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
