Once and for all: is it ever permissable for a male to roleplay a female Player Character?

How about the flip side: woman roleplaying a male Player Character?

No, its never ok for a male to play a female.
Yes, its ok for a female to play a male.
This is one of those issues were it cant be explained fairly but you just know it aint right. Like woman in combat. It just aint right.
For the most part the only people who play female charcters are weirdos trying to get attention and thats all bad. Plus theres the homosexual thing. Now i am far from homophobic and have high tolerance for such deviance. But being subjected to it hours on end would get to me.
Additionally at some point in the game some npc or pc is going to flirt with or by flirted by said PC. Which translaes into real life as ken flirting with larry. Now these two dudes are the most hetero sexual men i know but I STILL DONT LIKE IT.
On the other hand its ok for females to play males cause woman are much more comfortable with issues of gender and intergender relations. Also the game is designed for males and it only makes sense.

OK, i give up, I had to see if I was the only one feeling like that. DM's wife played first session as a male character, I think to avoid the whole flirtation issue and stuff. But I made a comment and I think that's all it took - all I said was "you're playing a male PC?" like this:  Then last session two new bozos show up and they are a married couple too. However, the husband decided to play a female half-orc. And he corrected people numerous times. And no one's talking in character, we talk like, what will "he" do. He even correct someone who said "guy" referring to his PC. It was too much and I wanted to rip his sheet in half and give him an atomic drop, but instead I tried to ignore the couple even existing within the game and outside the game. I can see females playing male PCs fine to avoid all the "who's fucking you character" jokes, but a man pretending to be a woman is not who I want to spend my weekend houts with. I thought I was not seeing the light or something. BUT THIS AINT RIGHT |

This is not the place for it, so I put it on the Merginboards. I track there the mighty adventures of Dave Buckley in DnD land in North Carolina.  |

The "mighty adventures of Dave Buckley in DnD land in North Carolina" are already over.  Probably for the best though. |
