I'm an argentinean female. It's true that argentinean males aren't that machist, and NGD always were very respectful to their female players, as well as taking them in account and I think that's why this community has such a high number of women.
I think there is a conceptual mistake between being feminine/sexy and to look like a slut, they are totally two different concepts. The game itself has female archer characters that look sexy and can take off their breastplate to look even more slutty, but that's something that players are able to choose if they want to do or not. Women use miniskirts and that's why some members of the female community are asking for them, but nearly none of them walks like a model in a catwalk, and that's because if one of them walks like that all men would be trying to hit on her. Women of Argentina are feminine and tend to smarten up a lot, but they never walk like that in their lives, because if they do they would have a crowd of men staring at her like an easy prey.
When I first saw the walking animation the day before releasing it on the exp server, my first reaction was like 'What a slut!' and then it turned a bit funny, but I did take in account the males of Regnum community and said that with this change we female players will not be able to walk anymore because all the men would try to hit on us more often than they do nowadays.
Everybody knows that ingame women have to cope with drooling men trying to hit on you and you could figure out that by yourself making a female character with a female name and just leveling it for 2 days. Many men choose to make a female char to use them to get gold, items and other stuff taking advantage of the other horny men. And if that isn't true, then why the 'Buitre señal'?
In my opinion, if it's not necessary to walk at all in game like you said, then why did you actually changed the animation? This walking animation will just make us female players to be more molested by male players.
