- Ah, clearly Lessa sweeping out the fireplaces in Ruatha Hold is a prime
- example of the empowerment of those of the feminine persuasion. Quite
- naturally, the fact that Fax keeps I don't know how many ladies around
- his quarters is, in reality, a bitingly ironic comment by Anne designed
- to throw Fax into sharp contrast with the rest of Pern, an effect
- heightened by the fact that F'lar treats the whole business as if doing
- so was a COMPLETELY NORMAL OCCURANCE! They are, of course, in reality
- all there of their own free will, and are, in fact, keeping Fax around
- only as a male figurehead for their own nefarious purposes of global
- conquest and world economic domination! Such radical, visionary
- feminism, how daringly imagined and yet so subtly presented as to have
- escaped the notice of every other reader of McCaffrey's work on the face
- of the planet! Accept the eternal, unwavering gratitude of my unworthy
- self for having opened my eyes to the truth behind Anne's words! Such
- knowledge was not destined for a lowly one such as myself, but thanks to
- your wisdom I see all clearly.

- Aiieeeee! Nay, say it is not so! Surely none shall dare to flame the
- possesor of the mighty FLAME_PROOF flag, however ignorant of the One True
- Nature of the Word of Anne or led astray by foolishly modern notions of
- women's place in society they may be. So sing hallelujah, brothers and
- sisters!

- Exactly! What perfection! What coherent, logically argued, rigorously
- proven proof! And such a consistent, easily portable argument, too --
- now, yes, finally, at long last, I can easily and coherently argue that
- my own predisposition for fatherhood has NOTHING TO DO with my sex, but
- is instead entirely grounded in my upbringing. At last the reason Carl
- Lewis could beat Florence Griffith Joyner in the 100 meters with the
- Dallas Cowboys defensive line tied to his back become clear -- clearly,
- oh, with crystalline lucidity I see now that it is all due to his
- upbringing as a boy, encouraged to play sports, and is absolutely, nay,
- UNARGUABLY beyond the influence of such trivial factors as his sex. I am
- ashamed, yes, MORTIFIED to be even seen as responding to a post of such
- obvious good sense, for fear I may be seen as the LOWLIFE RADICAL
- NEO-FASCIST PINKO-COMMIE FEMINIST SCUM I truly am!
-
- > Anyway, if women want to claim the 'ggod' things as related to sex,
- they better
- > damn well accept all the bad things.
-
- OH, BLESS ME, BROTHER, FOR I HAVE SINNED! I have sinned in my heart and
- committed the unimaginable crime of thinking it appropriate for women to
- claim any area of superiority over men! And I have compounded this sin
- by allowing them to say so in a public forum without immediately offering
- a gratuitous denigration of their sex for the amusement of the crowd!
- Oh, save me, Brother, come and save my soul before I burn in that
- unimaginably horrid feminist hell reserved for those who think it's OK
- for women to say "We're better at this!"
-
- > Just my bit to get flamed for awhile. =) I miss it.

- Consider yourself chastened.
