No one is telling women that they can't go out and start their own naked paintball game against men. This is not an "all or nothing" deal.

Of course, and AGAIN, I'll state that I cannot be against it because everything is consensual. I think you're evaulating this from the wrong point of view. The context was that within this game, the female is always the prey, therefore the game is inherently male supremacist oriented. If people started a different game, it could quite well be female supremacist oriented, but then, that would be a different game, wouldn't it? The point is, THIS GAME is all about male supremacy.

Perhaps you are not familiar with bondage play, but the situation you describe is not at all unusual. Would you say that a femdom is a man hater?

What does an individual's perspective have to do with it? I am stating that I am against a game that institutionalizes within it male supremacy, and rigid roles based on sex. Within the community of BDSM, that is not true. One person might choose to stay with a certain role, but not because that's their gender and that's the only part the BDSM community will allow them to play. The BDSM community does not institutionalize the treatment of one gender always as the dom or sub gender. What individuals do is just that, individuality. but, when you institutionalize this type of behavior, an environment is created, I believe, that is disgusting.

Ok, sure. For the sake of argument, this paragraph is 100% correct. The men who play this game have feelings of superiority over women.

So what?

Are they going to stop having feelings of superiority if we don't let them play?

No, and I have not advocated stopping the game. I just am expressing the view that men who partake in this are disgusting in my opinion. It's not my business to get involved in making them not disgusting until or unless they hurt someone (without consent). But, I sure as hell wouldn't want to associate with people with that kind of psychological profile.

The site now tells people to go away,that it's not a public server.

I'm guessing that it was a hoax.With the owner now,perhaps,considering doing it for real when people wanting to book 'hunts' started contacting him.

A business like they propose,would be incredibly ill conceived.Paintballs can easily blind someone,and the first woman to have that happen,would be able to take the owners to court.

By the way, it turned out to be a hoax.

Even if this was true, why would any women do it for only $2,500, and that's providing that they don't get hit?
