Shannon's Journal Discussion

I am aiming to make it as close to gender and sexuality neutral as possible so that everyone - men, women, gay, straight, bisexual, can have a version with me only building one or two versions.

That worries me.. the whole gender neutral thing can only lead to it being watered down and trying to cater to everyone like that won't please anyone similar to what you said earlier in the post. I'm not sure i'd feel safe or comfortable using something that is described as 'gender and sexuality neutral'.

I totally missed this when I first read his post. I wholeheartedly agree with Ben. I believe that you REALLY need to consider this. I don't feel comfortable using a subliminal that will affect my beliefs and thought patters titled "Alpha Male" and being suitable for men, women, gay, straight, bisexual, etc.

At that point, it's not "Alpha Male" anymore. It's "Alpha Being". Those are two completely different programs. While there might be demand for other versions of alpha programming, I am looking forward to Alpha Male 7, the successor to Alpha Male 6, not a gender neutral version.

As stated in a previous post, I realistically cannot do a gender neutral version. It would indeed be too limiting to succeed at that point. But alphaness does not depend on sexual orientation. The core of what makes a man a self made leader is not going to change regardless of what gender he prefers. Same with women. Alpha gay male is the same as alpha straight male is the same as alpha bi male. Sexual preference doesn't have anything to do with the definition of alpha.
