    “Everybody’s always talking about female empowerment,” Cameron said. “But what is such a big part of a woman’s life that we, as men, don’t experience? And I thought, ‘Well, if you’re really going to go all the way down the rabbit hole of female empowerment, let’s have a female warrior who’s six months pregnant in battle.’”

      What would be at the bottom of the male empowerment rabbit hole by this logic? A male warrior who fights despite debilitating blue-balls? A male warrior who has to fight while impregnating his tradwife?

        In dwarf fortress, the dwarves impregnate each-other merely by being in close proximity and I just had a guard captain give birth and then pick up the baby to continue fighting, wielding it as a shield.
