not real thrilled with these myself. and why must the male version of most set look like a dragqueen version of the female set. is it to much to ask for masculine options in the sets for those of us the us the male avatars and prefer to look like males that are not in drag. pardon me get on a soap box there,

I'd honestly be happy with any of these but I voted for the motorcycle one. If it doesn't win, please have it back again for the next one. I'd like to mix and match motorcycle theme with space.

To answer both your questions on why there can't be tiny changes done for the male HA's items, to make them more masculine/less feminine:
Aywas in general runs as a site that doesn't conform to the standard gender binary. One of the places this shows is in HA wear, where all items must be the same cut/same item but with HA-form adjustments accepted for both male and female.
This means a cute short hair with sideburns for the male HA, cannot have the sideburns removed for the female. This also means a bra for the female, also has to be a bra for the male.
The first thing that would happen, if the corset for the biker-set was edited to a straight top line for the male HA, was that users would complain about the differences.
Users with female HA's would be upset, that they had to use the lowcut sexy version, while the males got the nice straight lined version. And there'd be users with male HA's, that'd be upset that females got the sexy low cut, while they had to make do with the straight line.
And that's where the sexism complaints would start...

I think, what many people really react to here, is that the biker set is using traditionally male clothing items - cut in a highly feminine way aimed for feminine wear. In a clothing store, you'd find these items in the female department.
Only, while most male HA-users by now has gotten used to see male HA-bases with dresses - and ignore those - now they're getting traditionally male items with a feminine cut. Male HA-users can see how close these items would be to traditional masculine male clothing with almost the same type of items. Clothing they'd like. Yet, clearly isn't cut that way.
So what causing all this upset probably is the feeling of "what could have been" they fell they're loosing out on.

Thank you. And it's fine. I'm gonna put my little rockabilly bunny thing in my shop for Easter. Probably both with some frilly and non-filly versions. So it's gonna get on site. Just... Not as cheap as if it won the contest. ;)
Totally gonna do some super nice rainbow ringlet hair items with this one. the hair if perfect for that. XD

Space one is good

I adore the motorcycle one, but voted for the space-theme, as I think there need to be more HA sets for the males...and I really like it, too.
