I didn't push the point, but the impression I got was a watered down version of the "pandering" argument. Like "female characters are pandering to female fans" but instead of complaining about the pandering it was more "I think it's neat they get to have someone to play with too". Not strictly misogynistic, more misguided, does that make sense?
Then again, I can't really speak for how that would actually come across with women.
There are also the Banshees! Female-only Eldar warriors, highly mobile, lethal in Melee and with a piercing warcry inducing fear, heralds of doom and grief... I don't quite know how to feel about the fact that the second prominent all-female force is defined by screeching, but like I said, I can't comment on the female PoV.
No gender roles, only Dakka, and if they stare at your chest it's because they're admiring the gun strapped across it.
I can see the appeal.
I never really had to think about that, but it makes sense. Personally, I like the Mechanicus where your biology is mostly irrelevant anyway.
