Lady Killer

Does ranking up the perk increase it's effectiveness in persuading females? Or is the basic perk the only one needed for speech?

yes it IS sexist and no idk why it gets a pass

That is exactly what the perk description says, so I would imagine so.

You can see the differences by pressing Alt to look at the next rank's effect.

Pretty much this.

I'm honestly unsure if it works correctly (it seems like it does after having used this perk in 2 different playthroughs), but the description says that it increases chance to persuade as well as damage done to the opposite sex w/ each rank.

I'd agree with you.
If not for Black widow [fallout.wikia.com]

On to OPs question: Rank 1 improves speach, rank 2 and 3 only help with the intimidation perk (as far as I know)

However, having 4-5 charisma and then using a hat, glasses and clothing to boost charisma (get the clothing from trinity tower quest for 3, and get a wig or newsboy cap for 1 and black rimmed or fashionable glasses for 1) will give you 9-10 charisma, which should guarantee success on almost if not all speech checks in the game.

You know there's a female equivalent, right?

But wait, that doesn't fit the narrative, does it?

I don't see how any of the perks are sexist, considering they all have gender-specific analogs (Action Boy / Girl, Lady Killer / Black Widow, etc).
