    You'd have access to everything, just like I would, but because you don't like it all, I should be denied access? No. That's not how this works. Would I want, buy, or wear EVERY male gender-locked glam out there? No. But I would NEVER try deny access to them to someone who does want them.
    I think another way to put it is, at what cost, and for what benefit? There is a selfishness from both parties. Your request comes at a cost, with a benefit to you. That cost potentially means less of something that person might want. Hard to quantify such things without actually being SE, but let's not pretend it's just selfishness on one end... or try moralise about it.

    But I think they are correct, in that this is a point of view of a segment of the American population, and certainly some other segments elsewhere, but definitely not something the "majority of the world" has "gone past". Don't confuse your social media echo chambers for "the world".

    The cost would be to me... I would be paying my money for something players who play male characters can use that my character cannot. And players who play male characters, who would like to purchase items locked to female characters only, would be paying their money. What is selfish about wanting to pay money for something that is currently available, but only usable by some?
