Like with literally everything else in reality, skill is the most important aspect of an activity. Especially when it comes to fighting.

A guy that is big and strong, yet not very good at fighting, will get their ass beaten by a 80lbs-soaking-wet girl who knows martial arts.

Stop reinforcing negative stereotypes.

Not really. This is the worlds best female fighter. She fights these guys. She wins fairly easily but they are all smaller than her or at least not bigger than her, she certainly weighs more than any of them.
They do suprisingly well for a bunch of non combatant dudes.
If one of the guys was built (as in strong) he could probably just man handle her into submission despite having low skill.

Sarina and Venus Williams (At the time No.1+2 approx female tennis player) once claimed they would woop any dude outside the top 200 ranked male players. No. 203 accepted the challenged. Played them one after the other and beat Sarina 6-1 and beat Venus 6-2.

Differences is what makes life interesting. My life for example, my wife is super smart medical specialist. Way smarter than me, earns 3x as much as I do. Be damned if she can swing a spanner or open a stubborn jar of jalapenos though  ;).

There is nothing wrong with people having differences. The fact is woman aren't as capable physically as men (strength and agility wise), and that's ok. I don't see a problem with representing it in the game but it's not something I have thought of my self.

Who says the people in the game are even human? Perhaps they are a race in which there is no difference between men and woman.

Is it Tynan's prerogative?  Definitely, that's the very definition of the word after all.

I had to go and look up the word of the day but I agree whole heartedly with your comment. It is exactly what I expect to happen.

@SENS - Mate that's a hell of a life story to throw into a forum post. I skipped over about half of it as I'm being harassed by my kids. My reply to your post is sucking up to Tynan isn't going to make him come back to work any faster it will just leave your nose smelling like shit.

If I had to guess I would say this game is doomed. It makes me sad because the quality of this development made me buy in after I had declared I would never support early access again.
Taking a 6 months hiatus mid development is a very bad sign. If he had taken a couple of weeks off like a normal person taking holidays I would see it as no problem.
I guess it's the problem with throwing so much money at a guy just starting out.
If I was a betting man I would put money on him starting a new project once gets home and effectively abandoning Rimworld.
Hopefully that's not the case and I invested wisely in this game but I don't have much hope.

Shattered pelvis can mean only one thing.... Bad manners.
Someone tried to shoot him in the dick.
