[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 7173823, member: 82779"] Because emotions are so important to us, we tend to pay more attention to them, and we tend to be better at picking up on the cues people give off when they aren't hiding their emotions well. Assuming that I were inclined to have sex-based attribute modifications (where there is no bizarrely extreme sexual dimorphism) and I were choosing from the two options you provided, I would pick the second one. Here is why: 1) It treats the genders equally by giving each a penalty and a bonus. 2) It doesn't enshrine maleness as the default by forcing all of the modifiers (regardless of there being a mix of bonuses and penalties) on the females. Also, I will add that even the option you gave that I find less favorable is WAY ahead of the old rule that did nothing but penalize one gender and not affect the other. [/QUOTE]
