Sickleyield lays it out well in the article above as to why there isn't more male clothing, I've been thinking on the issue and the only solution I see is for Daz to shift the percentage split for male clothing more in favor of the PAs in order to promote a more balanced store. I am a gay man and either this store needs to start objectifying women less or objectifying men more as it is the INCREDIBLE imbalance that gets me. This store is full of big barely covered boobs and well covered tucked males and it is flat out sexist. Boob morphs are everywhere and bulge morphs are rare or smooth and undefined (yes, male genitalia has a shape to it).
To be clear. I am not idiot, I know the sexual drive is lot going anywhere. I have one. I just think it should also be equally embraced for those of us that enjoy the male form. What PAs make is down to them and them HAVE to be driven by their income. ONLY DAZ have the power to present a more balance store and the only way I see it happening is if they take a smaller percentage for Male clothing.
I seriously see this as an equality obligation on Daz's part. Hollywood hasn't been able to get away with saying that only white straight films sell and Daz can't use the "what sells" excuse in the way PAs legitimately can.
EQUALITY IS A COMMITMENT AND IS DESTROYED BY GOING WITH ONLY WHAT SELLS MENTALITY.
what are your thoughts?

I don't see that DAZ has any kind of equality obligation. If there is one then please can we have as many right hand drive vehicles as there are left hand drive.
Actually, DAZ seems to already be doing something similar. Rather than paying a higher commission, they are buying them outright or making them in-house and selling them as DAZ Originals. Looking at clothing and accessories in the store, they have the following number of items available:
G3M clothes 304 total 147 daz originals 48.4% are daz originals
G8M clothes 739 total 429 daz originals 58.1% are daz originals
G8.1M clothes 476 total 323 daz originals 67.9% are daz originals
As you can see, they have actually been increasing the proportion of daz originals. I would like to see a larger and more varied selection for males(and kids), but it is unlikely to happen.
so you're comparing exclusion of a section of society because of their gender preference to exclusion because of which side of the road you drive on?
Thanks. That's good to know. Would be good if they commissioned more sexy stuff though. Feels like straight men are choosing.
Nobody is being excluded, There are some male clothes, just as there are some right hand drive vehicles. I just don't see that DAZ has an 'obligation' to provide what you want, anymore than it has an obligation to provide what I want.
And you are entitled to that view. I however am happy we live in a society where Hollywood and most big businesses do not agree with you and seek to promote equal representation.
If I have to go to another store to buy male skimpwear and those that want female skimp wear don't then my needs as a customer are being excluded.
The suggestion has been made, and a possible different ameliorative approach has been pointed out. I am locking this before it turns into an argument.
