"Example 4: A member of the fairer sex has said this to you.
Solution 4: Rate her on a scale of 1 to 10; if she passes your acceptable mark, toss the book and spend the money on a date.
Example 5: No seriously, a female asks you this question.
Solution 5: In my opinion, we can't have enough female gamers, and their numbers are low.

I'm really not sure how to take this. I became slightly less inclined to take the first bit as a jolly jape once the word "thespian" was used - slip showing, I think.
And, preserving my nitpicking reputation, "explain to the players that all characters are not expected to survive the game" means that NO characters are expected to survive and is probably a bit of a turn-off!
