Is Dune a male thing?

[quoudam72]

OK Ligic thanks for reminding us about the difference in where Dune was published and not published in it's entirety.

[nemafakei]

Does it matter which gender reads Dune more? It's like a poll on whether more dune readers have brown hair or not.

[quoudam72]

Really it doesn't matter but Ligic reminded me about something that I had forgotten about how some people view Dune.

[Dunenewt]

Arbites hasnt read ne of the dune books

Harkonnen r Finnish!!!

[Aribites]

Ok, so if some Fremen are female, all the amazin' units like SARDAUKAR are male!!!!!

(Come 2 my forum on Emporer Battle For Dune' if u wanna vot 2 see who iz better, Sardauker or Fremen)

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

So male r better soldiers?

Leto II had different opinion about that...

[quoudam72]

And I do not totally agree with what Leto II said about that subject.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Dunenewt: So Harkonnen are Finnish eh... and then I guess that your a genius.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Male and Female are both equal. Besides, In war the Female's take care of the wounded.

[Acriku]

Men and women are definitely not equal dude. There are too many variants and too many factors.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Well, it all depends. Who knows witch gender do you command in campaign

*Catherine, the Hark Commander* ;D

[Dunenewt]

i know im a genius

[Dunenewt]

dune is definiatley not a male thing, some females are even more religious about dune than us!!!

wot do u mean

explain

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Your not a genius if you think that.

And DAA means just what he posted.

[Acriku]

I think he means that is not a male thing, because there are some women who like it more than men.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Oh yeah the difference of a Female is.

Atreides Female's are more Emotional Then the Male Atreides.

They can Scream the sand's out.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Some people like Dune very much, some like Dune, some don`t like Dune. It not depends on gender.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Indeed.  Although I like drawing Female's of Dune in Manga style *wink wink* lol  ;D

[The_old_worm]

For any female that feels alienated by Dune, I suggest that you read Heretics and Chapterhouse you'll love them. The Bene Gesserit and the Honored Matres are the two most powerful groups in the universe.  Honored Matres have super-quick reflexes and can kick anyone's ass, and enslave men with their sexual prowess.  There are two major male characters; Miles Teg, and Duncan Idaho, But Idaho is a captive of the Bene Gesserit, and Miles Teg is under their service.  The story line is great and, personally, Chapterhouse is my favorite in the series.

[The_old_worm]

oops, I forgot about the Face Dancers from the scattering, they are mysterious, but also one of the most powerful if not the most powerful.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

What will happen if the "matres" victim's "Doesnt" go with females but rather goes out with "males"  ;)

lol  :)

[Dunenewt]

Face Dancers r hermaphrodites

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Who said they aren't?

[The_old_worm]

What will happen if the "matres" victim's "Doesnt" go with females but rather goes out with "males"

[Morden]

its quite amusing how people think the sardaukar were top dogs,

if you remeber even at the height of the sardaukar 1 on 1 they werent a match for a bene gesserit,

the BG remained some of the best fighters in the universe for near 25'000 years thats more than any other, and with the honored matres they are even more powerful than before,

the fremen, they were good but what made them even better was bene gesserit fighting techniques.

if anything dune is one of the most female orientated books of this kind
