Following the "Why there are no female giants" threads, another popular question that stems from a simple observation

The guy in the Dawnguard DLC that can give your character a facelift with magic?
He gave them all six changes. With magic.

It's true you don't see many Falmer Women, in fact they are so alike in voice and appearance that they are often mistake for Falmer men. This has given rise to the belief that there are no Falmer Women, and the Falmor just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is of course ridiculous.

Ugly and twisted as they are, some female traits should be carried over even in the evolution from Snow Elves to Falmers. The presence of a female Falmer armor suggests that, at a certain point, females were considered in the game, otherwise Bethesda would jhave just made their clothing not available to players, like Tsun's armor or the executioner robes.

Haha.


But it's not because Falmer do actually spring out of holes in the walls of some caves.

or, being rare and precious, like the spawn, we dont see them because they are kept in underground safe places we cannot go to.

I can't find a large difference between a male chimpanzee and a female chimpanzee.

I can see the difference, but only because I know chimpansees.
Good point.

I'm guessing this, though I doubt they'd look much different than male ones.

Maybe they keep the females hidden somewhere only for mating and have the males running everything.

Wouldn't really be surprised by this gender discrimination considering what the Falmer are known for doing to every other race.

Well, apart from obvious differences in the reproductive organs (since the chimps don't know that being naked is a social "faux pas", it's pretty easy to spot them), the females of the "great apes" have briasts! Oh, yes they do. Covered in fur and smaller (they swell noticeably only while they're feeding cubs unlike those of humans which stay prominent for all the life) but still the all too familiar pear shape that we all know and love.

Yes we all love chimpanzee briasts. Don't deny it !!

Why are there no female giants? Why are there no female spiders? Why are there no female mammoths? Why are there no female wolves? Why are there no female bears? Why are there no female ice wraiths? Why are there no female greybeards?

Are there any male Ice Wraiths ? I didn't think they had a gender.

Anyone who has spent any time with any of the tribes of our cousin chimp or urang-utang would know.
Its as easy as telling the difference between human male and female really, and it is a case of demeanor more than physicality.

Oh man, this thread has taken a turn for the worse.

Bahahawahahahahaha!

Thats funny. I always assumed all spiders, bears, wolves were female.
Cause of, you know, obviously.
And in the case of spiders not being tiny and hidden on the females back.

It is really surprising to me that Shadowmere gets called a 'he'.
Its not.
It lacks parts to thereof.

There's a theory going around that wisp mothers are female snow elves. Somehow.

I don't want to think of them as having anything to do with the transformed falmer however.

I'm pretty sure 99% people on Earth can distinguish a male chimpanzee from a female chimpanzee at first glance.

Hell most people can't even distinguish a male dog from a female one, unless they bow down and look.

If you still don't get my point, I'll say it more plainly.
You are asking about female falmers, and yet you(or most people) won't think about female saber tooth, mammoth, walrus, troll, etc. In this game however, all these creatures are gender unspecific.

You are asking it because falmers are humanoids but those are just beast. You see humanoids everyday and you think these falmers should just appear as what you see everyday. That's why you are bothered by it(lack of a female model).

You are not(or less) bothered by those beasts because you see them less often and to you a male and female aren't that different. However, if you ask a biologist who studies these kind of beasts everyday to play this game, it's very likely he/she will notice and be bothered by the lack of gender difference in these beasts as well.

As in all (or most) primates female chimpanzees will also probably be smaller than males.

4 millions years ago our common ancestors had a thing going for briasts.

The chimps settled for an easy going life in the forest while us, humans, evolved to the point of going crazy over artificial, silicon inflated, boobs, paper centerfolds and digital internet p**n! O_o

If Darwin were alive today, by looking at our society, he would postulate the "theory of devolution"

Correct.
Not our close cousin the urang-utang though.

briasts are front-buttox.

To accomodate for male missionary-position females developed 'something to look at'
At least, that is the prevaling theory.
Its not for feeding cause of, you know, chimps and pigs that do fine without.

But chimps do have briasts. Smaller than human briasts perhaps but that's probably down to sixual selections or something like that, with male humans picking females that had larger briasts more often than not, whereas chimps weren't really bothered.
