Who thinks this is sexist?

Question

Why cant male avatars on yahoo wear female clothing and vice versa? Shouldnt yahoo please not only the male and female genders, but yet also please the gender bending crossdressers and transvestites of the present?

Answer 1

Have you thought about making your own avatar piece-meal?

First, design your male avatar the way you want where it will show and then make a screen capture of it by pressing CTRL+PRNT SCRN (print screen). This captures the whole visible desktop and copies it onto the clipboard. Open up an image editor, or even PAINT (Start --> All Programs --> Accessories) and past the image in there and Save it.

Now, make a female avatar the way you want. Repeat the capture process. Now, copy and paste bits back and forth between them until you get the look you want. Use the resize tools to make the slimer female clothes fit a male figure. (This is tricker to do in PAINT, but it is possible using the menus.) Meanwhile, you can even add custom backgrounds from any photo or graphic you have.

Now, just save and upload the image to your profile or 360 and voila! The image will be static, instead of blinking and such. If you had an animated GIF editor you might even capture and imitate those movements frame by frame. However, I don't think Yahoo allows animated GIFs in profiles anymore.

Lemme know if you need any help.

Answer 2

There are still many things you can't do on the Avatar. I wanted a bicycle helmet and riding shoes to go with my outfit but there were non.

I just don't think anyone thought of it yet. I also wanted to put a mens suit on and saw one on Dr, Z's themed avatar. Perhaps you should write and ask them. Though I'm sure it's really not a popular thing for most guys to want to do. Other then as a joke, which to me would then be insulting and abused.

Answer 3

I believe it's a bit sexist.

I asked my gurl this exact same question last week. It's so hard to find clothes that a stud/dyke female can wear on the yahoo! Avatars. I was so glad they came out with a business suit, that's the only thing I could find that worked for my attitude.

Well, that and a german shepard. LOL

Answer 4

actual. It relies upon on whether this is accomplished initially, or in a cliche way. Sexism, on its very own, isn't inherently humorous. yet sexist jokes could be humorous in the event that they are clean. It additionally relies upon on the point of seriousness in the back of the humorous tale. Telling a sexist humorous tale a pair of gender to somebody you comprehend somewhat despises that gender or to recover from your very own bitterness at a gender isn't humorous, through fact it is not joking. this is agreeing with the misogynist/misandrist guy or woman, and then claiming it to be a humorous tale. yet telling sexist jokes lightheartedly to baby with friends or to boost the hackles of a guy or woman you comprehend is comfortable? that's humorous.

Answer 5

Ask them. I'm sure you'll be seeing the option in 3 months if you get enough people to demand it. You have to understand, if your not a crossdresser, you REALLY forget about that group. Sorry. But yeah, start a petition and I'll join ya.

Answer 6

Thank you! I've been having the hardest time dressing my avatar the way I dress! And only recently have any "masculine" job wear become available (police, fire).
