Well, I mean guys are just more reserved in their sexuality in front
of other guys, therefore even if the opportunity arose for a pc to
interact hetero or homo sexualy with a gm character, they'd be too
intimidated by the fact that they may do something and fail miserably
in front of all thier buddies. (at least this is what I've found)
Maybe I hang out with a wird bunch but all the girls I know are very
secure in thier sexuality and say things like "you think this 'll get
the guy's attention?" (referring to a low cut blouse or slit in the
skirt) Where as guys I know try to avoid anything like that.
So...even if sexism is dead in SR, there are still psychological
issues in the actual players themselves that make women more suited to
play these parts.
