OK, not major, but I'd really like other perspectives before DD28 and I discuss it calmly later in the week. Please, only other relevant experience.
Background: we all (parents and two children, now AC) have played D&D, often together, with friends. DD and I play online, not together.
She and I were looking at in-person groups close to me. One's name refers to the Steinbeck play, replacing mice with dice. I accept it's a clever pun, but feel it excludes women, wouldn't be comfy going to it.
Daughter has a completely different view, I accept I don't understand it, we've had a really unusual flare-up about it. Feminism came in there somewhere. We are going to discuss it later, calmly, in the week, but I would really like to know if anyone else has had this?
It seems by not wanting to go to this group because of its name mentioning only men, I am wrong - there's a lot more to it than that. I have not understood things properly, we do talk, we'll sort it, but the strength of her opposition has really surprised me.
I'm not asking if either of us are right, or whether or not I should go to the group, just if anyone else has come across something similar.
I do think I am usually more or less up-to-date with current thoughts, but this I am completely surprised by.
Please, only relevant experience. Thank you
