I'm kinda mentally re-reading the SCUM Manifesto but it never does coin a good term that fits what you are looking for.

I don't know where else to look.

Eurgh. SCUM. Aptly named. I'm no fan of hardcore feminists, because if they wanted equality they would be equalitarians rather than the bitches that they are. Don't get me wrong, women suffer, but people who are blind to the manifold sufferings of man deserve to be treated like immigrant nobles.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.

You know its satire, right?

Well, its dead serious about being hardcore feminist nonsense, but its not supposed to be taken too seriously.

Pff. The author only said that after trying to kill Andy Warhol. I reckon she was just trying to pretend so that people wouldn't hate her.

Well, fair enough. It sure seems pretty over-the-top to really be intended as 100$-serious ideological material.

Then again she was batshit insane, so you might have a point.

Back to the issue at hand, what if you get a female Consort with your next replacement Baron? You'd have to wait a whole nother year or so to get another chance to add to the man-harem.

That's why it's a megaproject. :D
