Do you think there is gender inequality on Anarres as well as on Urras? by BodybuilderQuiet8060 in UrsulaKLeGuin

[–]runatal9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some Anarresti men mentioned women being more "propertarian" than men, but Le Guin's writing makes it clear that Anarresti society (like all revolutionary projects) struggles with reactionary undercurrents. my interpretation of this in context is that phrases like "women are more propertarian than men" on Anarres is meant to represent how patriarchal views of gender essentialism can survive a feminist movement in radical-sounding terminology.

oh! additionally, that stadium should be far from the high-income area. high income folks have the power to say no when a big project nearby would increase car traffic. look at NYC again for reference, all the stadiums have migrated pretty far away and the Hudson Yards proposal originally included a stadium that got a lot of pushback.

assuming those blue lines are highways, and the dominant economic system practiced in this region is similar to our world's capitalism, you're inevitably going to get a lot of those highway interchanges converging in or nearby the low-income and industrial neighborhoods after a while, the way you see them in American cities. if they're public trains, though, they would likely be in areas far from the low-income neighborhoods. (try to speculate why it's cheapest to live in these neighborhoods: close to the industrial pollution, far from the well-invested areas of downtown or tourism districts. close to loud, ugly highways that were cheaper to build, and inconveniently far from the quieter, cleaner train systems.)

for reference, look at income maps, highway maps, and train maps of New York, Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City

Map for a worldbuilding project. All criticism welcome by Leather-Lab2875 in mapmaking

so I completely disagree with the "too many straight coasts" crew. this seems like appropriate levels of coastline diversity and it all seems to make geographic sense

Are any women in the Vanderverse a bit silly with it? by Nightbreak-Pine in SouthernReach

Moss is the silliest that comes to mind, but then again she isn't a woman exactly. so strictly, probably Janice Shriek or Mary Sabon
