Dollmaster - 4th healer suggestion

[Eloah]

What the hell is wrong with everyone. Have people forgotten that masculine and feminine aren't the same thing as male and female. Reading through these post I can't tell if people are advocating for the terms proper usage or using them as a synonym for male and female.

Look all of the jobs are gender neutral, but some can lean more towards masculinity or femininity depending on your interpritation. Take the tanks for example. WAR and DRK are quite masculine, but PLD could be considered feminine since they are viewed as regal and dignified, and fight with grace and elegance. For the healers WHM and AST might be feminine but SCH could be seen as masculine since they are a tactical military job and rely on structure and precision. For the melee NIN, MNK, and DRG mostly masculine, but SAM could be viewed as feminine, mostly for the same reason as PLD. Then of the casters SMN is probably the most masculine job, but RDM is similar to PLD and SAM with its elegance, and BLM and BLU are both very theatrical.

As for the ranged. MCH is quite masculine, but there is something funny about BRD and DNC. Throughout the series, and especially in games with gender exclusivity, BRD is usually a male only job and DNC female only. But here's the thing, BRD is a feminine job and DNC is a masculine job. BRDs are meant to instill encouragement and soothe their allies, creating a calming peaceful environment; tranquility is a feminine trait. DNCs on the other hand are supposed to mesmerize and instill a sense of passion in people. Passion is a form of aggression, and whether it's bad or good, it creates a sense of power and energy; energy is a masculine trait.

So please don't categorize, and use the right labels. But truthfully none of that matters because its how you see it. It's not the outfit, or the weapon, or the skills, it's the concept and the overall lore of the job that makes it masculine or feminine.

And no DRG is not feminine because they use a pole and "pole dance", that's just stupid. Last I checked Chip 'n' Dale's was a thing.
