Stop FFXIV Gender Inequality!

How lame that the bunny outfit is female only. That really irks me. It sends the message that only females should dress in something designed purely for sex appeal. Men? Oh, no, they can't be eye candy. No one wants to see that. How icky. [/sarcasm]

Skimpy clothes that are supposed amp up the sex appeal will be designed and cut in such a way as to cover just the right things and accentuate the body's sexy features. It seems obvious to me that a male version should have a different cut and style while still maintaining the same overall sexy/skimpy level. I don't know where some people get this "skimpy outfit for males = cross dressing" thing (which I have no problems with, I might add -- you want your guy to wear a dress, I'd say go for it).

This is exactly my problem with it! Part of what drew me to the game in the first place was that the outfits weren't hyper-masculine for men and skimpy eye-candy for women -- it was very good on gender equality. But as more and more outfits get added, they seem to be gender locked. And barring a few exceptions, almost all the gender locks are in favour of ladies. To quote the first post, if Hildibrand can wear a dress, why can't I?
