One of the most pernicious bits of the fictional world is that all the claims about feminism in the world are claims about pre-genocide Colonial Life; the fleet is obviously less than feminist.
This is a problem because it implies that feminism is some kind of luxury, that works in a post-industrial world, but in extremis, it's back to rigid gender roles, or at least "masculine acts are effective, feminine acts are to be mocked".
