To let you know, sexism is discrimination against a persons sex. So this female only group is sexist against males. It is more normally used towards females from history and society which makes people think you can only be sexist towards the female gender. Sexist works both ways when it comes to discrimination of gender.
Personally I don't care if they are making a female only group or not. Its just a safe environment for female gamers to group and play the game without the majority of the male gamers that are hound dogs and harass them.

To let you know, sexism (or any other ism) requires power/privilege. Unlike discrimination, which anyone can do on any basis, sexism is discrimination by the privileged sex (in most cases, online gaming included, men) against the disadvantaged group (again, in most cases, women). So, by definition, as females, we cannot be sexist against men. We could discriminate against men, however, that would imply that we're treating men poorly, which we have stated time and again is not our mission. Creating a positive, safe space for women does not equal creating an anti-male space. If anything, one of the things I love about our group is how entirely absent concern about men is from this group - no man-hating posts, no rants against men being evil - just a group of women creating a positive space to game and have a ton of fun. Something I think you also appreciate given your post. Good luck in the world, guardian!
