That is all I was asking for. Someone asked me for my input as to what I liked in a game. I told them. Suddenly, half a dozen males start screaming, "Are you asking for genderless bookstores, a genderless society? Are we going to allow ourselves to be neutered just because there are a few outspoken women in the forum." I watched all of this scrolling up my screen, and mused in amazement. My God, and they say WOMEN get over-emotional about issues! And the one comment about "favorable raping" was a bit much. C'mon. But rather than sit and debate about such things in this forum, let's \ just get back to the issue at hand, shall we?
