Sounds like you don't really want female armors. You want female costumes and accessories/trinkets. That should be pretty easy to implement, although as others have said, the game currently has no way to enforce genders. You could have females masquerading as males, or vice versa, all the time.
BTW, there are lots of female gamers. The last MMO I played (zOMG) was estimated to be 60% - 61% females, even after subtracting out cross-dressers. Crews were 6 players, and I was often the only male.

Maybe they could make some armors and helms have a feature that allow you to change the style of the armor or helm like in team fortress 2 which is check on the helm or armor like always, then check on the set style buttion and it will bring up a little window on the center of your screen which allow you to choose what style you want and then press the save button on the button right of the hud. it can also work on shields if OOO want to do this idea.
What do you guys think?
Also I wanted to put this out there.
I'm pretty sure the Wiki says that the Knights themselves are gender neutral, though as said above, it's really up to your personal preference and imagination to decide your Knight's gender.
Son....look at the date of post #54. Now look at your posting date. Check the date of post #54 again to make sure it didn't change. Check the date of your post date as well just to be safe.
General rule of thumb: Never necro threads. If the thread is more than a year old, let it die in peace. Takes a special kinda person to go digging through ancient threads on an aged game anyways.
Gamer Gurl Gifting wouldn't be an issue with implementing gender, otherwise Havens would be spammed with /kiss every time someone with pigtails/cat ears/tail/ribbon logged in. The idea that a female character will automatically be hit on seems more of a stereotype than the notion that every gamer is a guy. The only real social issue this could cause is sexist guilds...which really isn't that big of a deal, since we have (near) a 1000 guilds.
On one hand, This would be easily implemented. Make a few contour changes to models/armor, give a new "Male/Female/Undetermined" gender option on character creation.
On the other, we can't even get a gunny update to go through on time.
