Nothing I've said has said men are never portrayed negatively, or that it's ok to do so. That doesn't mean that media at large is controlled by women, and it doesn't mean that our society, taken broadly or within gaming, has corrected to the point where women are equal. From where I sit, we're not even close, so we're hardly in a position to be able to overcorrect. The article I posted pointed out the difference that I see between sexism and discrimination based on gender. I'm a fan of neither, and our group, while female only, isn't intended to create an environment that promotes either. It's about creating a safe space for women to game, which is needed. We don't have a problem with other clans pursuing their own unique missions, and we understand that providing a space for one group isn't a threat to any other. If this is really about a joke, then let me point out that you posted in an online forum, where there is no tone of voice, no facial expression, and in this case, no shared history between us for anyone to know for sure this is a joke. If you take a look down our thread, you'll see a number of comments just like yours that were in no way intended to be jokes. It also might help if your first response to mine didn't lead with, "That's cute", language that in many contexts is generally intended to denigrate the intelligence/relevance of the person on the receiving end. If you want to make jokes, perhaps think about the medium and context first.
