Certainly the sexism is a big part of it, but I see that as an outgrowth of the general rigidity of gender roles. Not just gender roles, either - there's a cultural absolutism that is very much at odds with my generally chaotic nature. Further, I'm concerned that that is so intrinsic to the game that I couldn't just wander off with the tantalizing mechanic and play with that in another millieu.And... I find myself regretting that. Ordinarily I have no trouble with setting aside a game as "not for me", but doggone it, I'm intrigued by the mechanic and really want to see it in play. The reports of actual play I've seen interest me very much. I just can't see myself running in that world, or playing in it for an extended period.
