I usually wear dress shoes, if anyone wants to know.

Some heels do look really good, but they have to be with the right kind of outfit, otherwise you end up looking like a woman of the world's oldest profession. Personally, I love wearing boots in the fall and winter. I wear flip flops and sandals the rest of the year. I only wear sneakers when I'm going to be out for a long time and will walking a lot. And frankly, that's pretty normal for women. Keep that in mind when you're wondering what a female character should wear. Thanks GX, I usually just used boots, tennis shoes or nothing. I care not for fashion so I did not know. Sneakers/tennis shoes are fine as well, I just don't care for them personally. But for a fantasy setting, as long as it's not for a formal event, boots always work best. Reserve heels for when they're wearing a dress or a fairly long, very dressy skirt. And just like that, she has the appropriate footwear for every outfit.  Dang, now I want to go shoe shopping at the mall. Last time I did that I got five pairs for under $50.  |

GX, if you are referring to "Where do you want to sit?" then that was Jet speaking, not Pearl. Sorry, I had shoes on my mind. Edited it. |

Arcturus wears sandals with no socks. He wears a robe over his armor, and when he's not wearing his armor, he's wearing a plain tunic.
Anyways, I want to make a bet.
Once Team Nova ends in two to four topics (estimation), do you think empire will join this, or will he start a new one?
If he makes a new one, do you think it will be fantasy or science fiction?

You know what? I'm going to do a psychology experiment on why female humans are so obsessed with shoes.
I mean, it's just a Goddamn shoe! You only need like three pairs. Shoes for informal occasions, shoes for semiformal occasions, and shoes for formal occasions.

Shoes for informal occasions, shoes for semiformal occasions, and shoes for formal occasions. lol Look, it's about fashion and expectations. Who pays attention to a man's shoes? No one. However, everyone expects women to wear shoes that complement their outfits. You can't do that with three pairs of shoes, Golurk. Fashion is very complicated, and if you wear the wrong thing it will never be forgotten. I just had a random deja vu moment while typing that. |

I am perhaps the most fashionable male within my school, and I get by on two pairs!
TWO! PAIRS!
Brown dress shoes and black dress shoes. It's really not that hard.
I still need a haircut before a bird feels like making a nest on my head though.

Women are, all because of an ancient mindset in which more often than not women were just objects that had to meet absurd standards. This mindset had changed very little up until the feminist movement, and even to this day it remains in many forms. So basically, it's because of ancient traditions started by men which then became the social norm, causing most women to adopt it as proper behavior in order to appease others and escape ridicule.  |

Do you know why I dislike many so-called feminists?
It's because some of them complain about insignificant things like the fact that the proper way to refer to someone of an unknown gender is "he" and when they complain about social pressures that can be applied to both genders.
I just view males and females as generally the same, with only a few things like anatomy and psychology being the only difference. Anyways, any female that isn't a complete ass is okay in my book.

"We are defined by the company we keep"-Some dude I can't remember "A women's best friend is a diamond." "Man's best friend is a dog." Thus we can concur that all women are held to the standard of a diamond, beautiful and captivating but sharp. And all men are looked down on as dogs, lovable, excitable, trainable, and willing to let anyone pet them. |

Not all feminists are bad, it's just that some have given them a bad name. And I agree that 99.99% of the time males and females should be treated the same. Sadly, that's not going to happen in our society. Frankly, I'd be happy if only my father learned that there's nothing wrong with me being independent and able to take care of myself. He hates that about me, and that really hurts.

Some people complain about men being too demanding, but quite frankly I feel it's usually the other way around. At least, from what I overhear from people talking. Anyways, it's probably just something to do with my area and community. Fun fact: Studies have shown that the happiest marriages tend to be the ones that the female in the relationship is generally smarter and better looking, but the male has a bigger income. |

It's just hard when you believe that everyone should be treated as equals and you're willing to fight for you beliefs, yet you live in the same house as someone like him. He's also a racist. It drives me absolutely crazy. |

Here's a favorite saying of mine.
"I'm not racist, because I discriminate against everyone equally."
Anyways, I believe the word 'racism' is thrown around a bit too often. People don't understand the difference between racism and stereotyping.
White men can't dance - stereotype
Asians are good at everything - stereotype
Any and all public activities performed by the KKK - racism
Black people can jump really high - stereotype

So was my grandfather. I'm not sure about any of them farther back in his family, because they were all dead before I was born. Luckily that's not really a problem on my mom's side of the family for whatever reason. |

No, I believed you. I was just doing a segue. Luckily, no one in my family is racist. I still have a weird-ass family situation though.
Speaking of females and awkwardness, I hate Valentine's Day.
