People like you forget that the vast majority of men have never participated in war. Most men, like women, subsisted on manual labor.
Your ‘sexual dimorphism’ claims are a tale as old as time made by prejudiced anthropologists with the same pompous attitudes about gender. See this NPR article to get your facts straight.
None of this changes the fact that we are taking about fantasy, where female representation is deemed more far fetched by misogynists than the existence of elves and magic. Something that has literally never existed before somehow has more credibility and reason to exist than female combatants who have actually existed.
This is the state of gatekeeping in the fantasy genre. If you think that there isn’t a problem, you are part of the problem.
Yes, you’re very angry.
Reminder: Be civil. Less politics if you can’t be civil, (no politics is probably a stretch).

Goading people is incivil as well. And the comment you are incessantly discussing has been dealt with.
At no point did I call him a pedophile.
Feel free to make up other shit while you’re at it.
I said the words ‘I am not a pedophile.’ because I was being accused of ‘getting on’ on with children.
What’s going on now?
He said, ‘I’m sure we’d get on in person’. You clarified that you were calling him a child in a roundabout way.

You can block them on their profile on desktop at least, and probably elsewhere too.
You seem to have replied to me by the way. I hope I haven’t been ranting.

Her comments are interesting, you should check out the mens liberation stuff. But that pedo comment was easily misconstrued, and she’s been very defensive. She probably doesn’t meet many people like feedum who have an interest in ‘female spaces’, ‘historically accurate’ females and are snarky, since those topics are generally politically anti-feminist.
I’m happy to ban people who break the rules too often, but I’d much prefer to have open discussion where everybody learns something or is entertained. The problem is finding the balance between toxicity and rule breaking versus the good stuff.
I strongly feel I’m being the civil one here.
You say, while graciously making sexist comments.
I’m sorry my words have upset you. We have a slight difference of opinion on something, and that’s okay. I don’t feel it would be productive to continue the discussion, but wish you the best in life nonetheless.
It’s not clear what you’re apologizing for. I do like how sexism has been reduced to ‘a slight difference of opinion’ now.
Funny how the discussion was considered productive when your response was ‘Yes, you’re very angry’, and no longer productive when the misogyny was pointed out.
Calm down buddy your misogyny is showing.
Well, I’m sure we’d get on in person.

^Gaslight, control, dismiss, invalidate. Classic misogynist behavior.

Tone policing. It’s not aggressive to make sexist claims. It’s only aggressive to point them out.

Can you point to the part where I called him a pedophile?
All I said was that I don’t date children.
Looks like he gets a free pass for sexism. Lemmy and it’s 77% male userbase at its finest.
