Discrimination, privilege, and -isms, oh my.

I keep seeing threads that trying to assert some normality to behavior(s) of predominantly males towards females.

The idea being that it is everyone's responsibility to do something about the issue.

The fact is the things discussed are not "normal" behaviors based on cultural or gender identity or privilege if you will, these behaviors are not socially acceptable, show a mental health need, and have nothing to do with healthy well adjusted males.

The threads attempting to links psychiatric behaviors to persons in a group based solely on gender are at the least misguided. Suggestions such as increased awareness, identification of perpetrators, insisting on treatment, harsher penalties are more responsible than vilifying an entire gender of gamers.

the following has been deleted as "off-topic" (in two different threads), though entirely factual information

and this one

The problem is an identified and recognized psychiatric problem...

Frotteurism wiki page

Frorreurists rely on crowds such as on trains to touch as many people as possible, without consent and to escape being identified.

A single perpetrator can have multiple victims.

Much more likely for one person to grope hundreds, than to assume 100 gropers who (controlled their impulses enough to) only grope one person each.

This is a real issue that faces females everywhere, our female gamers as well. If you are a guy with a problem or know someone who has this, seek help!

Locking. We're not interested in hosting a thread on paizo.com whose stated purpose seems to discourage folks within our community to take a stand against harassment and the more troublesome issues that arise in this hobby. There are of course cases where an individual may be suffering from mental illness, but that's not the discussion that's being had, and this initial post reads as letting this condition be a reason to not encourage people to curb/discourage negative behavior when they see it, and use as an excuse to not acknowledge the very real struggles and experiences of a significant portion of gamers. I would suggest reading over our Community Guidelines before posting further on this issue.
