Eh. I'd still rather they stay on-track than not.
Even if my understanding of the subject only sees minor refinement, that on its own is good enough for me.

Personally, I do not think it is.
If I understand the original intent of the thread, it was to discuss why there are seemingly more female characters in RP than male characters. My thought on it? People RP what they want to RP. Why not leave it at that? There is certainly a better place to discuss the nature of this topic than a role-playing forum.
It's directly related to roleplaying, though. A better question would be if this particular community is cut out for it...

If you want, I can take off my Nate-hat, put on my tweed jacket, put my diploma on the wall, dust off my worn copy of Judith Butler's GENDER TROUBLE, and talk that kind of shop, but not here.
Sure. I think it's really unfortunate, as I really like talking about it, but I guess it's pretty self-evident at this point what kind of place this is.
