to people on voice.. I have quite a basie tone to my voice... very clearly not a girl.
There is one guy who is hit on me soo hard right now, clearly hasn't read this forum or he would know I'm really a guy, however my whole corp has seen the mails and yes i AM playing the part, flirting a little.. just to keep the wind up going. |
