I'll try to not overdo it![sblock]To put it another way, we're looking at one sexually-discriminating race among one. How many strictly patriarchal societies are there? None, even the dwarves aren't described as being such. All races have kings and queens, high priests and high priestesses, and so on. Except the drows. The fact that they discriminate to the detriment of males is a red-herring -- the real point is that they discriminate, period.It reminds me of the Englishman that arrives at Calais, and the trainstation is nearly desert. The only persons he sees are two red-haired women, probably sisters, chatting together in French. Our Englishman draws the logical conclusion: "All French women are redhead."[sblock][spoiler]Am I a bad person for wishing it was true?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> [/spoiler][/sblock]That's for the dryad & nymph joke, heh?

Their alignment is the same as humans' own one. Likewise for the ugly locathah, and the creepy aranea.
