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~

I'm female. And very proud to be female, too! Though each time I do a test to see if my brain is male or female, I always score around 80% male and 20% female. (I love rules and the colour brown, I can't multi-task and hate shopping for shoes, I think most people are prettier without make-up, I STRONGLY LOATHE CHICK-FLICKS AND CHICK-LIT!!!, I love sci-fi, etc. etc.) Currently, I tend to play more male characters, while I actually only played female characters when I started out with RP.

Chick flicks and chick lit hurt my soul. Twilight broke what little soul I had left though. I also hate Romantic Comedies and the new type of Sci-Fi movies that try to have a ~~deep meaning~~ in them. I want my old cheesy made for tv sci-fi back T___________________T

Anyway thank you!
