I am once again watching Buck Rogers

Specifically, the episode with the planet where all the men were captured, so it's just womens trying to get along, oh woes. They kidnap Buck, because clearly, a reasonable solution to the problem of 99% of your men being taken is to kidnap random men and sell them as breeding stock. And Buck is all "Why not just ask for help?" and the daughter of the leader is all, "OH NOES, if anyone knew we have no MANZ we'd be invaded immediately D:" (though I will grant that Buck, who two DVDs ago was going "LOL WOMAN COLONEL" is now, "You have women pilots, right?" just as if womens can fight like MANZ can! I like to consider this a type of growth in his character.) And it does come out that without the MANZ, there just aren't enough women pilots to train replacements, which I can accept as a cautionary tale about letting the men be in charge of things.

But really, the point of this post isn't to talk about very old sci-fi, it is to say: I think it would be LOLarious if someone took the old "remove all the MANZ to cripple the planet" trope, and had it backfire because, well, this is a very traditional planet, where the woman's job is to protect home, hearth, and children while the men are off hunting, exploring, and doing MANLY THINGS, and since the MANZ are all out exploring new planets, "home and hearth" has expanded to include the whole planet. And these traditional women take their job of protecting home and hearth very seriously.

Yes, I am easily entertained.

A question

Is there anything like femgenficathon on DW?

As much as I love when characters get tortured in fic

I have a lot more trouble with it when it's canon. At least, when the canon is picking on Iolaus.
