    Why? As someone else pointed out, this DRK AF gear on a ROE , Au Ra, Elezen or Highlander male would look imposing and powerful, but on a Lala? Or an Au Ra or Miqo'te female? Not so much. The point that several people made, including myself is that females can look powerful, but not by simply donning a smaller copy of what the males wear. Female power is every bit as real as male, but it's not the same, so why would their armor be the same?

    It's funny that rather than celebrate differences and different types of power, so many people want to rail-road females into being mere copies of the males. Why? Why not instead give females the respect of exhibiting their power in a way unique to females? And no, that does not mean belly windows or bikini armor, it simply means having armor suited to females instead of using the male armor and 'making it work'.

    Personally I think that suppressing the gender difference and relegating females to being smaller copies of the male form is extremely disrespectful and treats femininity as something to be surpressed. I think that *all* of the AF gear ought to have a version for males and an appropriately styled version for females; that maintains the look of the set for BOTH genders.
