I disagree, still. You're still making it seem like you're talking specifically about men and women when you're saying masculine and feminine. It's not masculine to be competitive or have pride, and it's not feminine to be organized and clean. That's like lumping people solely in one or the other - which is not what it is in most cases. Most if not all men have many "feminine" characteristics, and many if not all women have "masculine" characteristics... so that doesn't really work. Even if you consider their dominant traits relevant to sex.

I think that's actually what WitchOnARampage was getting at.

The approach of grouping characteristics toward the masculine or the feminine is as ancient as the concept of Yin/Yang. It is this system of thinking that I'm drawing on. We each have many characteristics, some Yin, some Yang.
It helps us to understand people as complex beings, not just single-layer objects we can put into boxes on the basis of something as binary as being male or female.

Because mankind likes to over-specify everything and be completely organized, although we all know how well that works.
Yeah, regardless, feminism is ridiculous. This thread is really a moot point, because all it is, is opinion. Everyone has one and they are all different. I don't believe I give one single care about sexism in video games as a female gamer. And the only people that do are those who just want something to whine about, and don't actually play games. (like that broad generalization). FACTS.
