Imperial Rank Titles - From a female perspective

[StephanieABT]

They are sexist plain and simple.

How come FDEV made only Masculine ranks for the Empire?

What they should have done is make the ranks match the account. So if the Account is a male name etc then ranks show accordingly and the same goes for us females.

An example being myself....why must I have a COUNT rank when the correct term should be COUNTESS?

It really would not be that hard to implement and make us female players more part of the game. After all gaming is no longer a male only hobby (it never was really but thats an argument for another time)

Please FDEV make your female players feel included....a good start would be to modify the Imperial Ranks as i suggest.

At least consider it.

Thanks.

I totally agree but it's way down the list of priorities I suspect

 

[StephanieABT]

Better yet, just give us the option to change the ranks from masc to feminine ingame. Might be easier to implement

It's part of the lore. See this article:http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor

Quote from there:
"Early in his reign, Emperor Hengist Duval changed the laws of succession so that daughters of the Imperial line would also be able to become Emperor.[1] The Senate determined that the title 'Emperor' should be used for both male and female rulers.[2]"

The Empire doesn't differentiate. Everyone gets the same titles.

I'm afraid you tried too hard with this one.
Edit: Nope, people are still biting.. Hats off..
Edit2: And me...
On the topic however,

"Early in his reign, Emperor Hengist Duval changed the laws of succession so that daughters of the Imperial line would also be able to become Emperor.[1] The Senate determined that the title 'Emperor' should be used for both male and female rulers.[2]"

Done, complete, finished.

Woman are not allowed on the military. You have to pretent to be a male.

ok,let me get this straight, you think its sexist (actually its just standard military ranks) but you want separate ranks for women but thats not sexist?

So, do you have suggestions for what those rank titles should be?

I would rather be killed then ever pretend to be a male and as for the lore.....Then its an !

The future supposedly is more into equality not going back to the Male chauvinistic era!!

You read me wrong all i would like to see is the female equivalent of the titles in the Imperial ranks. Baron and Baroness, Duke/Duchess etc. Thats all, i am not about to start a damn gender war on a forum full mostly of males.........

 

[Kevin Kyle]

OK,that seems reasonable enough.

 

[EvE4evah]

I completely agree with OP.

Women's battle is always an uphill battle.

At least you always win the argument in the end, so Steph I hope you win this one.

Edit: BTW include some MSR in your sig, willia

If it's possible, I'd really love to have the option to have a female title.

You select male, you get male responses, titles. Select female, get female responses, titles. Seems like a "duh" kinda thing. Lore, s'more...

You do know about slavery in the Empire, right?

Yup and it might be a rather trivial thing to attach "Duchess", "Viscountess", "Marquise" and "Queen" to the female option.

You probably should though, the 'ha ha ol' boy' aspect of the ED community is not something I'm proud of.

What relation does it have with male-only titles? European countries had such female titles since forever

Exactly. Go for it, Steph.

Some might argue, that removing gender specific pronouns from common lexicon is the complete antithesis of being sexist.
