Tropes vs Women in Video Gaming - Damsel in Distress

Which is precisely why, immediately before it and in relation to kids' toys, I said this:
It also supports the masculine stereotype for men, which essentially denies them access to these more "caring" and "cooperative" and "interpersonal" interests.

That's why I don't just support altering the female stereotype; I fully support altering the one available to men as well. I like it when the men in my life show emotions, and I like it when they talk about their problems rather than keeping them buried inside. Why? Because it tells me a lot about them ranging from who they are to how much they trust me, which then furthers our relationship on an entirely different level. I feel that way with every friend of mine; if you feel you have to hide yourself from me, I'm doing something wrong.

ok, coolios, just pointing out (what i'm sure it's obvious, but still) right now, but meh, that last line, it's not necesarily you who is doing something wrong :U

PD: how long are you gonna stay an electron? dammit!

edit: @above: yup, i understand you're not arguing against me there, and what you said is entirely my point too.
