CORRECTIONS:
- Heinlein’s Navy isn’t all female, the positions of starship pilot were prioritized for women.
- during the lead-in to the Fanon part I say “Juan Rico” when I meant to refer to Ramon Magsaysay-likely the inspiration for the character
- I fail to mention that the 3rd act of Stranger in a Strange Land is about Smith founding a sex cult
- I also don’t mention the 2nd alien race from the book, The Skinnies, because they seemed pretty irrelevant to the topic
- I didn’t show enough of Michael’s cats. So sorry.
