Re: OOC: CHAT
Hey, by human standards, the O'maeda male is treated like a God. Pampered, cuddled, and given no real responsibilities other than the pleasurable reproduction. No where does it say they were 'house-hubbies' to piggish disgusting females. Besides, TK allows for simple work of house chores.
Leo isn't saying it's bad either. It just doesn't comply well with his feeling of wanderlust, and the need to prove to himself that he could be whatever he wants and that he has more value than a simple sex object. That he could protect a woman should he care about her, or at least protect himself enough so that she would not have to worry about him if it came to conflict.
I always felt that gray matter, boiling like so much jell-o from the eyes, nose, ears, and finally the heart and entrails bursting volcanically through the mouth had a little more intimidation factor to all of the other idiots that thought, "Oh, He's O'maeda, their males are the ones that have bodyguards and are shielded by women all the time! Lets get him to assert our position of masculinity over the already socially neutered males!"
Or punching through an offensive man's chest after delivering a pirouette...
