Gender Bias in Character Creation

[KeyboardFacerollname]

If it has the same jiggle physics as breasts then that slider automatically goes to the max.

Just a bunch of pantsless guys running around with their junk wongling about.

Like Final Fantasy was meant to be.

I agree with most of what you said, but I think it's odd to suggest that STEM isn't work that women actually like to do. I seriously doubt there's anything hard-wired into women's minds that disincline them toward math and engineering and such - at least no more than for humans in general. I find it far more likely that the lack of women in these fields is because it's traditionally "men's territory", and women, even if inclined to partake, feel out of place (or are MADE to feel out of place by close-minded men).

The recent push to try to get women into STEM is not to try to make them "like men", but to eliminate the ridiculous notion that STEM is a "men" thing in the first place.

I don't think she meant that women aren't interested in STEM just that there are people trying to FORCE more women into the field to try and fill an imaginary gender ratio. Women are more than welcome in any field so long as it's their choice to be there.

As to the main topic: everybody loves boobs, men and women both. Bulges not so much.

The internet (and Balmung) has taught me that some men love bulges on women just fine.

LMAO! Hadn't thought of that.

Sorry about being unable to respond, busy day.

Actually i should have been a little more expansive. A better example is that women are already in STEM, lots of them! Women have parity in the life sciences, especially biology and microbiology. However, STEM as described is too often TE, mostly technology and engineering, along with more theoretical sciences like physics. It's just the whole argument gets framed around TE, especially if you also filter out science teaching.

It's just too often that people focus on parity in things like that, and ignore that women do like STEM, but in fields closer to their interests. Those get subtly devalued or ignored, because the goal tends to be trying to get into the male-dominated fields. The male ones tend to be heavily symbolic and analytical, which I guess a lot of women just do't find attractive. I don't like hard biological explanations for that, because a decent amount of men don't do well in those fields either, even though they trend male a lot. It's just though you can't just flip the inverse and expect it to work, because there are differences.

The interest stuff...idk. A lot of STEM interest isn't just putting people in front of it. Increasingly the people who do STEM as a career have to specialize in it at a very early age, to the point of knowing stuff well before the formally learn in post-secondary school. You can put people in front of a chess board, but master-level play goes so beyond that, that few bother to continue. I mean a basic appreciation anyone can do, but professional level stuff is hard. Like if you want to be a physical therapist, no one expects you to self-learn physical therapy well before you enter college.

Whatever happened to talking about bulge sliders?

I don't know. A page or so ago I said I didn't want to open this can of worms and then a bunch of other people dove in and I couldn't help myself ;-;

Bulge sliders are still silly though. Chest hair first.

(Hurray for post limits...)

I know that feeling....just trying to prevent what happened to a certain other thread.

Silly or not as long as it's optional I'm all for it, but you are 100% correct, chest (and back) hair first and foremost

[Ameela]

I'd settle for a male-only butt slider.

Just give males body hair options so no one has to use photoshop on screenshots anymore
