I've favorited Artemisia and will check back diligently to see what you two have to say. <BR/><BR/>Yours - whitemuninAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838120086375850223.post-49019243977729254222009-03-24T21:58:00.000-07:002009-03-24T21:58:00.000-07:00I think what you look to do is really great.

They pretty much got the bad rap from bra burning hippies and, like any other theory that's been brought forward- fanatics. <BR/>But I digress. I notice the bias in many fantasy or sci-fi novels too. Automatically, the girl can kick ass- until a guy shows up, or she's the self-sacrificing virginal maiden. I mean, come on. <BR/>Equality in all media is needed and I for one commend you.

There was always only me in all the courses I took, and one of them turned out to be a bloodbath, quite frankly.<BR/><BR/>And, when I think back to the years when I used to watch my brother and his friends play RPG games, I think a lot of them had teams comprising mostly of women. Scantily dressed, big-breasted women, mind you. Although now I can remember a guy from high school who only chose female characters, because "others give me stuff and are nice to me when I'm a girl". Then again, this was also a guy who phoned me up, completely surprised, when he saw a girl playing CS... or in other words, he was a shallow jerk.jyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978444585822233819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838120086375850223.post-91433449958866129992009-03-18T07:54:00.000-07:002009-03-18T07:54:00.000-07:00I, for one, prefer the slightly-nerdy look or the ...I, for one, prefer the slightly-nerdy look or the cute look with realistic proportions in a game, and while I don't pick female characters in games that only give you one character (i.e. I'll put females in a party in an RPG but had all-male WoW characters), I want the option to always be there.<BR/><BR/>I didn't read your project but the art for it was fantastic. Hopefully the male bias in academia (is there one among the faculty?) didn't affect your grading, and ideally, some opinions were changed because of your work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
