Andromeda and SJW influence: Delusional Rage or Unfortunate Reality? (Discussion)

I could find you a list of female MMA fighters as well. Exceptions do not substitute for group trends.

There's a reason why most violent crime and sexual assault is committed by men, and it's not because they were "taught" or social policy breeds violent men. Men are more violent, more disagreeable, distinctly more selfish and obsessed with status.

Women can excel in positions such as pilots (and other tasks which don't involve physical combat or labor), but at any point where lifting weight and physical combat takes place, there's not remotely any doubt that men are the optimal choice.

I'm not saying women can't thrive as leaders, but the ratio in interests on gender stereotypical tasks gets more skewed the more equal societies become. It is Saudi Arabia and Iran who have the higher proportion of female engineers (in fact, in Iran women make 55% of the physics students), not Scandinavia or the US or Canada, and especially not the UK.

So when a game pretty much introduces the vast majority of leadership positions occupied by females, and retcons the krogan to follow that trend with Morda, the game feels forced. It feels like they were trying to tick boxes.

Right, they're only supposed to pander to your demographic, not everyone else.

Unless that secretary was a dalatrass, I don't see the issue.

Consider ME1.
The codex sets the salarians up in a very specific way.
It states that the species has far more males then females. The ratios of sex is skewed heavily in the favor of the males making females a protected class.
It also states that salarian females are revered in salarian society and only work important positions, like ones of power and politics.

Female salarian secretary is a far leap from how salarians are canonized from the beginning. Not to mention a female salarian allowed to be a pathfinder and purposefully put herself in direct harm.

Secretary to head of the Andromeda Initiative, yep not important.

No, not really.

Pathfinder, no they don't have power and never deal with politics.

Salarian females are a protected class and suddenly are given access to combat roles in a new galaxy where they are even fewer in number. Logic?

An honor? Yes, but an even greater liability.

In a species in which few females are born, it make zero sense in my eyes to go on an intergalactic journey only to put said females on the front lines as what is essentially part of a special forces detachment.

One cannot repopulate whilst KIA.

Well, she does die depending on your choice in a certain story mission, but looking at only her is no my point and a rather myopic take on the crux of the issue.

The issue here is that a society that has limited numbers of viable females is suddenly putting them in harms way or relegating them to task that are not normally delegated to them. There is a noticeable retcon of the canon here as well as a dumbing down/homogenization of this "new" canon & I can't shake the feeling that these changes are made based on adherence to modern political ideologies and not because they benefit the lore in any way.
