Re: Difference between Men & Women

[Lizzie]

From ask the Staff, Inix wants to know if there's a coded difference in stats between the genders.

No, there isn't. Men and women both have the same capacities, and a "very good" for one is equal to a "very good" for the other.

The differences between the genders are in the RP, preferences for certain clothing...if there's a choice between a blouse and a shirt and other than the name they are exactly alike, men will be less likely to pick the blouse. It's a real-world bias. Virtual physiology - men in Armageddon still can't get pregnant and their "boys" are still popping out in the usual place while womens' sex organs are still usually tucked in nice and neat.

I think I read somewhere that there's a difference in the "max height" you can pick during chargen. I don't remember if that's a fact or someone asking or someone saying it should be that way, though.

Women can't write in the snow.

thank you!

Women do have a natural tendency to be mindbenders.

[Dalmeth]

No man on Zalanthas can write in the snow either.

I personally don't recall anything about height, and I would find it rather odd.  I mean, there are tall women in the real world, right?

I knew someone would point this out. Stickler.

Women can't write in the sand either.

Answered this in the wrong place. Teaches me to read the forums first thing in the morning.

Yes we can... it just takes a little more... patience.

Sometimes I think I'd like to see a bit more social differentiation in-game, but I'm quite happy with the sexes' stats being the same.

If we were modeling real life, a female combat PC would be almost unplayable unless she had "absolutely incredible" strength.

All female players get to choose two full guilds, one of which is mindbender. Male players, even if they're playing female characters, don't get this option. Sorry, guys. I think it's just the staff's way to encourage more female players.

This is patently untrue.

'tis rather the staff's way of making IG allowances for realism without resorting to sexism.

I've known women who could write in the snow...and larger letters...from MUCH farther away.

Don't challenge a woman to a pissing contest if its  distance...I'll tell you that.

[Nao]

I can piss holes in the snow.

[Ghost]

men are more different than women

[Barzalene]

But not more equal.

Principal Skinner: Am I wearing women's clothes? I didn't notice. When I look in my closet, I don't see male clothes or female clothes, they're all the same.
Edna Krabappel: Are you saying that men and women are identical?
Skinner: Oh, no, of course not! Women are unique in every way.
Other lady: Now he's saying women and men aren't equal!
Skinner: No, no, no! It's the differences...of which there are none, that make the sameness...exceptional! Just tell me what to say!
