“I have been accused of being a nasty, old, sexist-male Chauvinist-pig, for the wording in D&D isn’t what it should be. There should be more emphasis on the female role, more non-gender names, and so forth. I thought perhaps these folks were right and considered adding women in the ‘Raping and Pillaging" section, in the ‘Whorses and Tavern Wenches’ chapter, the special magical part of dealing with ‘Hags and Crones’, and thought of perhaps adding and appendix of ‘Medieval Harems, Slave Girls and Going Viking’. Damn right I am a sexist. It doesn’t matter to me if women gets paid as much as men, get jobs traditionally male, and shower in the men’s locker room. They can jolly well stay away from war-gaming in droves for all I care. I’ve seen many a good wargame and wargamer spoiled thanks to the fair sex. I’ll detail that if anyone wishes.”
