The Gaming Den

Remember that episode of Star Trek where men and women were totally segregated from each other and never interacted except violently?

Is there any RPG, good or terrible, that takes place in such a gender war setting? Where men and women are divided into two monogendered nations that are in constant conflict with each other. And all reproduction is done through cloning, (or gentlemen's agreements that involve the all-male country sending canisters of sperm to the all-female country) but in any case the masses don't know how sexual reproduction works or even that it's possible, and the two genders consider each other to be incompatible alien species.

Of all the crazy dystopian sci-fi futures, it's an interesting one to explore, as well as as that is so absurd that it makes for good dark comedy.

Can not recall seeing that particular setting, but might be interesting to dig around a bit and see....

So on the plus side if the party is going behind enemy lines they would have to dress the part.

The old Macross / Robotech Setting if available?

I think there's some anime's you can dig up around this concept. I know I watched one in 2002.

The anime that comes to mind first along these lines is Vandread, but it's primarily a mecha show.

I remember hearing about something along these lines for Macho Women With Guns, but I'm not sure if it was an official setting or some homebrew.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macho_Women_with_Guns

Macho Women with Guns (MWWG) is a comedy role-playing game created by Greg Porter and published by Blacksburg Tactical Research Center (BTRC). (A D20 System version of the game is also available from Mongoose Publishing.) Nominally a science-fiction game, it parodies both action films and other role-playing games.

Taking advantage of the earthly chaos, Satan has dispatched his female minions, the Batwinged Bimbos From Hell, to rebuild society in a form he approves of. The Vatican has responded to Satan's plans by dispatching its elite group of warrior nuns, The Sisters of Our Lady of Harley-Davidson to combat the bimbos. The two groups of women compete (sometimes violently) to rebuild civilization by vanquishing post-apocalyptic menaces and male chauvinism.

Yes, but many "critters" in the game are male humans (frat boys, rednecks and the likes). There are also some kind of parallel worlds, so I guess there could be one with an open gender war. But once again, I'm not sure if it was in an official product or if it was a homebrew.

Macho Women with Guns was an actual game, granted being a bit tongue in cheek (and other parts) by BTRC, the same people who brought us Warpworld and Timelords ( not the Dr. Who one, but also about jumping around in time)

I don't think "gender" is the appropriate word for this kind of game, as some minorities out there could find it offensive somehow and start a shitfest because... yes.

Gender works. You could call it "Sex Wars" too, but that implies more a war fought about the act than the attribute.

"Gender War" gets iffy if the female side is TERF*s, but that could actually be a plot point, where there's a TERF faction within the broader Female Party.

Well, Wraeththu the RPG had men and women versus flower-penis-Ziggy Stardusts.

A book I am going to review called Otherverse America Campaign Setting has a sorta gender war with the main conflict being called the Second Civil War, which is about Abortion and a couple of other things
