More nurturing food.
Think praying mantis.

I think it's an art thing. Closest example that comes to mind would be Luis Royo's Prohibited. Like the Bosmer it some what seems to mimic the idea's of a beauty and the beast. You might not want to google that btw.

Insect thing works too.

Because Bosmer represent the idea that Women Are Always Beautiful and Men Are Always Short Ugly Trollish Creatures.

S'true.

So, which race epitomizes the masculine protector and hero figure, and depicts the woman as a fiendish, manipulating, poisoner [censored]?

I dont think they is one. But the closest thing that comes to mind is the Tsaesci.

Because. That's it, just because. Bosmesses (would that be the right term?) are tall. There are quite a lot of animal species where the female is bigger/stronger than the male. So....why not?

Dunmer. Ashlanders in particular.

Danged Mabrigash....go kill 'em for me, Mr. Hashizunabinibulan!

Bosmer. You never read the stories? The Black Arrow or The Marksmanship Lesson? Very skill full Hero's, never heard anything about the females though.

So would this make female Bosmers More ferior to the Males?

Can you rephrase that? I'm not sure what "More ferior" means.

Bosmesses

Bosmess, noun.
Technical term for a Bosmer who has come to a very sticky end. "The Adoring Fan ended up a Bosmess after Oblivion Domino Day."

Also,

Ferior, adjective.
Descriptive of the state of mind of a person who is in doubt of his physical attractiveness, and then decides that he is dashing/sixy/alluring/George Clooney.

Would that make male bosmers inferior to the females?

Ay ay ay, you do fair Lady Benoch a disservice, sirrah!

Edit: "Words and Philosophy", in case anyone's wondering what I'm blithering about. LB was the head of the Valenwood Guild of Fighters before ending up in the Blades.

Women being the baby machines and needing men to want them, they eat better than the men and teach their girls to do the same. This went on for long enough that the females outgrew the males on their extreme Atkins diet and now men of all races want a piece of a wood elf chick. :hubbahubba:

I always figured that short stature was something of an asset in the Bosmer lifestyle. If your livelihood is hunting by stealth, it doesn't pay to be large or conspicuous. Thus male Bosmer are actually at an advantage by being small. But if female Bosmer, even allowing for notable exceptions such as Lady Benoch, stay at home or engage in less stealthy trades, there is no selective pressure for them to be small.

I once read, Bosmer being hyperactive, the female Bosmers always lock them in cages, but that is logically a negative influence on their growing process. I can't remember where, though. I think somewhere on these forums, I'm not sure if it's official though.

Let see.

Fargoth.
Thariel.
The Adoring Fan.
Glarthir.
Thurindil.
Maglir.

How many of the stupid, crazy, or simply annoying Bosmer are male? How many are female?

If anything makes male Bosmer inferior to Bosmerettes, it's not their size or comeliness difference; it's their minds.

Let see.

Fargoth.
Maglir.

Fargoth wasn't crazy, he just wanted his ring back, and Maglir was kinda mad because the Champion of Cyrodiil destroyed his job.

Maglir or Umbra (OB).... Female Bosmers for the win

As I have stated before Magilr is/was a man.

I said crazy, stupid, or simply annoying.

I didn't find Fargoth or Maglir annoying :shrug:

There are quite a lot of animal species where the female is bigger/stronger than the male. So....why not?

Yes, it's not as uncommon as many people might think. My personal theory is that they evolved that way because since the females would be the ones giving birth and caring for young, they would need to be larger and stronger so they could protect their children as well as themselves. This wouldn't be as nessassary for Bosmers who are "civilized" but in their more primitive beginnings, I can see why the females would be taller.

With many species, the parent that has the role of care-giver/protector of the young (and sometimes that is the male, other times the female) is usually larger.
