Re: Male and Female Players: Are the experiences different?

I'll PM you a link on something I wrote so that I don't end up derailing the thread.

I think if this is done by design and is an integral part of the game, it would actually be fun to play. Obviously, though, I think that if they are significantly weaker, they should have a different benefit, so that would have to be designed in as well. Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd really have a reason to play unless it was COMPLETELY roleplay based.

ROFL!!! The way you phrased that was totally brilliant. Yeah, I don't think that AoC was designed to be sexist. I think it's sexist via its lazy design and general thoughtlessness for any women who might want to be playing. It might have been better if it HAD been deliberately sexist. Then I'd think that they had some rhyme or reason behind it rather than just being totally sloppy and callous.
