Hi! I'm back! Now...about this gender bias thing.

I have to admit I see the OP's point. I have a daughter and stepdaughter, as well as son and stepson. I've become sensitive to, or aware of, how the language of males tends to use references toward females as signs of weakness, clumsiness or even ineptitude. This is odd since I also saw my daughter coldc0ck my sun and lay him out for fifteen seconds. She KO-ed him with one punch. At the same time she was making straight As while he was struggling to make Cs.

In the competition of life, there's no clear leader. Of the females, one has a phd (is a medical doctor) and the other holds a masters in education. The boys? One is a certified mechanic. The youngest is in graduate physics trying to obtain a masters. (He has a ways to go.) I've thought the level of disrespect to be intolerable when I see terms like "douchebag" tossed around. I know now people who use such terminology have low opinions of themselves, and are unwittingly revealing themselves to be rather under developed.

I think it's important for EVE to have a solid mix of male and female players. I'm always impressed to find rabid PvP females, as well as carebear males. It shows a diversity that can only help the game. I join in the OP's call (even though she can't help being tongue-in-cheek about most things) for us in this community to set the example of truly advanced thinking and embrace equality for real. Equality in allies. Equality in enemies. 'T is a good thing.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention in your usual sardonic way, Ms. Repose.

I have observed that the more "tolerance" and political correctness is rammed down peoples' throats, the more they become exactly the opposite of what the social engineers appeared to prevent them from becoming. I say "appeared" because a more sexist racist society that squabbles amongst itself is easier to control and rob.

they still dont, since they only see airbrushed and digitally enhanced pictures that will leave them VERY disappointed at the look of a real woman.

Strangely inaccurate observation. Taking a suggestion as "cramming" something "down your throat" would seem to make one impervious to reason. Calling showing respect to others a ploy of "social engineers" smacks of an attempt to characterize intolerance and prejudice as a just reaction. I've heard this opinion expressed by fourth-generation members of the 3 x the 11th letter of the alphabet. One can only hope this view is fading fast into the past.

Why don't you use it for me? I'm sure you know what to search for.

So, you're saying the bet is off...fair enough. I'd hate to take your money.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

I literally have no money. I'm a student. :(

Also, I'm a girl on the internet. I don't care about your argument. If you were banned for what you say you were, I'd have to assume you altered your story to make it sound like you didn't do anything. But if you were banned for what you probably meant, then you probably meant it in a transphobic way. Which is just like being sexist, or racist, or whatever, and posting your hatespeech on here.
