Gender Bias in Character Creation

[MoroMurasaki]

Because you're using the labels "men and women". Take a closer look, you'll notice that the men that are interested in trades, overlap with one segment of the Lesbian and Transmen segment of people. For all that matters, the reason those jobs appeal to those people are because they are not hiding their interests. For a lot of other women who would like to be in trades but aren't, they don't want to either out themselves, or appear to be gay if they aren't. The negative perception is that women just can't do the work.

The same holds true on the other side. Women interested in nursing, and childcare, overlap with one segment of the Gay and Transwomen segment. However this is where things get ugly. There is an entire negative perception that Transwomen and Gay men abuse children. So that's why childcare is often not a thing men want to get into. Nursing, not so much, it's typically the lack of aptitude for responsibility that gets men removed from Nursing programs.

There is pressure, on everyone, to conform to their gender label. I'm sure there are plenty of people who are unhappy in their job, are only unhappy because they don't want to be there, and are only there because of not wanting to appear as less of a man/woman.

It is not a biological reason why these interests are the way they are, it's entirely a social-cultural thing. If you were to remove all outside influences, and give kids their choice of toys without labeling them as "for boys" or "for girls" , you'll find there's no significant difference that way.

I was here when you suggested that healer dps moves were there to "knock bombs away".

I was here when you suggested that the correct way to play WHM was to be constantly generating lillies.

I was here when you suggested such massive CD reduction that things like Largresse and Presence of Mind would be up upwards of 70% of the time.

Despite all of those things being standout moments in my mind when it comes to the very real and very frightening lack of understanding exhibited by members of these forums this is and likely will forever be the pinnacle of excellence in that category.

I can't actually respond to any of that because it makes so little sense. Not only have you managed to ignore the biological differences between men and women (hint: it's more than boobs and bulges like this thread would have you believe) but you have gone on to create some sort of gender-enforcement boogeyman that I imagine running around slapping barbies out of the hands of little boys and following people all the way up to college applications to force women out of STEM.

Do you have even the most basic understanding of statistics? Do you understand that trans people in the context of a statistic relating to the entirety of a large scale workforce are essentially inconsequential because there are so few? If some lesbians or trans men would like to work on an oil rig I say good for them. If some straight cis women want to do the same - awesome, have fun.

The problem is everyone has a chance to become an oil rigger and virtually none of them are or have been genetically or biologically female. The same can be said for plenty if other fields.

I'm done talking to you about this because it is painfully clear you will never apply common sense to this topic.

I hope this thread can circle back around to bulge sliders, thanks to the quoted post here I can say that they are no longer the most ridiculous thing in this thread. Best of luck with your days everyone, I hope you can recover from reading that nonsense.
