      “Do not put your dick in it, Holden. It’s fucked enough already.”

      You can literally put every one of her lines on a wall in a frame. As long as no children are around to read them

      Shohreh Aghdashloo is so cool. Every time I play Mass Effect 2 or 3, I always get stoked for the quarians. Her voice definitely lives rent free in my head.

      I just became increasingly attracted to raspy voiced women, honestly.

      IMO One of the best Science fiction shows of the last few decades. Each season just got better and better. The quality of writing, the well rounded characters, the budget, the acting… It all went so well. Great shows like this require catching lightning in a bottle, and dang they must’ve had a helluva bottle cuz it’s chock full a’lightning

    I just started the TV series. I’m on the last audiobook currently. I sure hope the series is as good as the books.

      The last season is shortened and they skipped the final book. Other than that, it’s basically the same.

      Oh, and they changed which one of the main characters died because he was a sleaze towards the female fans.

      • @gmtom

        They didn’t skip any books, they just stopped before the final trilogy. Which makes a lot of sense.

        Are you referring to Draper? I hope they didn’t kill off Amos, he’s pretty big in the story.

          He’s off a bit there. They stopped the show with the end of Book 6, right before the time jump for Book 7. So they didn’t make the final 3 books into the show. There’s hints and foreshadowing for them.

          Also the books don’t directly correlate with seasons until Season 4.

          • Book 1: Season 1 and first half of Season 2
          • Book 2: Second half of Season 2 and first half of Season 3
          • Book 3: Shortened and only the second half of Season 3.
          • Book 4: Season 4
          • Book 5: Season 5
          • Book 6: Season 6 (but only 6 long episodes)

      Yeah it’s great. A little different like most adaptations but the writers of the books are on set EPs and directed a couple of episodes.

      I’m the opposite; I’ve seen the show a few times, but just started Leviathan Wakes. I’m liking it so far.

      It’s not bad but I remember it getting worse over time before I eventually dropped it. If you read the books you might stick around, but I didn’t.

    Feminism is about allowing equal access to choices for all, including men, doesn’t matter who you are.

    If you’re a post-menopausal woman and all you want to do is rear grandkids that’s just as valid a choice as a post-menopausal woman deciding she wants to run for public office. Depends on who you are, and what you want to do.

    If you’re talking about constructing social hierarchies based on biology, then only women should be in power because the future can only come from them, ie kids. Sperm is cheap and available in vast quantities, eggs are a precious commodity.

    So please no, egalitarian frameworks, ie not discriminating based on sex or gender, are the only social frameworks which ensure optimal self-actualization for current and future community members

      That’s just the point of this post. It’s pointing out, that post menopausal women can have more than one purpose depending on what they choose to do with their lives.

      It doesn’t say the only purpose. I think you missed that.

      Except said biology gives men the physical strength to remain in power ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Maybe, but strength isn’t the only biologically-driven determinant factor which helps with attaining power. See Cleopatra and Caesar.
