My brother and I both received reactivation emails recently. For him, it was $0.99 for 10 days of game time. For me, it was free for 10 days of game times. Does this mean CCP is sexist towards its main audience (males)?

Depends on many things, like have either of you ever used "free days" offered before to how long either of you have been inactive etc, i've not had a "free days" email in a long time and i have previously used some free days

I want to meet this life where girls get free things. I sure don't receive free things. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

youll find many groups in eve would also do almost anything to keep a female in their group.

had a couple of people die in an incursion, the guy got nothing but his insurance to go refit.

a girl got blown up, someone gave her another nightmare fitted, plus they gave her insurance, and almost every one in the fleet gave her isk.

At my college they do a lot to keep women there but if your a guy and screw up once your expelled

Good luck with your troll post and everything, but technically, in order to draw this conclusion you must prove that everything else was the same.

For example, CCP could have given the account with fewer skillpoints the better deal. Or the account that stayed in high-sec, or that didn't PVP at all. Or offered the main account 0.99 and the buddy-linked account "free." There's a thousand reasons that you must consider before jumping to "sexism", and the fact that you went there directly...

... troll.

EDIT: And to troll right back, you don't have the best looking avatar for a girl. Could do with a different hair-do, and color, to start, at the very least.

Wouldn't it be sexist against?

But no in any case. I think the offer was based on time unsubbed, so I would assume (and be prepared to be very wrong) that you were unsubbed longer than your brother.

The reason why someone got 10 days for free and the other not is because the later was not subbed for much much longer. From my own accounts I would say at least 2years and more

Why do women always complain about sexism?

Men don't and leftist feminists have been the biggest voices in the media for years. Men are evil just for being men.

Women complain because it is a real problem for a number of reasons and most men don´t complain since they feel sexism against women gives themselves an advantage in life.

To go back on topic I think the OP is wrong and that it's a quite poorly constructed troll post.
