So what happens when the opponents are gay men? :)

Or maybe they'd all find her a lot sooner...

One thing a character in my now-defunct SR PBEM did was wear her hair
piled up on top of her head, and hide a small pistol in it. I have no idea
if it's really possible (or if it could have been gotten out fast without
her tearing out most of her hair) but it sounded like a good idea.

Sitting on a chair in front of a computer in a heated room, with my feet
resting against SR books, actually :)

I forgot to add that they also hardly ever pick up weapons of dead
enemies unless they _really_ need one.

Almost just as bad, IMO, is when the female star finally does kick some
bad guy's ass, and it gets shown as if it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing
that must be paid special attention to (often followed by a comment from
some other character about what just happened).
