IGÇÖve often wondered and canGÇÖt find any thread on this.
Trolls & flames welcome as always. But some thoughts appreciated as well.
So why did you pick a female character?

My main is male. Female alt is a change of pace. It really doesn't make any difference except being slightly more fun to customize in character creator. Malcanis for CSM 8 Module activation timers are buggy - CCP please fix |

I vaguely remember reading that for some it is about creating detachment to minimize the sense of loss when podded.
Anyone here do it for sort of that? Innominate Nightmare, :"Your Mother is an exotic dancer, and your Sister works in a Quafe factory!GÇ¥ |

I think you are overthinking this. lol
Most men like their main character (themselves) to be surrounded by a harem of pretty females that don't talk back and dont shout at them for not doing chores (their alts) :) Just like in real life.
Also the b@@b issue is a strong determining factor. |

It never even crossed my mind to pick a girl.
There's got to be some Freudian subtextual explanation for that.

Well, in the beginning, we didn't have WiS, so we didn't have to deal with the Homerphobia of staring at a man's rump all day in 3rd person. Then Captain's Quarter's (CQ) arrived and everyone created BewBies! female alts. Then everyone[1] realized this wasn't WiS and turned off CQ. Eventually sub churn will restore the gender balance to what it was pre-CQ.

I keep a couple of female alts for when I get the urge to play with space barbies, no lie. I support Malcanis and Psychotic Monk for CSM8. |

Wanted to play Vherokior for RP reasons, couldn't get an agreeable look from the males, while the females looked downright praeterhuman and more in keeping with the 'evolved' inhabitants of New Eden.
Still have yet to RP in this game, though. [:smirk:] |

My hauler alt is female. I made her way back when, she pretty much just hauls and moves stuff. I figured i needed a female avatar eventually, all the rest are males. no real reason but she looked nice |

The chances of getting free stuff from other players are increased by ~0.01%.
Pro Tip: Let them have small breasts. This hides your real gender even better.

People give you free stuff when you pretend to be a girl. Apparently booking your flight & accomodation to Iceland BEFORE you buy the tickets for the convention which is pretty much the only reason you wanted to go there in the first place is popular. |

Would you rather stare at a pretty lady's face all day? Or an ugly mug like mine?
Also in other mmo's you really like to stare at a guy's ass when he runs around while your playing the game? |

It's more of a sliding scale where on one side you have respect but responsibility and on the other side you have freedom but no confidence.
Females are less threatening to the alpha males which affords them more breathing room. Some mistake this for an advantage but females are also treated as less stable and less reliable.
As a woman the advantages are very short term. The extra breathing room you are afforded is useful when you're new to a community but you are seen as naturally less stable and capable than men so there's a tendency for the men to coddle and protect you which makes it harder to grow and advance in a community so you have to work extra hard to earn the true respect.
At the same time the ever present hunt for the true females and the witch hunt for the "fake" ones endanger your gender identity further because showing any sort of personal fortitude, strength or independence will have people pounce on you and accuse you of being male. On top of that you can't really counter that by throwing your sex around at every corner because then you undermine your position further by looking like you want to draw attention to the fact that you are a woman when all you really want people to notice is what you're capable of.
So as a woman you're left to choose between being a giggling, smiley spamming moron. Having a posse of drooling idiots follow you around, making sexual innuendos at every turn.
or throwing away your gender identity and turning into Hillary Clinton in hopes of a chance to earn some respect based on your own merits and capabilities.
If there's some sort of middleground then I have yet to find it but it depends mainly on the people around you.
Being a woman is in no way a free ride nor does it afford you unwarranted benefits. You merely pay for short term rewards with your long term dignity. If you choose to sell it that is. We miss you Saede. |
