So here's my thought for game fodder: if female agency is evil, what does that mean about "good" and "evil" in the setting? Seems like interesting play fodder, at least.

By "older groups" do you mean older players or groups that have been around a while?

Older as in age of players.

Uncritically, it maps to a lot of pulp fantasy, particularly in sidekick/love interest/villainess roles in pulp fantasy. Critically, things like Artesia, Cry for Dawn, or Kevin Taylor's Girl porn comic series would fit. Hellboy would also be interesting to look at in that light.

Media-aside, it definitely makes for interesting play regarding stuff like "Protection from Evil", Evil artifacts, and Helm of Alignment Change. Gender change magic could also have some interesting alignment effects.

Oh, man, yeah, alignment switching.

Damn.
