other times we see ourselves from other perspectives.
This!
And again it comes from a woman =))
That is what I have been waiting for! Why don't men that chooses to play as a female characters state this! There is male and female sides in every human being, and by playing a female character do you try to reach those deeeeeep buried female side in yourself? And if the answer is yes, why are you ashamed to say it?
Disclaimer: I am not a psycologist, biologist or any kind of a sociologist, so all that follows may be completely wrong.
I think that almost through all the human history women were regarded as a fair sex or as a weaker half of the mankind. That changed only recently through the 20th century so that now, men and women are viewed to be equal. However, I think that deep in our subconciousness we are still held back by those very old perceptions that women are weaker than men. So, maybe men are ashamed to admit that they want to experience their female side because by saying it they would admit to a weakness?
