I like the thought here of making water more accessible but also more risky. Possibly introduction water purifying tablets on random drops like around the log cabins etc?

So, the militia...any goals for when (if) the multiplayer is released?
I have played a few run throws now and though there are some basic level illness tweaks, how interested would people be in a mod or some such that took this to a new level?
Introducing certain conditions and requirements for medications. I have drunk out of toilets and eaten raw food stuffs that would normally require cooking without any truly detrimental effect.
Could we have parasites, bacterial or viral infections? Maybe random vomiting if infected that can give you away by noise to localised zombines. Reduced carrying weight etc.
Potentially have specific cures such as antibiotics for bacteria, antiviral compounds, stomzach calming drugs etc.
I love survival simulators and think this would add a new strain to the experience.
1: Wage Gap- I think it is a fairly widely recognised fact that pay grades for similar roles can differ not between gender but also within gender. The confident extrovert may achieve a higher salary for the same role as an introvert with fairly similar work output. Alot of the time, the woman's right to maternity leave can damage that wage catch up. The majority of women may wish to have a child at some point in their adult career (40 weeks pregnancy) with maternity of up to 11 weeks prior to due date (UK law). I myself as an employer am hesitant to imply women in their mid 20 ins long term relationships due to the fact that alot of my employees have done it (it is in my experience, not definite fact). I think in a nutshell, wage gaps are down to more then just gender but the male female divide is definitely a top end factor.
2. Rape culture I think that we definitely still, in the modern world (even first world communities) have pockets of people with the mentality that woman are a the lesser of the species. In the UK, it was fairly common, especially in the north to view women as utilities by some. Domestic violence and sexual assault even in marraige was considered common practice. It was frowned on sometimes, but only as much as excessively drinking on a night out or owing someone money etc. I know the middle east is seen as terrible for the debasement of women but i think that the mentality of thinking of women as lesser isnt geographical, merely substantiated in severity by local law enforcement. In the UK, assault, rape and murder is illegal however certain points in foreign laws allow honor killings or marital rights enforcing that violation of women's rights is a legal and 'right' thing to do. Slowly, alot of these countries are starting to remove many of the (in my opinion barbaric' practices but not soon enough sadly.
3. Abortian rights: Wow...now we are into seriously ethical balance territory. Sadly you didn't have a 'both' option as i believe these both apply. I believe that up to the legal point of abortion is is a woman's right, after that point it is human rights AND the woman's rights to consider. Having a close family member working for the BPAS (British pregnancy advice service) conducting late term abortions, you gain a keen understanding on some of the scnarios for late term abortions. 13 year olds raped by stepfathers and to scared to come forward early term....or council house delinquents that use it as a form of contraception... Its an ethical grey zone that is hard to define and when you through in religion...well...what a mess.
Overall, I think feminism is a questionable enterprise. My fiance of 5 years if a feminist by admission and strives for equality but also recognizes that many right wing feminists or 'extreme' feminists are not campaigning for equality but for the superiority of women and demasculination of men. I think that we need to understand that as a species we are equal and deserve the same legal rights but down to a chromosomal level we are not the same and need to come to terms that both genders are dominant in certain ways that compliment one another. I know some women don't like men that are stronger same as some men don't like woman who are emotionally expressive (stereotypes i know, but just examples) but to me, a balanced relationship is one that recognises and fixes each others weakness with the others strength.
This is only my opinion and i am always open to counter debate so please, feel free to poke holes, question and chat!
