I have always found it odd that with limitless choices of fantasy presented by the world of mudding that women often flock to the roles defined by society that limit women. Not everyone wants to play a great swordsperson, and that is completely valid, but even smart women who play smart characters seem to feel their strongest strengths are sexual. Why is this? Why do women choose to play an advisor to a strong male character, rather than be the strong character with an advisor? Why are great woman fighter characters often unbelievably petite and feminine or particularly masculine by way of speech patterns and bearing?
I suppose one could ask, the same questions about men. Why are male characters often tall and want to rescue every woman they see? But really, women are more interesting. Let’s concentrate on them.
How do we change this, if we even agree it is something which should be changed?
