Let your gender affect your stats slightly.
Male -> +2 str +2 int +2 wis +2 con
Female -> -5 str -2 int -2 wis -5 con -3 dex (breasts are cumbersome, ask Zrothum) .
Thoughts?
Gender Stats.
Slightly is the key work here.
Otherwise, nice suggestion.
Lmao nice
females would have more int and wis not less.

Still trolling I see 
lets stay in context
consider gymnasts
male skills prove +1 str
female skills prove +1 dex
consider academics
males do well in mathematics and sciences +1 int
females do better in language arts and reading classes +1 wis
consider lifetimes
males have a higher threshold for most painful situations +1 con
females out live men regardless of the males improved health +1 luck
Croyvern, old friend,
you truly must take into account Zrothum's man boobs. What has been seen cannot be unseen and this is the problem.
And did you say I was a female based on academics?

Do men and women perform different gymnastics because of their differing relative strength or agility? Or is it because they have a different center of balance? Isn't agility (esp. concerning explosive-type power used in gymnastics in game represented by dexterity, oddly) indicative of strength for both genders? I think you'd have a very hard time proving that str or dex here. Which is stronger..the person who can lift more or the person who can lift their body more? Or maybe it is measured by momentum? If so, does weight matter or the source of the momentum? The momentum of what and when?
Academics has no real research to show that it is in the biology for either gender to be better at math or communication. That is a common myth. It has to do with socialization and the bias in education towards these ends. Besides, why is math INT and language WIS? If INT is the genetic capacity to learn, it would be fairly equal, being immune to socialization. Or, if you want to get into the concept of aptitude...aptitude towards what and measured when and how? If WIS is what one chooses to do with that capacity or aptitude (the actual use of experience), it would differentiate depending on topic and the opinions of the judge...
If men die younger, it probably isn't due to their higher "con" or improved health and certainly not the reverse based on statistically noticeable luck There is a lot of information on the topic, and it may not be health-related at all. It is likely more indicative of general lifestyle than vulnerability to disease or pain.
This might actually have some merit. Unfortunately, I think we'd be arguing all day long trying to decide whose stronger, smarter, or more wise and intellectual than the other sex.
We also need to remember that just because you're female or male doesn't necessarily mean you inherit these so-called sexist traits.
Anyone remember the old age stat modifier?
Cause I do.
Let's not mess with stats.

So, what about Zrothum? :confused:
Thank you for the long write-up, Celerity, so I didn't have to do it.
I've never been a fan of gender-based stat differences in games... They all tend to reflect some flawed stereotype or another.
How this thread reached 2 pages is beyond me.
What the hell? This was a joke.
No, it's not a joke...this is my legitimate attempt to PK Zrothum by having him gimped.
What the hell? This was a joke.
Chaos theory man, chaos theory.
im already gimped 
Cel makes a good point.
Woman have a knack for pointing out others flaws. +1 damage
Men are better at sports. +1 hit
Just kidding Cel, you know I love ya.
