Especially when used a way thats halfway believable like it was done in Dragon Age Origins (and NOT in Dragon Age 2) Indeed either an impressive Troll or a woman who puts herself lower than she should be out of some irrational fear that if men and women would be treated equally then suddenly women would loose their alleged sexual power over us…

You should probably read the name of the poster - Daniel. That would be me. I'm reasonably sure that I'm a male. 2. Your dramatic over-generalizations more or less support one of the ideas I was going for, so thanks for that. If this was a troll, then lulz to you, sir.

You REALLY need to get a life girl. You act as if men just recently started viewing women as sexual objects or something?! Men have been doing this for centuries - BEFORE feminism and BEFORE men and women even knew anything about each other. Men dominate women physically and often mentally (probably because men don't allow emotions to override their brain like we often tend to do or look too deep into issues that can't be controlled through social experiments). Face it, you're a woman and so am I and men want us for sex! Women aren't nearly as sex starved as men tend to be but should we be punishing men for this? Of course not. That's their weakness! Could you imagine how awful it must be to constantly think about needing an orgasm? That must be Hell for men! It's like a lifetime of torture and depending on a woman to give you what you need. If you were a man you'd be drooling all over women too and doing anything and everything you could do to "get your rocks off" for a moment of peace. I feel bad for men and understand that my place in life it to serve men just as men are to serve Christ. We were put here by God as a give to Adam. Not the other way around! It's obvious that our duty as women is to stand by our man and to be the gift to our man that God intended us to be. You sound like a whiny brat that hates being a woman because in your opinion men are given everything! Well tell me this - If men are given EVERYTHING then why are they turning to video games and pornography for self stimulation? That tells me that we, as women, aren't giving out nearly as much as we should be. We torture our men and then we punish them for being in pain. That's just horrible. Feminism at this point is a joke. I was all for women having the right to vote and work jobs but I'm not about to join up with today's feminism crowd that seems hell bent on punishing men for simply being what they are - MEN! I've seen enough hate coming from feminism today that it makes me sick to my stomach! I can't understand what the need is to depict men as being dumb in 99% of television sitcoms. Hasn't feminism just reversed the table here? Feminist used to complain that women were always depicted as "unknowing" and "dumb" in old television sitcoms (I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith, etc). Women complained so much about this they reversed it and now men are depicted as "unknowing" and "dumb". We never complain about THAT now do we? Of course not. We love to see the shoe on the other foot because that's what this is all about isn't it? Women reversing the tables and putting men in the place of women for a change. But why? Are men going to start popping out babies and breast feed? Nope. Are men going to start crying and telling us how fragile they are? Nope. Feminism today is pointless and it's embarrassing that women are still actively pushing these non-issues! Get a life and stop playing games if they make you feel so bad about yourself. I honestly LOVE to play those same games and I'm flattered that men find that naked form of women to be so appealing! God help us if they ever stopped finding us appealing. Imagine what kind of hellish nightmare life for women would be like then? I don't know about you, but I like having my man around because I sure as hell am not going to mow the grass and get all dirty! I like being clean and smelling good. I like staying home and raising the kids well my man is out PROVIDING for me and our kids. It makes him happy to be fulfilling his role as a provider and I am happy being the nurturer. And I have no problems with working and have done so many time in our marriage when we need the extra little things his paycheck couldn't afford. And he never gave me any grief about working or helping out that way either. You really need to get a man that's a real man and learn to love being a woman! WOW! You REALLY need to get a life girl.
