[QUOTE="generic, post: 7871718, member: 6923088"] I have no problem with your posts, but, I guess I just don't understand why they're relevant. At all. I'm playing D&D, I want my character to be "not like other people". Who wants to play the everyday Phineas Dirt-Farmer, when you could play a knight? And, who wants to play Agatha the old maid who lives on a farmstead when you could play the warrior-priestess Avacycla? What exactly do any of these reproductive statistics (yes, I do concede that they have some basis in fact) have to do with representation in D&D? Were there fewer female soldiers in most historical cultures? Yep, absolutely. Does that have any influence on my D&D (or even, my historical RPG) game? Nope. Generally, you don't play as the median character, you play as someone extraordinary. [/QUOTE]
