Hey,

I've noticed all the threads over the past few years questioning why Men were here in the Guild, or why they shouldn't be or how it was odd, ect.

How do you guys feel about it all? I don't believe in discriminatory practices. No age-restrictions (unless it's for sexual reasons), on racial or religious preference, sexuality preferences, and certainly no gender restrictions. I own this Guild and I know Kageling who had been taking care of it for the last year or two felt the same way.

This will never change. Even if 99% of the Guild was female and wanted the guys out.

So my question is again, how do you guys feel? Do you feel comfortable here, welcomed, and do you enjoy this Guild? Or, do you feel uncomfortable or awkward because some Guilds and some people into Yuri don't think males should be?

All these discussions are usually about how the girls feel uncomfortable by the guys, but some of you guys probably don't feel to comfortable around such attitudes.

This is NOT intended to hate on ANYONE, be they think guys shouldn't be into Yuri or that otherwise. Do not speak badly of anyone specifically. I just want to hear what the guys have to say.

------ Harassment ------


I will not tolerate harassment here. If a male here is harassing you going 'I want to see you ******** a girl!', that's wrong. If a girl is being narrow-minded and bashing a particular guy for being here, that is also wrong. Opinions are one thing, harassing someone for their preferences or gender is another.

You can have your opinions all you want guys, you can think that boys shouldn't be allowed here for whatever reason and you can express this in the proper threads about it, but you can not harass other users for having different ones or because of their gender/preferences.

I will not tolerate this, as I feel none of you should have to deal with this kind of stereotyping, sexist, narrow-minded attitude when it's harming other members.

Disregarding my recent endeavor, I think this is a nice guild overall. I've even made friends with a few of the members.

Allow me to point out that discriminating the male members of this guild is sexism.

Women (and men!) have fought so hard for equality throughout history. Don't ruin it.

Sexism! That was the word I couldn't figure out.

I will not bow, I will not break.


. . .
I'm a bit hesitant to post because I'm afraid people will just think I'm a pervert. Well, I am, but it's not all because I'm like YEAH LESBIANS *fapfapfap*. I find gay relationships more dynamic and interesting than heterosexual ones (hence me also being in the yaoi guild), and I enjoy all of it. But yes, I feel a bit worried about posting, even if most of my paranoia is in my head. xD I don't think anyone has really said anything about it to me. I'm just afraid they will. I'm a wussyboi. :<

It's pretty bad when a mod here is feeling uncomfortable posting here. I know this has been something of a problem for the last year or two but it's only now becoming clear because of some recent incidents.

Honestly, the fact that male members of the guild have felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the guild, or unwelcome at all, makes me sad.

I believe that the guild is a place for all the members to share a common interest, have fun and get to know other, so if anyone is being harassed or discriminated against, it's simply not fair.
Everyone is equally entitled to enjoy posting and having discussions, because they're members of the guild! Everyone is equally entitled to their own opinions, too, but don't forget that everyone else here was welcomed in, and is as valid a member as anyone else - male or female.

It's not fair, either, to make sweeping generalisations because of someone's gender. As Saffron said, it's sexism, plain and simple.

I think we should have more guys in the guild. Because the majority of the members are girls, we get a pretty limited view of opinions and beliefs. To any guys reading this, *hug*.

"Awe, that's not cool at all!
It's such a bummer that you [Drakie] feel uncomfortable here, even though you're a mod.
Any girl who calls you perverted is just perverted herself.
Honestly... -shakes head-

I gotta add my yes to the guy event, really. We should do something male-appreciation-ish, because I do really like most of the guys I've met on here. :]

I think the guys in the guild have been super respectful toward the girls, so they deserve to be welcomed and liked here. We're brought together by our appreciation of female x female relationships.

If you have a problem with someone in this guild, guy or girl, PM a crew member, and we'll help you out. That's what we're here for. <3
