Alright, this thread is careening off the track and is about to crash into an out and out flame war between the genders. The fact is, men and women are different. Whether or not it is conveyed in a MUD, it is a fact in real life. But people play games as an escape, the same way someone might take pain-killers to "escape" from the real world.
I don't think women would want a real-world simulation in a video game because they don't want the real-world, they want someplace where they can be a cowgirl, or a knight, or a warrior. I can understand why someone wouldn't be keen on an imaginary world where they were barred from doing what they want to do. I would be pretty ****ed if Rise of Nations forced me to play as Somali Bantu every game because of the color of my skin.
What I want is an end to the arguing about real-life issues we can't change, and getting back to the subject matter instead of a petty gender war.
