That was the link! Thanks.

So how did I (and other women) get interested in EQ if the marketting is
all geared toward men? Desire to *be* Firiona? No way. Everyone's
different, but I can't imagine most women would be drawn to her. Think
about the covers of the four boxes. On three of them, Firiona's not even
doing anything. If she were in my group I'd say "Quit standing around,
[explative], and come help us! We've got a battle going on here!" The
one cover she's not just standing around on she's chained up. Great! Just
the person I'd want to play with! Doesn't help the group at all and then
goes and gets herself into trouble and needs to be rescued. Gah! Leave to
the lizard!

Course, that bard on the first box wasn't much better. She was probably
singing, yes, but empty handed? Play or fight, sister!

Or am I starting to need a life more than David Kennerly?

That link was actually used as fodder for this article, and was cited:
