UO is sexist.

So is it sexist to males or females?
Depends on your point of view. And the perception of the viewer. I can see things being very sexist in both directions.... Though I think it leans more towards being slightly more in favor of females than males...... though when it comes to arms and armor and of course the paperdolls males get the shaft.

Females are only get shorted by the lack of representation in all races and by the hideousness of the wraith form with necromancy which in my opinion doesn't look so much like a banshee as it does frankenstiens bride....

Males on the other hand lose out on the clothing front, especially since while females can where armor under those skirts males can NOT wear pants over or under their armor... a slight that I think needs to be fixed.... they also have the most hideously ugly paperdoll in KR..... words can't begin to describe how ugly it is... as well yes they do get left out armor wise but really females don't get more armor they just get more choices. I wouldn't be against male only armor... isn't that big of deal as long as they keep things "even".

Which is hardly as gamebreaking as not being able to do an imp spawn on your dexxer unless you carry 15 polymorph scrolls and + mage gear... Or not being able to wear every type of armour.

How can you discriminate against all parties? You can't. Having everything the same is boring. Gender is one way to help define different aspects of a game. People are trying to find something that isn't there.

UO has always been sexist...... You ever notice how 90% of the creatures of UO have only one sex..... Male.... Do you see any female Orcs?, Trolls?, Ogres??? Where are all the females?
Good point! It would be really neat to see them add more females of other creatures.
