Men get their Forbes 500 Cover Photo Crossed Arm Executive look
But all women have is this!
Why can't we get the same poses too?
Why must women present their boobs like offerings to the baby Jesus , and Men have to be powerful and strong and be the one in charge?

Because men are powerful and strong and we are in charge.
It's not like the woman characters are forced to pose that way, its just you guys playing a female character want it posed that way. I have seen plenty of female avatars that look pretty good. |

I've seen several female characters on this forum that look like they're in charge, there's also a lot of effeminate male characters.
War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. CCP can't patch stupidity. |

If it makes you feel better, I'd love to present my junk to you on a silver platter if the pose system allowed for it.

I don't have big b**bs because i know if someone crack the Eve's sourcecode in the future to show naked bodies in incarna 2.0, i will not be forced to watch ugly giants surgircal scars on those to maintain their surnatural shape, like in Real Life.
Plus : if my girlfriend takes control of this char (will happen only if Incarna 2.0 make sense to walk in stations (quest, science, exploration, etc...) she will have a pretty face and body to control. (already validated)
I also avoid any remarks when she look at it (Oh, so that's you looking for? a plastic body? Go away, you perverse ! )
For men.. i must admit my second char has glasses and crossed arms.  |

Because most of the Eve's players are Americans (that's United States for you metric people.)
Why do Americans think men should be strong and women should be heavily ornamented? Well, it's like this:
* women are ~50% of the US population
* in Congress, our representative body, women comprise ~17% of our legislators
* the US is a predominately Christian nation
* the US has a two party system and one party is rather conservative and has a fundamentalist view of Christianity
* fundamentalist Christianity prefers/teaches that women should be subservient (i.e. defer) to men
* men have one hormone and not enough blood flow to support two brains
So if a US woman wants to change something, she
* can run for office, but that's not encouraged due to a culture women deferring to men and that whole choosing between a career and motherhood dilemma.
* she can convince a man to do what she wants,
* she can stay in the kitchen making sandwiches and otherwise trust a man to understand her needs well enough to represent her (i.e. rely on men reading women's minds.)
Ergo, women generally have to express power via a proxy, which means controlling the proxy, which means boobies.
tl;dr - blame America.
You can tell me what is and isn't Truth when you pry the tinfoil from my cold, lifeless head.

I don't know about that.
It might be the death of our current civilization, but I'm pretty sure us being the dominant species on Earth has shown that caring for even the dumbest specimen is a winning strategy - as far as survival of the species as a whole.

I'd argue that caring for the weakest among us is a relatively new trait to our species, so let's not jump to conclusions on that. Lol
You are probably right, it could be the death of our civilization, not necessarily our species; although I will argue our intelligence is the factor that makes us the dominate species, so if we lose that, what is to stop the ants from taking over?

Pretty much this.
CCP created hundreds of variations for every part of their avatars, which can be used--with limitation--in a variety of ways to create a rather splendid variety of characters and archetypes. What people do with them is only telling about their personal tastes, not CCPs intent with regard to how they use them.
I kind of like the Airforce Officer look for women, if you want in Charge. I believe it's Caldari. I could always make a large-in-charge women for you if you want it proven possible.
The only thing I didn't really like was that they made women look to weak in that they can't really achieve proper muscle definition and tone and always look kind of soft. Granted, that is somewhat normal in some places, but actually it's not really that uncommon for women to be in quite good shape.
Mind you, it's really quite irrelevent provided they are wearing clothes.

Look at a group of Chimpanzee or Gorillas. They will not abandon an old member of their pack or the sick. They will care for it. Would be pretty safe to say that early man also cared for members within their social group like that.
What happens, to let's say, a sick or old Zebra? It will get targeted by the lions and the rest of the Zebras will be happy it wasn't they who got eaten. They don't defend or care for the sick specimen. If they could, they'd probably trip the sick Zebra or something when the lions charge at them, lol

I think we are talking about to different levels here. You are describing a family dynamic, and yes families caring for each other has shown to be effective. I'm talking more on societal level. Governments, Corporations, etc. our species has thrived on the aggressive and strong subjugating the weak; this is what drove advancement of our species, the strong taking from the weak.
I used to be a person that thought everyone deserves a chance and we should care for everybody; but after spending time in the world, I've learned people become dependent on others to care for them way to easily. Give a man a fish...
As I've aged and gained experience, I've seen that caring for the weak only keeps them weak; when the weak are forced to fight to survive, they can then become strong...
I won't kid you though, I don't claim to be one of the strong...

Good question. I'd place him in the strong. His intelligence grants him that strength. Compare Hawkings to your own local paraplegic, you will see Hawkings' strength provides him with a higher standard of living (assuming your local paraplegic is not the child of an extremely wealthy family that takes care of him/her).
Of note, not all the strong need to subjugate the weak, however, the strong should not coddle the weak as well. Conflict and competition is what drives the weak to become strong. Some are born naturally stronger (actually part of the post that started this discussion), others have to struggle for it. Either way works, the strong should not be hamstringed to protect the weak.

What happens, to let's say, a sick or old Zebra? It will get targeted by the lions and the rest of the Zebras will be happy it wasn't they who got eaten. They don't defend or care for the sick specimen. If they could, they'd probably trip the sick Zebra or something when the lions charge at them, lol
I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us no very little about early man, especially when you consider that the common misconception is a man with a club over one shoulder hauling a women home on the other.

I don't know about that, I've seen plenty of episodes of the Flintstones, think I have a pretty good idea of what it was like.

You guys can have your Social Darwinism and rat races, I just wanna enjoy life. Who cares about strength and weakness if you're not even seeing the little wonders that make life worth living.

Agreed good sir.
I do my best to be fair and decent with everyone I know and come into contact with.
If I fail, it is a lack of ability on my part rather than the desire to do anyone down.
However, it never fails to amaze me, the number of people who mistake my desire to be nice to folk for weakness and lack of purpose in life.
You want fries with that? |

Ah apathy, ignorance's side kick in the downfall of our civilization. It's fine to not think about it and just enjoy life until someone tries to prevent you from enjoying life, then it becomes relevant and one wishes they took more of an interest in it.

Nah you got it all wrong, It's not apathetic to focus on the little wonders, rather it's about choosing to focus on what's really important instead of getting caught up in all the superficial crap modern society seems to shovel on the masses in order to keep them in a perpetual state of distraction and conflict. It's not about being apathetic at all, it's about taking a stand for the sake of one's sanity, and choosing not to play the social games of a society that has traded it's sense of decency and empathy, for a nihilistic pop culture of flavor of the moment crap.
I'd rather laugh and go fishing, listen to the birds, and enjoy things that make this short and precious life worth the effort of putting up with all the crap humanity creates.

I think we will have to agree to disagree on this. We do not live in isolated bubbles and ignoring the society around you is not the solution in my opinion. If current society is so horrible, why not fight to change it. Complacency is the same as commiting the acts yourself.
Of course maybe I am misreading your post, and not fully understanding the intent.
