[edit] Kelly/Chris
This may have been an attempt to avoid gender stereotypes, but the article reads funny having Kelly want to go to the football game and Chris to the opera. Not a major problem, but I think it reads better the other way around.
- I picked the names because they were both gender imprecise, I know at least two of both sexes for each name. Feel free to replace if you wish. Pete.Hurd 23:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- I also know people of both sexes with each name, so even if you can't tolerate women who like sports and men who like opera the change fails to resolve this. If you feel strongly that they should be changed, please change them consistently throughout the article. This edit made the article inconsistent. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 01:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- FWIW, just noticed the article Unisex name. Pete.Hurd 03:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BoS = Bach or Stravinsky?
perhaps we should add a line like, "Some authors like to call this game Bach or Stravinsky, and have the players choose between hearing one or the other composer, in order to avoid any stereotypes that arise by using the title battle of the sexes and having the choices be 'male' and 'female' activities." I think that the article should at least mention the other title, although I'm not sure how much it should go into the politically correctness of one name over another.
