I've been kind of disappointed in this game because the behaviors in so many respects are unrealistic and sexist.

For example, as some have mentioned, only women can care for the babies and that's all they can do for two years after having one! Excuse me! Even in so-called primitive societies, the work of child-rearing is shared, if not with the men, then at least among the women so that they can still be productive in other ways. Have you never heard the expression, "it takes a village to raise a child"?

Also, it is ridiculous that in order to reach the status of master or even adept parent all a male character has to do is go indoors a lot and inpregnate females. That's not being a parent. I feel male characters should not achieve ranks in parenting unless there is also a way for them to participate more in raising (not just making) babies.

The age at which people have babies is also laughable. They can't "go inside" until they are 18, but women are having babies without the aid of invitro well into their 60s. Give me a break!!! And the oldest women (and men) are the most sought after for mating. This is just ridiculous. Female characters should not be able to bear children after about 40. And they should be able to become sexually active earlier...about 16 would be more realistic and not too creepy. This sheepishness about teen sex seems especially silly considering the amount of incest that happens. If you are going to be puritanical, then you should have some way of tracking family trees and keeping fathers from having sex with daughters, and so on.

The whole, "These villagers are the same gender!" warning is questionable for the same reasons. Homosexuality exists. If you aren't going to be equally puritanical about incest, then you shouldn't prohibit homosexual contact. Probably the best thing would be to provide players with options. How realistic or clean do they want their sexual contact.

I'm also with the person who said they should hold hands on the way indoors. Otherwise, it's creepy--like they are sneaking around. Perhaps, given all the sleeping around, incest, etc., they should be sneaking, but I'd rather see villagers happily flaunting their love.

I realize the changes I suggest would take a lot of work and involve writing a lot of code and doing a lot of beta testing. Well, for what you are charging for the full version of this program, I feel you should put the work in.

As I said at the beginning, I find the current version very disappointing because of these sociological inconsistencies, and would not recommend it to any friends.
