In Response To: Re: Yes (UNSC_Trooper) : Karen Traviss was a relative unknown... until she wrote Republic Commando : and Gears of War . "This troper is bothered by the bizarre 'breeding farm' theories circulating about Seran women. It is true that within the Gears universe (specifically the comic), there is both misogyny and references to women being sent to 'farms'. But the concept of a breeding farm is more Epileptic Trees than anything. During wartime, plenty of societies will put women to work in munitions factories and on ordinary food farms (hey, soldiers need to eat). Where did the concept of a 'breeding farm' even originate? * Karen Traviss' abortion of a novel spawned the idea. This is the same novel where the Locust ignore a strategically critical food equipment convoy to kill the half-dozen Gears protecting it, as apparently killing a squad of Gears is more important than starving out all of Jacinto. Yeah. " Thats from TVTropes, btw
