Gender Diversity in the Forums

As we already know there are countless genders that people identify with. But on the call of war forums you are forced to choose between either male or female. I view this as a form of gender oppression, and we need to put a stop to it. It's 2016, and it's not ok to force people into your narrow world views. There needs to be more options for genders, but It's impossible to account for the endless gender identities that people might have. The best way to get around this is to allow people to manually input their genders by typing it in. If we all work together we can make this happen.

although I tentatively agree with you, I think labelling it oppression is a bit of a stretch. I seriously doubt that is the forums intention to oppress people by not including this, it is more likely a simple oversight

I agree that they don't intend to oppress, but negligence can have unintended consequences.

I would just like to point out that you can, as I have, simply select unspecified and just type an explanation section into your forum "about me".

Exactly. Completely stupid idea to give people the option to do what @GreatbigHippo says. Unnecessary work for mods.

No Pablo, I highly disagree. People should be able to express their gender in the way they want to make this forum as friendly and accepting as possible.

Well, we shall have to agree to disagree.

I try to have an open mind, but yea guys and gals, if you somehow identify with a gender, I am unfamiliar with, that is why we have unspecified

Ok, I see your point. We could maybe implement it for a bit of fun. Though I don't know what I'd put in mine, though.

Spaniard. I heard foreigners are all the same, so, yeah?

Well to be fair, there is male and female.. there are no other genders..

However as tankbuster made clear, tanks and helicopters are a superior gender in general,

F-14 Tomcat at heart, but, since they're collecting rust/dust now, I go with the Raptor for the current generation of aircraft.

It's probably the best pure fighter, without counting the F-15 of course, which is out of everyone's league.

well, to be fair f-15 was the king off the skies, and still is to this day.

There were working on a carrier variant of the f-15, that would have been cool, will I make an combat aircraft talk thread?

F-14s were pretty class, But the Bombcat :love:
