Feminism and Gaming

[John V]

My wife has helped me to understand some of the aspects of modern feminism that eluded me before.

For example, with the idealized-body-type issue I mentioned, women are made to feel insecure about their bodies in our society. As a man, I don't mind the idealized-body-type in fantasy. Even when I was young and if I'd worked out constantly, I could never have developed the kind of body that men typically have in epic fantasy, superhero or other settings. That's OK because it's fantasy. I feel no sense that I'm supposed to live up to that standard.

c so women feel at ease with their own bodies vs. the fantasy world and not feeling like it's a standard they have to live up to? As in, "yeah, my character has big tits, long lean legs and 2% body fat but who cares, it's just fantasy."?

^ This question is directed particularly to the ladies on this forum.

Wow, you don't see how sexist you are, do you?

Regarding men: "Sorry but that's not ever going to change. Get over it."

Regarding women: "Is there a way we can change things..."

If men can excuse behaviors by just saying Sorry, get over it, then so can women.
