Here is my biggest concern, for a franchise devoted to plausable realism, I have to say the role of a female commander aboard the galaxy's most advanced stealth ship seems not plausable. I don't want to seem all hating and stuff, but I'm just stating my concerns.
Traditionally, the navy has males in possitions of athority. This is done for several reasons, to prevent the female from being put into an awkward possition, and that she might not be able to handle the responsibilites of commanding a large number of men and a massive boat. To also have women aboard ships presents various privacy problems, what if Kaiden set up a video camera and watched female shepard as she showered? That has been done before on US boats. If i was a guy, I would feel sexually threatened if my squadmate/bunkmate where to be a female. I would not want to invade her privacy or do something to hurt her. Sexually threatened mostly being in the way, Isabella handels her crew, I would definately not want my shipmate acting that way.
Additionally, females are not on the front lines for their own saftey, the most important being that if a female soilder is to become a pow she would be singled out because of her gender and put through horrible things by her captors.
I also object to the reason why Bioware added female shepard to the series, personally I feel as though it is fan service to the male gamers in the audiance. It seems to me that people glorify her as a sex trophy, as respect her for the role Bioware put her in. Same with Isabella for Dragon Age. Not that I enjoy play as my own gender for once, I feel it was a fan service. A female lead would fit in games like fable or dragon age more.
Finally I feel as though if a woman were to be placed in a command role, i don't think she couldn't handle if effectivly has a male could. Men make gut decisions based on reason/logic and can stand to make the tough choices (generally), for the most part women can't handle makeing big and tactical decisions. We get too emotional at times.
It isn't realistic to put female Shepard in the role she is in.

I'm going to assume that this is an attempt at a troll topic, since the alternative would diminish whatever small amount of faith I may have had in humanity.
Obviously, this thread will now be locked.
