What I find fascinating is how *quickly* this became a big issue (apparently). That seems to happen any time a male population isn't favored or is even the most miniscule bit less favored. Funny how that works.

People have been complaining about this on and off for months. It just so happens that they've delivered a double whammy of disappointments in the last few weeks which have brought the matter to a head - we have about 16 extra female-biased items in the game now and they effectively announced that would rise to at least 25 in 3.1, going by the pictures and skipping the hair. Of course we're upset about that. Keeping quiet hasn't helped bring the matter to their attention, evidently.
And uh, if you're implying something about real life sexism, please remember that character gender and real life gender are not necessarily the same thing. If anything, this entire problem is caused by good old fashioned male-orientated fan service driving the designers to make lots of cute, sexy costumes for girls to wear (as depicted in the comic above). Several of the threads have been made by female gamers who want equal opportunity fan service for their male characters; it's not very fair to keep that from them just because of the way things work in the real world, is it?

Let's not look for sexism where there is none. Especially considering you don't have to actually be the sex of the character you're playing in this game.
Besides, every aspect of this game *quickly* becomes an issue, lol.

Considering you can be either gender in this game, your attempt at making this about sexism is a poor play.
What I find fascinating is that you're implying sexism here when many of the people playing male characters are actually females, and of course the reverse applies. I'm a 38 year old woman playing this game as a hulking dragonman. I've been a male Miqo'te and a female Miqo'te but this is my current incarnation, and I want to have unique glamours to look fabulous in too. It doesn't seem like much to ask.
