However, allowing male characters to equip female-only things in MMOs is something that they aren't willing to breach just yet, for PCs at least. This pose would be another thing they most likely would not accept, at least for a few more years, when it becomes even more acceptable to be open with it.
I'd rather see them spend time and effort developing gender locked stuff for men instead of making gear and emotes intended for female characters available to men. Because then we don't get much - if any - new exclusive gear sets/emotes for male characters.
