I know. And I, argh, probably shouldn't expect better from Blizzard considering their fuckery with women in Cataclysm (at least as far as the leading lore figures; I really don't get how they can fuck over Sylvanas, Jaina, and Tyrande like they did but then have awesome women like Therazane and Myrla and Fanny) but fucking hell I want it to be better.

Something interesting that came up in the thread was that somebody mentioned "But Bioware games have characters that will hit on you as a woman too!" And I thought about it, and yes, they do... but you have the opportunity to respond. My bounty hunter gets to pull a gun on the asshole that reduces her to "sweetheart", and I think there is supposed to be a quest later on where some jackass makes a comment about women not belonging in the military, and you can fucking punch the asshole out.

But there are no such abilities to respond in WoW, so... your characters pretty much have to take it :-\
