Question

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

‘Ello Poly~ I’m currently in sociology in college and we need to write a few small papers for extra credit points. One of the subjects mentioned were gender stereotypes, such as girls don’t play video games or boys don’t play with dolls, the stereotype of what society views should happen. I’d like to write about RP’ing, I’ve found that generally (at least with RL people I know) RP is thought to be a “guys” thing.

So I need some basis of statistics to go off of, so if you don’t mind can you please leave a comment with your gender?

To be clear this is optional, it’s not a huge deal as I don’t need the extra credit to pass or event get a great grade, you’re lj name will not be mentioned, your online name/real name won’t be, and where I got the info won’t be mentioned. Basically all I need is a number in real life to go off of, the number won’t event be mentioned. I just need to know which side to go with, if it’s completely absurd to think that girls don’t rp (which is what I think XD) or if it’s fairly accurate.

If you’re not comfortable with telling your gender, don’t worry about it! The last thing I want is anyone to feel uncomfortable so don’t feel like you have to!

Thanks for reading~

Could be. I generally talk mostly to people who are themselves fairly geeky, so my perceptions may be are probably skewed.

And hey, what's wrong with being obsessed with shopping? =P

You're lucky T__T I haven't been able to meet any other geeky minded people like me. Woes me

Hahaha nothing really, unless you let it become your main interest or unless you have OCD and end up spending every penny you have and some you don't, but there's nothing wrong with liking shopping and stuff.

I should have elaborated: only three of them go to my school. Everyone else I've either known for years or met online.

Oh man I probably like it more than is healthy for me or my wallet.
