Broshep

The fact that advertising for Mass Effect 3 included “FemShep” as well as “BroShep” was significant for many fans.

While BroShep displays obliviousness to issues of "reproductive rights and control over the female body," FemShep expresses solidarity with the female Krogan, Eve, indicating there are some galactic power struggles only FemShep can truly understand.

There is little deviation between the FemShep and BroShep scripts for the romance with Liara, which positions Commander Shepard as an experienced soldier (and lover) pursuing the naïve, reticent academic.
