Has somebody already mentioned that "witchcraft" is a feminine term, discriminating male sorcerers? The stem for the term is cleary "witch" which is a 100% female profession although the job can be done by both sexes (males would call themselves just sorcerers or wizards)...

Better that, than crazy bigots with a chip on their shoulder.

Ignorance is never an excuse, someone said. If you don't know what "man-at-arms" means, please avoid all the racist thing... soldier, knight are not racist words!
Please study some history, be honest and avoid such futile arguments.

Mr C's fight for feminists everywhere is disappointing, it's as bad as anyone who says "herstory". (I will admit I've never seen anyone complain about the word THIS having his is in and demand we use THER instead).

I think a more important argument would be why is there just man-at-arms for Str users instead of two categories, while dex has 2 and int chars get to pick from 5.

But no, I guess some would rather focus on silliness to make no point.

You progressives are intellectual degenerates. It's disgusting.

I like to think of them as regressives.

That person is not a progressive, just a brainwashed idiot.

If you go look deep into feminism nowadays, it's full of ignorant people, even men, that not only say (indirectly) that women should be MORE than men, but also thinks ANYTHING that seems to exclude women in any shape or form, like "man-at-arms", is some kind of terrible crime.

I applaud the joke "go back to the kitchen" in this situation, because ridiculousness should be met with ridicule.
I also defend what "feminism" should stand for, gender equality, not forgetting that men and women are a little different by nature, so it's more about equal opportunities.

call it "Fighterperson"

that should solve everything

the obvious thing everyone is overlooking here is that even "woman" ends in "man". The etymology for the root "man" meaning human.

idiots.

Mr C. is a troll, no doubt about it... though maybe a Ms troll.

If that's not the case, then you are waaaaay to deep in political correctness - and ANY fantasy setting will be too much of a conservative, noma'am, racist and homophobic experience for him (or her).

First of all, not being able to accept that most jobs (as man @ arms is) have a unique male term (with exceptions like a midwive), is just pure pointless rage meant to "spice up" a forum.

Second, fantasy settings always portray elves as gay, dwarves as drunk, orcs as violent... granted, exceptions exist, but that's how things work.

Now that I have enlightened the genre to this troll, we can just wait untill he (or she) turns to stone.

Actually, this game is very progressive.

There's a gay orc/human male couple..

Trolls be trollin'. BTW, there are male witches. According to Wicca (at least as far as I know), a witch of either sex employs his or her powers for good, whereas a warlock is a renegade witch who dabbles in darker matters. And likewise, a warlock can be a man or a woman.

But since we are on the topic of sexism and social justice (because you can't swing a dead rat without hitting a social justice warrior nowadays), here's one for you. Bare midriffs on girls were considered sexist in the final revision of DOS, so they got covered up. Fine. At the same time, all women in DOS, even when stripped naked, wear heels. Think about it, poor girls of Rivellon can't ever go barefoot (unless they are orcs of course), or wear sensible footwear.

Now, I'm pretty sure if you asked any woman involved in something even moderately physical whether she would prefer to do it with a bare midriff or in heels, she'd choose the bare midriff in a heartbeat. So chew on that, especially if you are a social justice warrior celebrating "armor equality" in DOS.

I'm gonna kill myself, but before that i will make an example of your post every i could find feminist forums and any other gaming forums i have been registered then i will make alot threads about it to laugh and pity.

Actually I prefer heels, though that might have something to do with not wanting everyone to see that I need to lose a few pounds.

Heh, fair enough

I am facepalming at the guys who react to that troll.

Are you man enough for a duell about it? ;-)

Stone, parchment, shears motherfucker, it's on!

Well, if he isn't, I am! Not that I'm a professional chef, but cookouts are fun - and delicious

Either this is a troll thread, and everyone is falling for the bait.
Or the OP was serious.

Either way, I've lost my faith in humanity.
