nemafakei Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 On average, there are more males than females online. Of these, more males are likely to search for, and find, a dune site than females. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Fed2k is mainly males. Furthermore, Dune is technically Science Fiction - which also seems to attract more males than females. Now while very little of dune is the SciFi, even so, the classification means it ends up with more male readers than female. Likewise those attrracted to dune via the games or films.

gryphon Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Some internet polls in the beginning of this month suggested that there are equal or more females online as males. The number of females online has increased in the last years and now they seem to be equall. Due to the introduction of cable and DSL computers ar online 24-7 and you don't have to connect manually. This could be a reason why a lot of woman who are at home most parts of the day now use the internet. And ofcourse you get familliar with computers at a younger age nowedays. So the internet isn't something stricly for "special" groups anymore.But the subject, "is Dune a male thing ?".Havn't got a clue :)[ mayby it is, mayby it isn't ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 No, dune is not a male thing females are welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Saying things like, 'is dune a male thing' is going back to the days when they were counted as a lower specie, like when they couldn't vote. To me, nothing is a male or female thing, just what people prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 There are many things for men, and for women, but it doesn't mean you have to restrict them to one. Dune is Dune is Dune is Dune...is Dune. Dune>Duke>Luke - Starwars? Anyways, women and men are too ungeneral to decide if one would like it more than the other.

Acriku Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 So it is a female thing Duke? Doesn't matter which gender likes it the more, individuals have their own opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guild_navigator Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Not to mention that the series was written in the '60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 There is not a hint of Herbert being sexist, he gives the Bene's powerful abilities, he also lets it be a woman to write a book about Muad'Dib, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Yeah so can we stop with this gender, "PC", "BS" already and continue to enjoy Dune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aribites Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 But how come all the good units are male, like SARDAUKAR and FREMEN!!!!!! Â Everything else is either controlled by men or big ugly aliens (IX). Â SARDAUKAR RULE!!!!!(thank you for your time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 In Dune 2000, the leader of the Fremen was a female. And in the books, Chani plays one of the biggest parts of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quoudam72 Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Read the entire Dune series Arbites not one or two books in the Dune Chronicles. The video game can be a misrepresentation sometimes of F. Herbert's Duniverse. In God Emperor of Dune Leto II even has an all female army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Shogun: Some people may not know about that.For example: In Finland, only Dune and Dune Messiah are published... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
