I’ m trying to follow the logic of the Slate/io9 discussion but it eludes me.
Portrayal of militaristic wymmen and breast feeding men misses the point, if any.
Rather like the ovary encumbered wanting to be Xtian priests, or gays wanting to be Xtians.
WTF would anyone with two spare neurons to connect want to be Xtian?
Sorta like the old Oz joke – the shearers have been working like trojans all week and, come Saturday are all scrubbing, shaving & buffing so the “new chum/Pom” thinks theyre off to see the shielas of negotiable affection in town a hundred miles away.
Instead they all rush for the yard of, as yet, unshorn jumbucks. When he asks “why’s everyone running?”, the old ringer sez “Well ya don’t want an ugly one do ya?”

Well I wrong about that one. Sigh.
Not necessarily…(as shocking as that moment was)…it could still be!
