The interesting question is whether a society wants to allow exclusivity based on gender, not whether the minority gender in a particular group will have a good time.<BR/><BR/>In many countries, laws have been introduced to protect women against discrimination and has forced open many exclusively male clubs, and I'm guessing most women appreciate this. However, in an online society such as that of New Eden, no such laws exist, at least not formally. Why is this so, and should it remain that way? <BR/><BR/>CCP will still have to comply to its own rules and the laws countries it operates in. It would be an interesting legal experiment to see how this would play out if a petition would be made against the Hellcats membership requirements concerning a TOS violation of rule 3, stating "You may not organize nor be a member of any corporation or group within EVE Online that is based on or advocates any anti-ethnic, anti-gay, anti-religious, racist, <B>sexist</B> or other hate-mongering philosophies." (source: http://www.eve-online.com/pnp/terms.asp) When he petition would not be acted upon, legal action could most likely be taken against CCP to not only be biased in applying their own TOS but also for enabling gender discrimination.<BR/><BR/>I'm not taking a position in this discussion, because personally I would most likely not enjoy being in Hellcats, but I think that the issue of gender discrimination is being sweeped off the table a bit too much by focusing on a definition of misogynists and whether a guy would enjoy being part of PMT discussions.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I think the definition of 'sexist' in the Webster dictionary (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sexist) shows how on-sided the discussion about gender equality usually is, unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-59194918410074564162008-09-10T17:21:00.000-04:002008-09-10T17:21:00.000-04:00Hehe cheers, mate :) I only wish some of those nam...Hehe cheers, mate :) I only wish some of those names would dare to venture into lowsec...Ivanneth Maethorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281499789304894480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-57076159803495222462008-09-10T07:54:00.000-04:002008-09-10T07:54:00.000-04:00Honestly the corp is for women only, as I said to ...Honestly the corp is for women only, as I said to Mynxee if they cannot get past THAT part I'm not sure how much, if any benefit they will be to you.
