Gender Bias in Character Creation

[Awha]

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 think she wants a slider to adjust the ratio of men and women in the work force.

I think she wants a slider to adjust the ratio of men and women in the work force.

Probably not wrong man, while I do not want to turn away any slider loyalist not sure anyone can help them with that slider. Nevertheless, I wish them all the best in attaining their desired slider.

On another note:

Putting a butt or package slider in a game is not the equivalent of a bust or hair slider. One is about making the character look a way you want to be perceived, the other is making a character a power fantasy where bulging muscle tone, body hair, packages, breast sizes, etc are exaggerated because the people who want them DO NOT CARE if it's unrealistic. That's fine, let game developers put whatever wacky character options they want in. Customers will see right through anything that is thoughtless, and "package" sliders are an example of a developer not even knowing why it's thoughtless. You put that in a game, and then that becomes the thing the game is known for. And probably gets it banned outside of Europe.

I do not appreciate you referring to a bulge slider as thoughtless, body augmentation is a personal choice not a political one. I support larger packages for Lala.
