    I am no expert but the mermen out there don't wear seashells.

      My wife refused to buy a whole series of mermaid lamps because they had such shells. We now have a lovely mermaid lamp in one corner of the living room that does not have shells.... It gets a lot of positive comments.

    How else would orcs, faeries and merpeople reproduce? And werewolves don’t spread through a bite to the penis so anyone could be turned.

    I’ve never heard of there not being female orcs and werewolves or not being male mermaids and fairies

      LOTR doesn't seem to have female orcs make an appearance, and Tolkein literally invented orcs.

        We only see or read about the orc warriors in Tolkien’s stories though, the women might be just as ugly as the men so they’re unidentifiable. Or, because they were purposefully created, they might just be an unsexed, one-off, creature as a slave race. Also, Tolkien’s orcs were “made” from corrupted elves I believe, which were both male and female.

        We can only hope and pray we see some orc pussy someday, in gods name amen

        But all of the orcs seen in Lord of the Rings were warriors. The female orcs were probably doing something else.

    They are mythical creatures, no one cares, just grow up.

    • No, YOU don't care. And what? Do you think these mythical creatures were invented by kids or something?

        Apparently you are the latter with a k, I give you a pass. And yes most of the near 8 billion people on Earth don't care about fictions other than as a source of entertainment, grow up, face the real hardship of life and see there are way bigger issues.

          "don't care about fictions other than as a source of entertainment" Why do you think the question was asked?

          "grow up, face the real hardship of life and see there are way bigger issues." "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly." - C. S. Lewis

    Kind of. I suppose in theory their has to be right? But I can't see a male "merMAID" often appearing in literature.

      Exactly. C'mon, op...if there wasn't girl mermaids & boy mermaids, then there wouldn't be baby mermeeple...merbmies...mermildren...

      Seriously, though. This question is some straight up nerd shit. I can't believe this is what other humans spend their days thinking about.

          Oh, well, my apologies! I was very perplexed about how the orcs would have orclettes without lady orcs.

    Well it's because they portray the strong traits of their sex. Brutality and strength for men and beauty and cunning for women. Of course you can write whatever werewolf sex you want, just traditionally the meanings behind the beasts were of projections of the traits that best suited per sex.

      Mermaids are specifically female. The general term is merfolk, and a male is a merman.

            Is cool, I just assumed they were all women.

    Werewolves depend on whether one was cursed/infected. Gender doesn't affect the outcome.

    Orcs depending on where you look will say one of a few different things ranging from, yes there being female orcs to male orcs having to resort to forcibly breeding with females of other races to continue their species.

    Fairies, from all mythology I've heard of are either non-gendered and come into being from natural magic building up in the world or are all females.

    Mermaids, are theorised to only be female hence the theories that they abduct sailors. Breed and sometimes eat.

      I've seen fairies depicted as male in mythology.

    Sex is only social construct. When I am in bed I act as male towards female. But when I shop for a new phone or a car or any diverse item I often choose same as women.

      The argument is that gender is a social construct. Sex is biological.

      It's called being indecisive.
