(Anonymous) 2013-08-02 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)women-only groups don't exist because 'all men are jerks' or 'women can't be assholes.'
they exist because there's a very specific kind of sexism that goes on in gaming communities, where you can barely get on a mic without being harassed all the way to hell and back. http://fatuglyorslutty.com/ is a fun example, though it hasn't updated in a while.
these aren't isolated incidents. They happen near constantly. In my case I don't even need to get on the mic, since my usual online handles are distinctly feminine. i receive rape threats from random people on the internet on a weekly basis just for being a woman who plays video games and admits openly to being a woman.
why the fuck wouldn't women want to band together in their own little in a community like that? all men aren't sexists, the harassment comes from a very vocal minority, but that still doesn't make it okay. female players can still harass other players, but i doubt they're going to be saying 'get back in the kitchen cunt.'

And then you look at it deeper and realize, no, no it's not. It goes without saying that not all male gym-goers, and not all male gamers, are entitled assholes who are going to abuse/harrass you, but there's enough out there that women's only spaces need to exist (for now. And probably for a few more generations. Hopefully, there will be a time when they don't need to exist."
You COULD try to have a "No sexist douchebas" space, but do you know how you're going to enforce that? By having sexist douchebags join, and then needing to ban them, and why would you even take the chance when just one sexist douchebag can pretty much ruin someone's entire day (or life, depending).
