What are the Female to Male demographics of this board?
![wariisop](https://forums.beamdog.com/uploads/userpics/294/nCLAR2VPTIK6X.jpg)
One thing I noticed in Baldur's Gate I was that the sidequests for the male NPC's was always longer and more involved. Most of the time, females just had to be recused i.e.; Viconia, Skie, and Dynaheir just to name a few. While truly unique characters like Alora, Branwen, and my favorite Safana get half-assed fetch quests at best. Considering many of these characters have great personalities, it would be good to expand on their struggles before meeting you instead of ignoring female NPCs.

I just noticed that you made this poll pink for boys and blue for girls. Is this a subtle attempt at subverting gender stereotypes?
I have no idea what this site's statistics are though.
Now to symbolically link that conclusion to sexism...
Just check out how many males to how many females have given a score to ANY film on IMDB particularly the "girly" ones, males are in the vast majority. I don't think we have the idea that far more men watch films than women do, but it seems likely that we (assuming the majority) are more likely to waste time on the internet, looking at forums and voting in polls, than women are.
Meanwhile, a female Grey Warden in "Dragon Age" can wear plate armor and swing a broadsword just like anybody else.
In Dragon Age Origins, you have exactly 0 female companions that are ready for front line combat on the get go - it would take heavy intervention on your part to develop either Leliana or Wynne into melee fighters while Morrigan's melee is of the Shapeshifter quality. Dragon Age 2 added 2 females.
Unless you're counting the Golem.
Right because it makes so much more sense to have a skinny girl in plate armor. Clearly the system has improved.
Hell, aren't female Drow supposed to have better physical stats than the males?
Shar-Teel DosanEdit
Jennifer Darling
Human, Fighter, Chaotic Evil.
Shar-Teel is an amazonian warrior woman who enjoys humiliating male adventurers by challenging them to duels and soundly thrashing them. If she is defeated in a duel by a male member of the player's party, she is impressed and grudgingly pledges to join the group. Extremely aggressive and bloodthirsty, Shar-Teel has a strong hatred of members of the opposite sex, and the Flaming Fist mercenary company in particular (although oddly, she's considerably less violent than many other evil travelling adventurers, seeing as how she doesn't attack the party on sight and even compliments the group if it is an all-female party). At the very end of the game, it is revealed that Shar-Teel is the daughter of Angelo Dosan, a lieutenant in the Flaming Fist who is also secretly in the employ of Sarevok.
