Gender and Character Traits (m)

[Arbiter of Wyrms]

Okay, ENWorlders, I need help only you can provide.

I'm doing a paper on gender stereotypes in D&D archetypes, and I need your opinions on the following question. There are no right or wrong answers, just your opinions.

What traits from the list are most masculine?

Also, please complete the accompanying poll at: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=129940

Thanks everybody! I rave about you all the time.

I find the lack of a list in this conext to be oddly emasculating.

I can only type so fast BG. Thanks for noticing the shortcoming.

Other, as in none.

Odd, I did not see a gender bias in any of them... I will look again later, maybe I will feel more manly then.

The Auld Grump, why do I have this sudden craving for quiche?

You were without a tinfoil hat, again, weren't you? The martians were just waiting for their chance, you know. If we're lucky, THEY are not the cause of your diswontful craving and life as we know it may be safe. But that's just empty hope speakin'.

I voted Other. I frankly don't see any 'masculine' traits in the list or any masculine stereotypes.

Color me 'gender neutral' in my viewpoint concerning the list of traits.

As I posted on the other thread - I'm with BlackMoria. I don't see any of the qualities listed above as inherently masculine or feminine.

I'll join the chorus.

I personally think the question is sexist.
