OT: Piers Anthony

[Timothy Bruening]

Tim, that response is strange even for you. Would you mind explaining it?

I'll be happy to.

The Bio of a Space Tyrant series is another example where the man's ego

and

sexual perspective are openly horrendous.

Hope even asked his wife to send him a woman!

In book 5, after being ousted as leader of Jupiter, Hope Hurbris is exiled to
Saturn. He then sends a message to his wife (back on Jupiter) asking her to
send him a woman! This is an example supporting the thesis about Piers
Anthony's horrendous sexual perspective.

Megan had separated from Hope at the end of book 3 because she didn't want to associate with the Tyrant he had just become. However, after Hope STOPPED being the Tyrant at the end of book 4, why didn't Hope ever try to get back together with Megan? When Hope sent Megan that "send me a woman" message after his secretary tried to strangle him, why didn't Hope suggest the option of Megan coming to (North) Saturn herself?

North Saturn leader Mikhail Khukov had recruited Hope to lead the project to develop a light projection drive. At the time that Hope first learned of the project, Megan was governing Jupiter, preparing to return it to democracy. Why didn't Hope ask Megan to arrange to commit Jupiter to the project?

After cleaning up North Saturn (Russia), Hope went to Triton (Japan) to recruit its industrial capacities for the light drive project. Why didn't he take a side trip to recruit South Saturn (China)?

Mars (Middle East). Phobos (Israel) has control of Demos (West Bank of Jordan River). Hope arranged for Demos to be returned to Martian control as part of a deal to reserve half of Mars' iron for the project, and thus triple iron prices to make Mars rich again. Why not instead make Demos the independent nation of Palestine?

The iron would be turned into anti-matter and used for energy. Since the anti-matter iron is magnetic, it can be controlled by magnetic fields. This makes iron valuable.

Piers Anthony? I used to like his stuff, but eventually I just couldn't
swallow the man's attitude towards women.
Example "And Eternity" has a scene where two women who are friends are tested
by some unknown being. One of them is turned into a man, and she instantly
rapes the other "because of the onslaught of feelings."
Moral? "Men should be respected for behaving as much as they do."
Puke.
The Bio of a Space Tyrant series is another example where the man's ego and
sexual perspective are openly horrendous.

Hope even asked his wife to send him a woman!

The Xanth series....most of the couples and why they get together also makes me
wanna barf.

Oh please.

If you go down the thread, you will find my explanation about my "Hope asking his wife to send him a woman" remark.
