I'd be inclined to say "who cares?" After all, many women find dikus
interesting, if only for the social aspect. Yet where does the social
aspect come from but other players? Most of the women I know who play
muds are perfectly happy with socializing with the males/females who
play them.
Honestly, the goal here is to write a way cool, *fun* game. Fun is
subjective, therefore, you'd probably find it more rewarding to write
something that *you* like. Regardless of what sex/age you are.
