In Response To: lol feminism (Cody Miller) Most of what's wrong with this article is that they consistently point out how Dare outranks all the other characters, and is still pretty much thrown to the side most of the time. I think the reason for this has nothing to do with her being female, but that she's ONI. I've always kind of gotten the feeling that, throughout all the games and novels, ONI spooks are always kind of looked down on and their orders are usually taken grudgingly. The author's problem with the squad's disrespect for Dare really stems more from the fact that their chain of command just got fusked, and no one likes it when some high-and-mighty comes in and just throws all the other plans out the window. Dare: "Replacements?"
Here, the author tries to make it sound like Buck is making a remark about the squad listening to him because he's the man, when really he's referencing the fact that his soldiers are going to be more loyal to their usual CO than some intelligence officer. And the author keeps making points about how Dare is too weak, and that she's always in need of help. Even though she's a Navy Captain, I doubt Dare has really been in much combat. She's an intelligence officer, not a regular ODST. Why wouldn't she want Buck to come rescue her in the first mission? Especially if it's specifically stated that her pod was stuck closed. Throughout the article, I kept replacing Dare's image with Colonel Hoffman from Gears of War. If it was him stuck inside the pod, would anyone really be making remarks about how weak he came off as?
