Am I the only one who is noticing that women in a lot of games lately are pretty much just as tall as men? What's the point of this? Male Shepard looks like he's a good 6'2", 200lbs, yet in conversations with Ashley or any human female, he's dead-eye level with them. For a game that seems to want to depict the male and female bodies accurately, it's a huge contradiction to make the women so tall. I'm still very confused about why games are doing this. Do people actually think it's sexist? Men being visibly larger and taller than women is a biological fact about our species, and making them the same height kind of looks cartoony.

Sadly, I think people actually do think it's sexist to assume women are shorter. It's really pathetic that political correctness has come to the point where ignoring biological traits of our species is actually encouraged. What I would consider a similar scenario is the narrator of a nature documentary saying, "Male lions can weigh as much five hundred and fifty pounds; females, up to four hundred. But not every lion's weight has been recorded, so we're not going to be sexist and say that male lions are generally larger, because that would hurt the female lions' feelings."
