You are reaching looking for exceptions...you will will always find exception to any statement. Just in saying \"there are women who act masculine and men who act feminine,\" you have stated that you know this is not usually the case, thereby proving his statement with your exceptions.
Of course there are men and women who don\'t conform to the norms of male and female speech. And just because there are norms does not mean that anyone is not free to act and speak in any manner they desire. Also, the speech iteself is open to opinion as to the dgree of male and female sounding.
But to deny that there is a mainstream \"sound\" as to how males and females would approach a given situation is just being naive. So feel free to continue to strengthen the opposite argument by providing a detailed list of those women that sound like men and vice versa.
And for those that believe that a priest must be soft-spoken and kind, reference the Spanish Inquisition, for example. Another exception that proves the rule.
Generalizations can do harm when used to justify actions, but it does not mean that there is not truth in them.

Every player has use, but don\'t flatter yourself too much. Assuming that you don\'t spawn in Akkaio, if it still takes you an hour to get out from the DR and back to any place in Hydlaa, you should spend more time exploring it until it takes you mere minutes.
