   @Zerglingman @Morghur @PurpCat @theorytoe There was once a moment several years ago, when I was deep into The Long Dark (aka Siberia simulator). The game (outside the story mode) is basically surviving alone, starting on a random map, then travelling from there to other maps. You are surviving alone, there’s no other humans to interact with. Basically, the remarks of your character is all you ever hear except animals, birds, sticks cracking under your feet and then in the stove, howling of the wind and rattling of the windows. One time after some hundreds of hours I decided to play a male (why am I always playing a woman, anyway?) And this made me quickly realise, that I DON’T LIKE MALE *HUFF HUFF* *UUUGH!* DIRECTLY INTO MY EARS. Something felt really wrong and like a gay exhausted dude was following me.
   
   It was close to the feeling that I got at my first real job (in IT), where I was surrounded by people twice my age, they were almost no women, and those that were, were far from pretty. After the uni, where there often were girls around, it felt like I was sent to an island prison.
   
   So I’ve come to realise, that a normal male just needs a sense of womanhood around (as in soothing, admirable), otherwise it just doesn’t feel right. Being locked in a sausage company, even if it’s your peers, is depressing. A video game just provides means to bring that “womanhood” to your eyes and ears.
