I was thinking of how she sits when talking to Garrus. An epic leg splay that would even shock a gynecologist.
He's got the reach. She's got the flexibility.

Women must behave like this, women must sit like this, women must dress like this, women must talk like this, women must look like this. Otherwise they are not women despite what gender they are born as. All because they do not follow the social norm they are turned into men and that is disgusting.
Same goes for men.

Though I've seen some people say the way he crosses his arms is too feminine, which is just ridiculous.

Yes, but no one is making threads complaining about how male Shepard behaves. He is behaving how it is socially acceptable. Though I've seen some people say the way he crosses his arms is too feminine, which is just ridiculous.
You could count though that people like to say male shepard being bisexual/gay will some how damage his leadership skills. Meanwhile it's perfectly acceptable for female shepard to have bisexual tendencies.
Social gender expectations.

Is this another Kaidan romance thread?

I think that male Shepard is too masculine. But it is just my opinion, I am in a great minority here, nothing in the game is going to change for me alone. I like to play dudes from Final Fantasy. And just in case - I'm straight.

I think such threads are made because female gamers in general have a difficult time being acknowleged, and we would like our slice of game preferences to be considered. FemShep sharing animations with MaleShep makes the experience feel less unique, and like FemShep is second class as a character. Gender stereotypes aren't really a factor for me, it's about equality in gaming, which we are still a long way away from, sadly.

Cloud? Squall? Ramza? Fei, if we're extending to other strong leads from that era of good JRPGs? Yeah, they're cool.

Yes. They are badass, and exeptionally good looking, they also don't hide their emotions a lot.

Probably more-so for us actually, at least where I am from. Woman could be masculine and it would be fine. Men acting feminine just wasn't social accepted, which is sad really... I enjoy unique and unordinary personalities.

A thread about it being girly? Looks perfectly fine to me, Shepard here is showing some character instead of being a brick.

Indeed.

Agreed. I don't see how this is really girly. Its just a male Shepard crossing his arms . Maybe its the way his hips look that give him the girly look, I don't know. I just don't see it. But then I suppose I don't have room to talk about this since 1. I am not a man. 2. I don't use Male Shepards.D.Kain wrote...
