Always ? Surely not always... Really, always ?
I mean I tend to side with him, because he's alone most of the time defending his point of view against you and Battler, but I'm just trying to nuance things...

But to talk more about real life and politics: As "the political right" in this thread acknowledged, the most powerful wizards with leadership in the game are male, whereas both women in the School of Magic "decided to be sexual". I don't think it's sexist in real life to keep an eye on when those dynamics might be partially caused by high inequality, and by the women wishing to trade beauty for status. Doesn't mean that I want to slut-shame the women (and I understand how bringing this topic up could hurt the affected women), but instead of blaming the women, I'd like to know if any policy could be changed in order to discourage a beauty-status exchange (for example by reducing inequality).

Also, as in real life powerful men who often surrounded themselves with young beautiful women have often been found to harass women (Hugh Hefner being a notable exception), I think it's worth to find out what's really going on and that isn't sexist either.

If you have follow-up questions, feel free to reach out to me via PM.

P.S.: I'd see myself as politically centrist. The leftist parties in Germany are a lot more to the left than me.
One more tho,
I find it strange that you call them so called wizards, as if their magic isnt real? Arent they obviously celebrated in lba2?

Following my excellent post in Offtopic, I felt to contribute some ideas along the same lines in regard's to Twinsen's job. Of course, donkeys, the sun, women and grass are involved in this thought process.

Title: Twinsen's Multifaceted Journey: Nature's Splendors, Empowered Women, Enigmatic Donkeys, and Celestial Radiance

Introduction:
Twinsen embarks on a transformative odyssey, entwining his diverse vocations with the enchanting realms of nature. Through lush grasslands, empowered women, enigmatic donkeys, and celestial radiance, his journey reveals the harmonious symphony within these elements.

Twinsen: A Multifaceted Conduit
Versatile and adaptive, Twinsen's journey transcends a singular job. As an explorer, healer, and guide, he embodies a conduit between diverse domains, navigating his transformative path.

Grass: Nature's Foundation
Resilient blades of grass symbolize rejuvenation and untamed nature. Twinsen finds solace amidst this vibrant tapestry, harmonizing with the cyclical rhythm of life.

Empowering Women: Beacons of Wisdom
Extraordinary women shape Twinsen's destiny, nurturing his potential and enriching his experiences. Their strength and wisdom guide his transformative journey.

Enigmatic Donkeys: Guardians of Insight
Mysterious donkeys offer glimpses into hidden realms, unlocking Twinsen's self-discovery through ancient wisdom. Their cryptic guidance leads to profound insights.

The Radiant Sun: Catalyst of Transformation
The radiant sun illuminates Twinsen's path, inspiring growth and self-realization. Its warmth and enlightenment become catalysts for his metamorphosis.

Harmonious Connections: Nexus of Twinsen's Journey
Grasslands, empowered women, enigmatic donkeys, and celestial radiance converge harmoniously. Sustained by grass, empowered by women, enlightened by donkeys, and emboldened by the sun, Twinsen weaves a symphony of interconnectedness.

Conclusion:
In Twinsen's multifaceted journey, the splendors of nature, empowered women, enigmatic donkeys, and celestial radiance form a harmonious tapestry. Twinsen's transformative odyssey reflects the interconnectedness of existence in a succinct and profound manner.

I know there has been some arguments in this thread, and some disunity, but I hope this puts it all to rest.

Thank you for replying, my dear Polaris.

Of Twin and Sun, I am speaking of Sun. Sun is bigger than Twin, and the bigger twin is better than the smaller twin in humans. Ergo, I think the same is true of suns.
