Even though FFXI is an MMORPG and you can chose the race and stuff, men and women have an equal value in the game. The Mithra are an only women race (actually the men stay in the town and the women go to fight for some reason, lazy?) and they have great advantages. But this refers back to the point of muscle, the Mithra are very fast but lack a little in attack. The Galka are an only male race (Cloning? Budding?), but they are very slow but strong. But good news for women is that the Female Elvaan can use scyths (spelling?, and other cool lokking weapons, but the jobs are the thing that distinguish weapons not gender (except Mithra and Galka. Good thing that there is not an only male or only female thing (maybe?) for us to bicker about, except like FFt with Dancer and Bard.
