I am wondering where there are women-only alliances. Happy to play *against* men, but would rather the company of just women within an alliance.

No this is bad because the whole alliance will turn into lesbian players. Just kidding i'm sure there are just that it's pretty hard to find one.
Some of the greatest women in history were straight, however, so it doesn't automatically follow. (Boudicca, Victoria, Catherine...)
just a side note on this.
wouldnt advertising an all woman alliance be sexist.
wouldnt it be the same as advertising and all male.all white.all black.all asian alliance.(if i left out any ethnic race sorry keeping it short)
you will start devolving into racism into that.
plus its the net i can say im a woman let me in.never know
They exist but I imagine most of them probably have fewer females than any other guild as they are less likely to attract actual girls and more likely to attract teenage males that each fancy themselves the only one clever enough to sneak into an all girl guild
Since that wouldn't apply in the real world (women-only safe spaces, ethnic clubs, etc.), I don't see why it has to apply in the game.
Yes, it's true you can say you're a woman but how long can you really keep that up - there are certain attributes men cannot fake for long. I know because I've run into those issues over years of being online. It always comes out in the end.
actually it is applying in the real world.
woman only and men only clubs are gettign sued.as in the womans pga was just sued for it.
and any club that is for a woman only or man only if petitioned by a person must let that person in.
so allowing u to openly say a womans only alliance u will have to allow
any other ethnic group no mater what there back ground is to start an allaince of just them.

Though sexism refers to beliefs and attitudes in relation to the gender of a person, such beliefs and attitudes are of a social nature and do not, normally, carry any legal consequences. Sex discrimination, on the other hand, may have legal consequences. Though what constitutes sex discrimination varies between countries, the essence is that it is an adverse action taken by one person against another person that would not have occurred had the person been of another sex. Discrimination of that nature in certain enumerated circumstances is illegal in many countries.
Sexual discrimination can arise in different contexts. For instance an employee may be discriminated against by being asked discriminatory questions during a job interview, or because an employer did not hire, promote or wrongfully terminated an employee based on his or her gender, or employers pay unequally based on gender. In an educational setting there could be claims that a student was excluded from an educational institution, program, opportunity, loan, student group, or scholarship on account of his or her gender. In the housing setting there could be claims that a person was refused negotiations on seeking a house, contracting/leasing a house or getting a loan based on his or her gender.
Socially, sexual differences have been used to justify different roles for men and women, in some cases giving rise to claims of primary and secondary roles.While there are non-physical differences between men and women, there is little agreement as to what those differences are.
And there has been recent court cases where men have sued to play on a womans team and won.
So women's shelters shouldn't exist? Afro or Asian-centric dance clubs should play alternative types of music to attract others? Gay clubs (male or female) should not advertise themselves as such?
There are many groups that you can argue should not exist if sexism or racism is brought into the conversation. How about the major sport leagues? Surely if women cannot have their own sport organization then they should be allowed to play for the Yankees, etc.
actually they are getting sued alot of them right now from the aslu.
im just trying to explain to you that if u advertise woman only alliance then if someone wants to make a all whites allaince or neo natzi alliance if they are disbanned for it they can come back and make it that your womans alliance is disbanned.
under the same terms and if its not evony can be sued for it.
me personally i dont care about you making an all woman alliance but you are getting into some discrimination cases with it.
just saying it will be more hassle then its worth for evony in the long run not to allow advertisements stating womans only. (still trying to see how they got away with it in the queen contests and taking the guy out,guess he didnt push it)
So Miss America should be Mr. and Ms. America? Do you want to see men in the swimsuit competition? Aren't there male-only body-building competitions? (Would that be the equivalent?)
Seriously, though - all-white/nazi are hate-oriented. That's *very* different!
doesnt matter if they dont send propoganda then its no reason why would be the same as your all woman group.
and just google some the lawsuits the aclu have brought lately,
anf theres been trans who have sued to be in the miss america and other pagents.
im just saying its something evony most likely doesnt want to get involved in a sexual discrim suit.
oh and terms of service

all woman alliance violates that right there
and ill give you a cookie if u find all my typos in all my posts.
Well fair enough with the ToS... but all I did was ask a question.
I'm trying to kick the cookie habit. :D
epic fail discussion. it is obvious that it depends on the situation, you cant set an all encompassing rule in stone.
so if there is a woman alliance, can u drunk while playing Evony. I suppose that if any one drink in Evony or don't go to church every Sunday will be attacked by an army of women.
Really? You guys are making way to much of the all female alliance. I am speaking from Amazonia who we consider an all female alliance. For the most part, we pride ourselves in this because we keep it mature, clean, and ensure that everyone keeps the tone respectful. Not saying that alliances with male members are not "clean". The reality of this is a lot of alliances want to speak freely with no worries to language. Nothing at all wrong with that either. We don't look for kids but speaking as a mother of a 17 yo and a 9 yo I would feel a bit more comfortable with a child in an all female alliance. We have one young lady whose mother is on one Alliance but she plays in ours.
Most female alliances are not out to hunt down the men. We have no discrimination of who we attack, I assure you. Women OR men are not safe if they show any aggression to our team.
This is a game, not a job. Lighten up and enjoy your alliance however you choose your team to play. My assumption is that the mature, tasteful players of Evony would welcome such an alliance to harbor the safety of children and respectful young ladies. Tasteless remarks show the class of those who put them down. If you don't know about the child who was endangered by a preditor you might want to read the forums a bit more closely.
I have to add this: We have earned a respect among our area and have many males who we have become loyal allies to and have never mentioned any complaint to the fact we are a female alliance.
With warmest regards to your topic and arguements,
Bo... Amazonia
P.S. The comments about lesbians, proves my point about why we are a clean alliance to join.
I tried to make an RP alliance of only female characters, it failed to meet the single minded smash and grab, it's a war game criteria that is evony. Advertising an all female alliance begs for a perv infiltration. I don't know if that will fly.
Yes in Sever 4 there a all female alalices call lesfemmia
