    The Terran population of the K-Sector is still high enough to allow the use of women in combat. But Protoss are not as prolific as Terrans. They just had 70% of their population on Auir killed. They are also not all warriors. I'm sure at this point most female Protoss are choosing stay-at-home roles as they try to rebuild.

    I think, by the way, that a female Marauder is rather nice idea. It's unusual and would call for a much more different and interesting voice acting than the male version.

    Isn't the mothership female? Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me...

    Yes, it is. It is also the highest tech Protoss unit available, and you can only have one at a time. In times of such severe crisis, it is only logical to keep women out of combat. Just like in our own World Wars.

    If I remember correctly, there was an idea a while back to have female/male Ghost units that spawned randomly, like the Villagers in AoE 2. I wouldn't mind that, but I'm not sure I'd like the female Marauder.

    Firebats? Maybe.
    Marines? Probably not, but wouldn't mind more than one portrait for that unit.
    Raven? Yeah.
    Hellion? Hell yes.

    In addition, I seem to remember a discussion years back over whether there are Female Marines. Someone claimed that females would be too weak, a laughable claim with the abundance of steroids and power armor in StarCraft. Not to mention the existence of female Marines in the novels "Speed of Darkness" and "I, Mengsk".

    I like the idea of occasional female marines and ghosts, not Marauders though.

    Umm you cant make the maurader female. The portrait is black and if you change it then you are racist. Of course you could make it a black female but then your gonna get a whole lot of accusations that you are just trying to fill your quota.

    Wait... wait a minute. There's a black unit in StarCraft II?

    Do you think that gender roles would be non-existent 500 years in the future where females would be regularly employed as heavy assault infantry?
    No, but I'm guessing that when the Zerg Swarm is breathing down your neck, you're not going to give a damn about the gender of the person in the heavy assault armor next to you. If survival means ditching that particular gender role and getting some warm, trained bodies in heavy assault armor, then they're going to do that.
