It comes from RPG Horror Stories. They write, playing a woman, I think I got the tiniest taste of real world sexism. Whoa. Okay. Whoa. Okay. Go on. Really? This guy like talking to women now is like, I get it, I lived it, I understand. Yeah, I know. I've been playing D&D on and off for 15 years now in multiple campaigns that got to level 20. But three years ago, I did something new.

I played a female character. It's fully the scene from White Lotus. I'm playing something new. I played a female character. We're a five person party, three men and two women in real life. In character, it's three women and two men because of me. Because of me. Thanks for clarifying. Because of Woke. Because of Woke.

As the years have gone by, I've started to notice little things here and there in how the NPCs treat me. I'm trying to play this character as kind of a take charge type person, but the NPCs tend to kind of brush me off when I feel like they shouldn't. I'm a powerful sorcerer with a kind of dark reputation, so I would expect they'd show me some respect, but often, well, they don't.

and it feels like sometimes certain other PCs just get a little more recognition, a little more respect for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. I've brought it up to the DM a couple times, and he's always had a reason. Well, this NPC talked to you like that because of X reason, or when the Barbarian in the group did X, that really earned the King's respect because of Y reason.

It's like each individual instance had a reason that could be valid, and no one instance is a big deal. But it's just that it kept happening. I've played with this DM before and never felt like this before, so it was kind of baffling to me.

Then some more time went by and I started noticing that NPCs would talk like that to other female characters too, and it was always the male characters who seemed to get the respect. And at first I was like, nah, that's crazy.

No. No. And at first I was like, sexism doesn't exist though. It's the children who are wrong. The DM is an old friend of mine and I know he's not sexist or anything, but once I noticed it, I kept noticing it. And I didn't say anything because come on, how whiny would it be for a straight white dude to complain about low-grade fantasy sexism?

Honestly, sometimes I'd notice a little thing and be sure it was sexism, and then the next time I'd be sure I must be imagining it. Like an NPC might talk to one of the male characters before us, or he might give them more respect than us.

I mentioned to one of the other guys, who I've been friends with since high school, that I felt like my character was getting shortchanged sometimes, not mentioning sexism as the cause. And he kind of shrugged it off, so I let it drop. This Sunday, as everyone was leaving, I found myself alone in the parking lot with one of the real-life women of the group.

Yet another NPC had low-level disrespected our characters in favor of one of the guys in this game, and it was on my mind. I said something like, is it just me, or does person A and person B, the guys, though I didn't say that, get just a little bit more respect than we do? She just shrugged and said, it's a man's world.
