I couldn't have said it better. Even though I believe most people are happiest in what we think of as normal gender roles, I also hold that people should be free to pursue things as they desire. Plus, the strength differences between men and women matter much less in combat when power armor comes into play. Well, when power armor comes into play, unless you have a bigger gun or similer armor, you should probably just run. And, personally, I don't think I'd spend much time trying to decifer my power-armored attackers gender while running. So, yeah, power-armor works pretty well. Quick, someone call Microsoft and the Government! I know how to beat terrorism!

Nothing is wrong with them wanting to do that. If they want to stay home, fine! But why do they have to do that? That's all I don't get from what you've said so far. And why bring up feminism? I hate modern feminism. They want men to be like women were in the nineteenth century. If you're a white, heterosexual male then they want you to die, or at the very least live in a constant form of anguish and self-loathing. Modern feminists are horrible, in my humble opinion. Yes, and that is bad. But thats bad on society for thinking that, not bad on women for getting the same scar. If anything that just shows how much our society is flawed and needs to change into a more accepting one, based less on pysical appearances. Not that women should be treated like cattle like they used to be.

This is probably his reasoning. From a divorce lawyer quoted in that article: Politically arranged marriages occurred in the European monarchies well into the twentieth century. As a way of cementing alliances, it's a fairly good one, going back to at least the Romans (see Gaius Julius Caesar marrying off his daughter Julia to Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus), and worked OK most of the time. The couple liking each other would just be a bonus. Then again, I have very strong monarchist sympathies. Warrior princess would be referring to Xena. I've never met a person who still thinks that the male should be providing for and protect the female. Infact, if you go up to most people on the street and ask "Should the male have to take care of the female?" even rapist scum douchebags would go "No, women are fully capable of taking care of themselves. They do not need to be taken care of.".

I think at this point Gloria Steinem is trying to choke herself to death. I may have to send her a note of explanation and apology after this. Neither person has to be in charge. Coming from a Homosexual male, I may not have the experience with heterosexual couples others do. But in each relationship most of my older friends have had, gay or straight, they have all been perfectly fine with both being equal, or not caring where the money comes from so long as they have it. Also, your understanding of how the Brotherhood works is kinda limited. The Citadel is a fortress, not a castle. Lyons is the highest ranking officer, not a king. And even Lyons, according to the Codex, would have to answer to the High Elder, which would presumably be a Maxon descendent. Fallout is set in a Post-Apocolyptic world, and apart from a few Raider gangs, and the local wild life, modern society is still ingrained. Even in reality, most average people would be unable to do what it takes to survive because of modern society. Kill? Could you blankly gun down another human in cold blood? Steal? Eat rotten, moldy, or stale foods? Also, take a look at the different cities in Fallout. Junktown: Mayor. Making it a form of consense that he should represent the town. The Hub: Mob Rule. Multiple trading caravans have a council to determine the fate of the city. New Reno: Mob Rule. Virtually the same as Vegas, just with no House. Megaton: Sherrif and Moriarty. They fight eachother constantly, but Moriarty keeps the Town in caps, and Simms keeps it safe. Rivet City: Council. Each of the parts of the city has a representitive: Civilian, Gaurd, Science. Science and Military have the highest ranking officer represent them, just like modern day America. The President is Commander-in-Cheif, we have a scientific board, and Congress represents the civilian sector. And, again, all built with the ingrained modern society values. Actually, the Brotherhood promotes the same as a modern military, based on merits. If you've killed two hundred Super-Mutants, and are currently a Knight, then you'd be promoted to Knight-Captain.

Somewhere, Gloria Steinem is crying and she doesn't know why. "Taming her?" Why does the man have to "wear the pants"? Why can't Sarah be an equal in the relationship? Also, using a vanilla character would be near impossible since no voice would be available. It would have to be MZC. And a "political marriage" would make sense... in the middle ages. Not the far off future. Also, "warrior princess"?

Yes, that is true. Fallout does have modern morals in mind, but I feel like so far, Nylon has stuck pretty closely to the Fallout lore. And, you could kill kids in the original two Fallouts. People always seem to forget about that. And, It seemed like Korosawa was very flirty with the Commander, and them having a great connection. They just seemed to click. Also, the Commanders personality changes per player, making it difficult for everyone to be pleased. The only way to do that would be by making it multi-choice. Some people might prefer Korosawa, some Tanaka, no Sally. That's just wrong.

I think a big problem is that nobody reads the terms and conditions. Really, how many people ACTUALLY read those? Still the users fault, but that is probably the issue with the "I didn't know".

Yes, but looking at the Fallout lore, we see that sex discrimination is very low. In the Fallout lore, you can see very little sexism coming from anywhere. At least, I've never seen any sexism in Fallout.

Haha, Thats why I said wait till she grows up, unless your playing a lolicon. I still don't understand why she has a sun burn when she's been on ship for 200 hundred years! That's a good idea about Maxson, I had forgotten all about him. Whatever romance happens needs to seem natural and not like Skyrim where you can be married without romancsing your wife/husband.. I still say Kurosawa is not a good fit, the Commander needs someone who wants to be a homebody. Someone who loves kids and does not mind doing most of it alone since you will be so biz with work and yet will be loving and supportive. Well, that's just heart warming! It warms the pits of my tiny, blackened heart! Honestly, as far as Fallout-lore goes, yes and no. In the fifties, high ranking officers were expected to have a wife for social events. Parties, media, etc. But after the bombs fell, all sex discrimination would have dwindled in favor of survival. Which would be more important: image, or life? I choose living, thanks! So, a homebody romance could be a yay/nay situation.

I had to change my vote. I would definitely like a TSC romance, and Kurosawa seems natural for a male Commander. Tercorian, the frozen soldier, also seems natural for a female Commander.

Perhaps you could add Homosexual options for the "boys who like joysticks, and the girls who like D-Pads"? As an optional file maybe? Just a nice touch, since New Vegas had the optional straight or gay perks. Just a thought.
