A Woman in a Man's World

[Glamour Girl]

Really people? Some of you actually would have a problem losing to a female character?

This really shouldn't even be a bigass debate really.

If Female wrestler X is doing quality promos, arguably 1 of the better characters and doing a hell of a lot more hard work/outstanding promos then Male wrestler Y why in the hell wouldn't she be beating characters that aren't as good? Why wouldn't she win big titles? Because you suffer from the sin of Pride too much? For shame.

I'm 100% for women beating VHX, even beating him for titles or making him tap out like a bitch. If you've earned it, you've earned it.

I really appreciate that Van . The whole e-fed experience is suppose to be about having fun and I feel sometimes people take it too seriously. In my opinion, the whole taboo of men hitting women comes from the general concept that women are not as strong as men and aren't able to defend themselves which makes it abuse, however, in the case of a woman who does not meet that criteria and is more than capable of defending herself then it's not abuse at all, specially in a wrestling scenario. I once again stress the fact that there aren't many women in e-fedding and even the guys with female characters rarely do IC'ing as their female characters which in turn leaves the rare female e-fedder unable to contribute much to the IC'ing as she has nobody to do it with. That hasn't been an issue for me when I've played as Athena as my "target audience" has changed and become wider.

No, no you've missed the point man. If you read the thread that's not the problem that some people here have. It's the problem of them literally hitting a woman. They don't want to be seen/portrayed as someone who is, what we in the UK would call, a 'wife/woman beater', since their character is essentially themselves.
It's nothing to do with losing to a woman I don't think. Anyone who's thinking like that is simply sexist, but again, from what we've gathered from this thread, that isn't the problem here.

I have no problem letting TDA fight women. It would just be the first time he wrestled them without making them assume the missionary position (JK). But I seriously have no problem with it. There's so many logical ways for Athena to get a victory over a male or for a male to score a victory over her. Sure it could bruise some egos but I think she would be an equal match for Heavyweights and Light Heavyweights. Super Heavyweights might be a little bit of a match, but I think Athena has no limits nor should anyone limit themselves in an efed. Simply put~

I agree her odds of beating super heavyweights aren't good, but would they really be worse than the odds of someone like Chavo or Rey or Evan Bourne beating a super heavyweight? Most of the times those characters will lose to a super heavyweight and that wouldn't make me cry if the same happened to Athena so it's not like I'm expecting to win every match, but on rare occasions smaller characters have managed to beat a bigger one maybe through the use of a weapon, interference or plain luck so the same could apply to her.

It's a kind of both factor actually. You've probably seen more people before I started who would take losing to a female wrestler incredibly badly.

I don't really see how that can be a massive factor either honestly since we're not actually fighting each other. I can see what you're saying but this' EFedding. It's not real so we're not hitting any women and they're not doing the other domestic violence of beating up men.

I also don't really see any of us reading a scene were a female wrestlers beating down by people and think "OH COOL. IMMA TRY THIS IN REAL LIFE! HUEHUEHUEHUE!"

I agree again Van. Did anyone who saw Chyna wrestling guys back in the day or Jacqueline when she faced Chavo Guerrero or Lita and Trish vs Jericho and Christian feel they were being abused? Granted Lita and Trish can't hold their own against a man so it's not a fair fight and Jackie's small, but strong and very skilled so it wasn't that uneven, but still Chyna faced men most of her career and many men loved seeing her and were fans of hers. They didn't watch Chyna wrestle and win or lose and think she was the victim of abuse I assume.

[The Tyndall Effect]

I really like the feud between Athena and Damian- mainly because my role as Damian is a gay guy- it proves for entertainment.

Beyond that, I have enjoyed the man-esque women in wrestling for the most part- namely Chyna and a some of Beth's work. It worked for them, so it should work in an e-fed for Athena.

But yeah, I feel fine using Damian against Athena, and I found it hilarious in a way that Whiz lost to her.

A Woman in a Man's World will work Glamour Girl and can be successful in the efeds.... Tyndall is here, and it has worked beautifully....
