Forum:Sexism in the arena?

Hi, i made a female allied with caesar and i was wondering if i can fight in the arena and if so how?

When i talk to the arena master he just makes a sexist remark.

Others are also reporting that you can't fight there as a female. But... you didn't expect the Legion to be based on politically correct postmodern principles did you? Zhukov 21:46, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Even if you are female when you talk to Benny about deciding his fate one option is to fight it out in the Arena. Does Caesar make an exception for that or is it a dialog path that shouldn't actually be available for female Couriers?

But... Why would you be a female allied with caser in the first place?

You go for Caesar as a female because the irony is fun. --84.107.237.157 14:17, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah i did the same thing - female character with high STR and END and really low CHR, allied with cesar and with the cannibal perk :D

Actually, that was the most awkward idea for me, was the prospect of a female courier joining the Legion. It makes no sense at all, but if you understand anything about Hegelian philosophy, the one that Caesar follows, part of the teaching is that universe can only be understood in contradictions (This philosophy is absolutely ridiculous, I know. It contradicts itself in many places, but there is a reason that most of the Nazi thinkers were followers of Hegel), and so we should not be bothered by the contradiction of a female protagonist fighting her heart out for misogynistic Legion that will probably enslave her when they win. Probably their idea of an honor for such a warrior would be giving her to Lucuis to be his wife, as opposed to Vulpes or Lanius or just a random legionaire. -WhiteKnightLeo
