What do you think of NS's mainly male population?

[Luveria]

Yes we do need more agender/gendeerqueer/androgyne/transgender/bigender/trigender people here too. Diversity is the spice of life. More females would help diversity too.

I'm more keen on having it reflect the actual population at least slightly TBH. I'm not saying we should go and kick out the current [prefix]gender folks, but, honestly, that's one group that the internet doesn't need any more of.

I think there are almost as many MtF transsexuals here as there are cisgender females. People are entitled to both use this site freely and consider themselves whatever gender they want... but come on, internet!.

Do you have statistics on what the actual gender diversity of the population is?

What does it matter what someone's gender is? That kind of attitude just makes people feel uncomfortable that they don't conform to the gender binary.

Stop posting quick or we'll go beyond our quota.

Couldn't care less. It'd be great if there were more gender equality in terms of active posters here, but ultimately, NS is a political simulation "game" and roleplaying simulation thing, not a dating site. I'd only consider by nation - who I'm RPing with, and not who the person behind the nation is.

I'm a member of the majority here btw.

[Kaamnaayein]

Thank you for proving our point.

Lewis's law (that I slightly adjusted): comments on a thread about feminism (or a similar tangent) will justify the need for feminism.

I read all 26 pages, and the above is my favorite post.

To address the OP: I find myself being torn between saying "my gender and sex are completely irrelevant to the accuracy of the posts I make" and "anyone who says the stuff in the first quote I just posted are ignoring the fact that women are under-represented on these forums".

[Mkuki]

I don't care, really. For me everyone is male until proven otherwise.

[SaintB]

I'm neutral to it but it does not mean I wouldn't mind seeing more female or trans people joining the site.

But I don't have labour quotas anymore.

Oh how wrong you are.

Do you expect them to prove it to you by showing you their little bits? Sex and gender are different things so even if you had photographic visual evidence it wouldn't indicate anything.

True neutral would be having no opinion and not leaning either way. By trans people do you mean only MtFs since you mention more females?

[Harkonna]

Except that they don't (and I can't believe nobody else pointed out that this is wrong). Financially, divorce is often detrimental to women. It's getting better, but only because the income divide is getting smaller.

You guys either had parents with highly unusual circumstances or perhaps not since later California refers to living next to a crack house with his mom afterwards... so I'm going to go with skewed perspective on this one.

No individual is ENTITLED to have the same quality of life that they had when another was willingly sharing their own income with them, and has since rescinded it. If divorce is so detrimental to women, either don't get divorced, or don't get married. Getting on by your own power is more telling of personal strength and integrity anyway.

[Immoren]

I don't think of it.

You're aware that I was responding to people who claimed that women make out like bandits after a divorce, right? So I was just pointing out that this is generally not the case.


How about you learn to read before you talk to me.

I'd much rather spout obtuse levels of snark at you until you explode. That seems to be my strong point.

No need to get all weird and defensive. It's a simple process, really. When a user says whether they are male or female or whatever else then I'll address them as such with the appropriate pronoun.

[The Grey Wolf]

I say I really, emphasis on the really, don't care.

Me too.
It'd be okay if there were more female and gender queer folk. Just doesn't matter.

That was supposed to be snark?

Really?

'Cause it just came off like you don't know how to read so you might want to work on that.

Well you come across like you're covered in foetid pile of dead skinks. So you should probably work on that. Right now.

[Olthar]

I'd like more womenz here. D:

Well, who wouldn't?

[Araraukar]

Ps dont tell me you ARE a "Nice dirty Girl/Tomboy" because if you do THEN I WILL KNOW that you are a 55yr old trucker pedophile, or some other Emo-Hipster-Tranny!

And if someone said they were "a 55yr old trucker pedophile"? Would you then believe they're a "Nice dirty Girl/Tomboy"?

No. Then they're clearly a burlap sack filled with old, rotten potatoes.

[Nua Corda]

I really couldn't care less about gender in general. People turn it into a bloody standard to wave everywhere, like it makes them ultra-special kawaii desu, when it's really pretty low on the list of relevant issues today. You got nuts? You got tits? Good for you. I don't give a shit, as long as you're a decent person.

That's probably flaming, but I'm too lazy to report it. Might want to take that back b4 someone else does.

[Araraukar]

By trans people do you mean only MtFs since you mention more females?

Well, FtMs would count as male, wouldn't they? Thus adding to the "mainly male population".

[Harkonna]

On a scale of one to awe, they're pretty awe, I must say. Subtlety is my strong suit, after all.
