I don't know if this was mentioned but what about reporting bad behavior towards women to a GM, coordinator, or hobby store owner. I would think by doing this we could deter it from happening and creating a comfortable gaming space. This has worked before from what I've seen in a local hobby store. A guy was making lewd comments about a woman in the store and my friend overheard, confronted him about his attitude, then reported it to the store owner. The owner said that any such behavior would be an automatic ban from the store. The guy was kicked out but an interesting thing happened. Word about what happened got out and the store saw an increase in women players. More and more women started attending sessions and wanted to try playing role playing games. |
