When sexism ruins it
Sexism is built into many of the most popular roleplay costumes. The nurse and doctor game usually involves a female nurse costume and a male nurse costume. Or the CEO and secretary one has a male CEO costume and female secretary costume. The fireman fantasy has a male costume for the fireman and a female costume for the…person being saved? It is all a little antiquated. And it can lead to some arguments about gender norms, the gender pay gap, gender inequality, and the inherent sexism in the patriarchy. It can lead to those arguments. But you may want to ask yourself if sexy time is really the time to get into that.
