Hm I read a lot of the posts here and this isn't aimed at anyone in particular.
All I am going to say is that Otto feels no need or obligation to help women because they are women. I clearly mack on women and actively pursue many thats apart of the character, but I most definitely will not intervene with an argument between a man and woman just because.
I actually personally HATE with a passion when my good friend and I do our little argument/insult RPs with each other and men swoop in left and right to physically stand between us and instigate fights with me for insulting her. Why it annoys me is from my view they fail to understand when they do this they are actively treating and thinking of women as less than them, that must have male assistance to survive/navigate the encounters. I like to think that I won't help women in fights with other men (unless asked directly) because I think of them as my true equal and would rather let them stand on their own versus me trampling over their situation. This is hard to describe but its a less distilled version of equal rights comes with equal lefts. I don't know at this point I'm rambling but I find the feeling of NEEDING to intervene with women because they are is super annoying and I'll never do it no matter what. That and the men constantly white knighting my female friend irritate her too because they are belittling her by stepping in, and trampling over her persona and in a round about way belittling her character.
sorry for the incoherent rant

To try to explain my viewpoint - lets say Lady Crofte draws her sword on a Roe man for whatever reason. Best believe I will not rush to help her because shes a woman. In fact she drew he sword first she better be ready for the consequences and I'm not going to help her at all unless she asks. I don't care if she loses she knew what she was getting into beforehand. Well I'd care to try to save her I guess if shes facing imminent death but if its a fight? Nah. I'd help her survive the encounter because Im not a psycho but Im not helping just because I'm a man and shes a woman. She a big girl if she can't handle the fights don't get in them. No thanks. That and my knowledge of how to use a lance is largely academic and I don't engage in fights myself all that often.
