In other news: Point out and criticizing the stupid things that men do to try to get sex is sexist against women.
I'm trying to wrap my head around this.
I've been in many games where the girl who the GM wants to get in bed, or already has in bed, gets special attention, "cool plot," etc. It's stupid boy behavior (never seen a girl GM do it) and one of the downsides to having one person with %100 of the social and material power in a gaming group. It's stupid and it happens constantly.
How is pointing it out an attack against the women involved? The only situation I can think of is one where a girl likes this behavior, and is afraid that acknowledging her privilege will take it away.

Regardless, though, if there's social dysfunction going on, I'm loathe to tell people "you shouldn't point that out." For whatever reason.
