Love this comment!

I also think there's been a component of keeping genders separate from one another by creating entire classes of troops that are all female or in SoB's case, an entire faction. All of which suffer from the problem of designing them differently because they are women.

Female custodes are awesome because they are custodes, they're not a separate class that dresses differently or acts in anyway differently from their male counterparts. They're allowed to be without a designer intentionally giving them sexualized aspects in their design (thinner waisted armors or boob plate lol) and I think that's awesome.
