Gender imbalance, yes. There were no women leading the resistance, which is ridiculous. That's why I'm saying that I'm bitter Lauroslin wasn't more involved in it. My point was that you're saying that you think the Kacey storyline is sexist because you wanted Kara to be in the resistance. But those are 2 separate issues that shouldn't be causal.
And don't you think there's a bit of misogyny in the fact that they used a motherhood storyline to basically "break" Kara and have her accept Leoben's brainwashing to some extent (what with the handclutching in the hospital)? .... I can't imagine them, for example, using Lee's fear of parenthood (as explored briefly in Black Market) against him in a similar scenario to this
Hm, I do see your point. But it's a good storyline. Am I missing something if I suggest that perhaps Lee's character is the one that loses out in this gender bias, rather than Kara's?
