I agree. It's one thing if it's supposed to be commentary on gender roles in our own society, but I'd love to see more fantasy wherein it's not even an issue. One of the reasons I love the Elder Scrolls series so much is because sexism is so rarely an issue in the games. Your female Nerevarine, Hero of Kvatch or Dragonborn isn't going to face a whole lot of opposition based on her gende, at least in-game. Recently, a mod author whose mods I otherwise enjoyed made a new one that removed almost all of the female guards, saying it wasn't "realistic" for women to be warriors in the era Skyrim is supposed to be set in. Because a world with dragons who shout you to death, magic, elves, anthro-cats and anthro-lizards with boobs is otherwise a paragon of historical accuracy and realism. And never mind that in many ancient cultures like, say, the Vikings, there were many warriors who were openly female.
