    To be fair, plate armor is unisex because it's built to be practical and bulky (they could use more exposed skin sometimes tho), a pink, white or gold "robe" full of ribbons, frills, and occasional exposed back/boob window with matching heels is definitely not unisex. Eden is the most recent example of male healers treated like they don't exist.

    This is a good point about Eden. But at the same time, there are other WHM outfits you can glam on to the current gear instead that are not heels and feminine. They aren't always. And women have the same issue, often. Finding what I consider to be elegant axes is a pain for me, for example. But some exist.

    That Highlander men cannot have proper eyebrows but the women can is but one example of what I am getting at.

    Historically a lot of those who say it isn't an issue gravitate towards playing female characters for the most part, too. Usually either exclusively or at least more often than they play a male character. That isn't a dig at you, specifically, but just something I've observed over the years.
    Fair enough. I didn't know eyebrows are a problem for highlander males. I do know I had to add the extra eyebrows from the facial features (?) section to make my own look what I think is decent. So I can empathize, but that again is an example of a female also having the issue. But yeah, agreeing to disagree.
