As the years progress on Tumblr, I often hope that things will turn around in the RPC with its outlook on female muses. Unfortunately, I find myself disappointed - even now. Does no one realize that solely refusing to write with or interact with a muse based on their gender is discrimination? 

The definition of discrimination: a - prejudiced or prejudicial outlook, action, or treatment. b - the act, practice, or an instance of discriminating categorically rather than individually. ( according to Merriam-Webster )

This is where you judge a group of people or things solely based on an individual experience. People preach against discrimination on so many issues on here, whether that be sexuality, race, etc. But when it comes to something fictional as RPing, there are a number of people that throw this out of the window, and they literally see no wrong in it. Yes - there are people who write female muses who are tacky, and who will be rude, and who won’t follow rules. But this doesn’t fall on the female muse. This falls on the kind of person and individual that mun is.

Incidents like that isn’t located to just one group of people. Some muns of male muses are the same way. The only difference is that when it comes to male muses, the event is usually just individualized and male muses, as a whole, do not garner the blame for it. Because it’s not EVERY male muse fault. Why can’t people recognize that with female muses? It’s because of subconscious and internalized misogyny. 

The predominant base of RPers on this website are female. Yet there are many who will refuse to write or interact with someone, because their muse is FEMALE. Can yall repeat that prior sentence? Now, repeat it again. Don’t you see how foolish that sounds?

Oh, but don’t let me talk about how femininity is vilified in females. But when gay males express their femininity – which is stolen from women, and more specifically, BLACK women - in the RPC, its seen as cutesy and “uwu”. The feminine traits of women are accepted when it comes from a gay male. But people rather remain blind to that. 

TL;DR: Female muses deserve better. They are treated like bottom-of-the-barrel trash while their male counterparts are praised for doing the same things. Discrimination and misogyny is alive and well in the RPC, and as a community, we should do better because know better.
