status-resolved Gender Equality on NamePros

[N-A]

Women have been fighting for years for gender equality. The first instance in the United States that I can recollect was August 18th, 1920 with the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote.

Nearly 100 years have since passed, but women are now allowed to be in military combat roles. In fact, it's expected that the first female infantry recruits will graduate USMC recruit training this month (January 2017).

Why is namePros living in the past and awarding 10 trophy points to females? It's like it's undermining the movement that females have been fighting so hard for all this time.

My opinion is to take it away completely or award it to males as well. Another great option is to open up "gender" so that anyone can identify as any gender they wish and not be restricted to just male or female.

Welcome to 2017.

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion. It's updated to not isolate a gender and the points will be awarded to all 3 gender options.

When signing up to NamePros, the software we use (Xenforo) provides 3 gender options (Male, Female, Unspecified). Unspecified can technically be used in conjunction with any gender other than male or female. It might be more productive to contact the Xenforo support team directly to see if they would be willing to add more gender options to the software they sell.

I Hope that helps,
