Hmp! that makes me sorta mad.... not at you! but at the way this world works. i agree. why can girls wear jeans and stuff but guys can wear dresses? but admit it, women have been treated terribly untill only a few years ago when women fought for womens rights. untill then women were just usless sex objects. i'm a tomboy and that really really offends me. and more than ever, this year it has been bothering me really bad because of my shovanistic teacher. GOD I HATE HIM SO MUCH! sorry about that. anyway i understand you not wanting to be a girl but i play as a guy in a lot of games(cuz you cant be a girl) and that doesn't bother me nor does it make me a lesbian. but i cant wait to get HM for girls! Well, I think that view is as wild as the viewpoint of anyone who treats woman as "useless sex objects." Admitedly, there were some men who treat woman like that. But not many. There was a variance between relationships, even as there is now. Don't blame the world for the actions of a few. You say you're a tomboy, well, I'm effeminate. Doesn't make me gay. After all, Aubree and I will have to firmly rewrite any ideas about me being effeminate meaning that I'm gay. Unfortunately, nothing I will say will change your viewpoint. As they say, the 70s will always be remembered for the hippies (even though hippies were such an absurdly small minority). There aren't very many male chavanists out there anymore (and always remember to add the word "male" before chavanist, because chavanist itself just means a very patriotic person, but a male chavanist is one who parades the granduor of men). *shrugs* I see no reason why woman shouldn't have complete equality. But I also can't see any reason anyone would want to abandon childcare to join the workforce. I personally think that was one of the most idiotic points of the feminist movement. I am proud, as a man, to assume responsibilty as a househusband while my wife goes to earn the bread as a surgeon. Once our children are old enough, I will re-enter the work force as a elementary-school teacher. I will be able to thus always be there for my children, leaving work as they leave school, so they are never without at least one parent if they need us. So there. ... Uh, what point was I trying to prove again?

I would lock this now that the game is out, but off-topicness once again proves to be an interesting conversation.
I have to agree with all the points though. The only people who don't deserve equality are the ones who ruin our world.
