Discrimination based on gender in a world where citizens are trying to eliminate such discrimination is easy to misconstrue. Further application in a computer virtual world, where gender is moot, creates more confusion. Even the Boy Scouts are being forced to let girls in thier organization.

 I personally don't think it's a big deal to require that the pirates be female in a guild called the War Wenches (considering what the definition of a wench is). Now, if they allowed male pirates to wear girl's clothes (not likely...they won't even let you say "cross dresser")... The Boy Scouts thing is a little different, though, because they always got to do cooler stuff than we Girl Scouts did. In the game, OTOH, everyone can do the exact same things - the tiniest pixie of a female pirate can be just as strong as the Hulkish guys. The other thing is, the people that, so far, have seemed to have an issue with it are kids - we wouldn't allow them anyway because of their age. And, if they want to cause drama by making a fuss about the female pirates only thing (or anything, really), that just confirms it; we don't like drama.

I just read ths little debate. Suprisingly the most thoughtful and well said posts were by (SUPRISE...) adults.
Males are nore than welcome to join as long as they have female pirates. In fact my husband is in the guild. Not to mention we have a new Wench that is a 45 yo father of 2. LOL All I can say is beware if you are a man behind your pirate....We do have "girl talk." It is not that we do not want men in the guild...we are just looking out for the younger males .... <snip> Bella Last edited by Lady Freckles; 07-24-2008 at 11:21 PM.. Reason: Inappropriate |

Molly is here!
and i AM that 45 year old dad of two!!! My first pirate Sven Ironrat is nearing that elusive pirate master status so i created a second pirate and named her after my daughter Molly. Why i choose to do a girl pirate i have no idea...probably just to try something different.
I mostly went through the first pirate soloing and the friends and guild members i met were all very nice...just all guys in their early teens. That said...bring on the girl talk! I have really enjoyed the posts by the members of the war wenches. You all seem to be witty and nice. i hope i can bring some of my humor to the group and am looking to "enjoy" this pirate as my first one was all business. Of course with privateering now out Molly may have to take a back seat for a bit while i try out this new addition! Last edited by Lady Freckles; 07-24-2008 at 11:22 PM.. Reason: Inappropriate |

LOL @ Bella
Besides if we had actual male gender pirates running around it would sort of ruin the "War Wench"s name. I for one quite enjoy having a guild of adult primarily women who get along! I've never been one for having many female friends, these here I already have at least one thing in common with! And for the sexual discrimination portion that I missed... oh poo. :P lol |

I don't think it's discrimination. In fact, I think these are all pretty cool guys - secure enough as men to play female pirates and not feel threatened by it. Some men would not do anything that makes them appear remotely female - like changing diapers or washing dishes. The ones who aren't afraid to do things that might get them teased - they're the good ones. Men have to have a wonderful sense of humor to be a Wench, and that's part of the guild. We've always spent a lot of time laughing, mostly at ourselves.
