After reading alot of codex's I've noticed that some rules just dont apply to women at all, for they say for example in the deployment rules " This is his "deployment zone""-endquote page 92 of the brb Pitched battle. And goes onto state even more rules that refer only to male players does anybody find this just a tiny bit stereotypical and sexest towards women

This is merely just a factual statement which interests me, because women cannot legally play 40K to its full extent due to these sexest set of rules.

Next you are going to tell me that "god" is male because he is referred to as "he" and "father"...

"He" is used as a generic descriptor for the player, or the player's opponent.

This is just what happens when your language of choice has no gender neutral third person singular pronoun.

Well Iam just stating raw and it is a very easy way to interpret the rules this way .

No youre not stating RAW, youre not understanding English

"He" (and derivitives) is not only gender specific but also the non-gender specific second person.

Also since it was made in english a s/he would have worked fine.

However, is not required, since "he" is a generic term which just describes "a person". Not to mention it is excessively clunky.

stop feeding the troll

No, it would have looked HORRIBLE when repeated throughout the book, as well as actually slowing comphrension of the written text down, nd is all entirely unneccesarily.

Seriously, you're wrong on this.

I guess you have lots of women playing in your area, where this may be a problem?

God forbid he ever sees a woman eating a Yorkie bar

"Stop! RAW! RAW!"

See Sig.

Also try that crud around my FLGS and you might just see SIG as well

いまいましい
No good at english Owell was worth a shot.

'The most important rule then is that the rules aren't all that important'

By use of the term 'most important' would definitively indicate that this rule supercedes all others in the book.
Therefore it is RAW that you chill out about RAW.

Very true

But RAW - if the rules are not important, then the rule telling you that the rules are not important is not important, meaning the rules are important!

And against the rules of this forum.

The whole point of YMDC is to find RAW, and then apply TMIR, not the other way around. This thread is a troll thread however.

I think we're done here.
