I'm still working on my RPG (got all but 3 of the classes outlined and base abilities written up), but it's slowed down because we're about to start another Pathfinder 2E campaign. My youngest son's GF wants to play (along with my oldest son, my niece and nephew, and my ex-wife), and the setting will be a mix of Spelljammer and Farscape, I'm super excited to run it this Saturday.
I was telling a male coworker how if I'm walking behind or next to a female I don't know out in the world, I do certain things (not be too loud but not be silent/stealthy, make sure I'm in her eyesight, take the next elevator if it's just the two of us, not take up as much space) so they can feel safer or at the very least less afraid and he said, "I'll be damned if I make myself small for anyone!" Dude, I'm secure in myself enough as a person that if making myself small (temporarily) helps someone else feel safe, I'm gonna do it.
I think it's both irritating and amusing when male geeky friends say things like, "Oh, THAT show, I just couldn't get into it, I didn't relate to it, it didn't grab me the way others did," and it's ALWAYS shows with strong female leads (She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, etc...). Misogyny is alive and well among geeks. :/
