[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7734598, member: 6925649"] They are dragons, not human! I don't see why they should care whether a human is male or female, I don't suppose they mate with them do they? Can they transform into human form such as dragons from Dragonlance? Would a human care whether their dragon is male or female? Does it work the other way around? Any half-dragons in this setting? I agree with you, since they are of a different species, one would not expect them to care about the gender of humans, just like we don't care about the gender of lizards. That said, I would expect female dragons to be larger and more dangerous than male dragons, that is how it is with most reptiles. I suspect its just that the artists would rather draw female humans riding on dragons than male humans. I also wouldn't expect the Spaniards of the 1500s to send their women riding into battle on the backs of dragons. Spanish women of the 16th century just aren't that liberated, and if they are, then the culture of that time period isn't being accurately portrayed They can do that, but it loses some of the historical dimension it would otherwise have. I don't know that much about Aztec culture, I suspect its rather male dominated too, most native American cultures are. Some tribes had female chieftains, but I don't believe the Aztecs were of that sort, but correct me if I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
