[QUOTE="Tiefling, post: 895163, member: 251"] By your examples of what constitutes "real world issues," i.e. politics and religion and so on, I'm not sure it's possible to have a remotely comprehensive world that doesn't. If by "extreme views on women" you mean extreme by today's standards (that is, second-class, subservient to men, incapable of performing traditionally male things) then virtually all societies are like that, with the exception of some tribal societies. If by "extreme views on women" you mean extreme by ancient standards (that is, completely worthless, possess no rights whatsoever, etc.) then no. There are no truly matriarchal societies either. All these things are like the real world, and I like my fantasy worlds to be like the real world unless there's a magical explanation why it acts differently. Of course. I can't think of any real-world major religions that haven't done so. Of course. There would be no such thing as conflict if people weren't looking out for their own interests. [/QUOTE]
