Line 49:
* The past is treated this way in ''[[Time Scout]]''. [[Qurac]] is explicitly called as much. The downtimer Muslim cult is presented as rabidly misogynistic, especially hating the revived worship of Artemis because it has a female deity.
* ''Ape and Essence'' by Aldous Huxley has a post-apocalyptic dystopian society whose [[Religion of Evil]] labels women as vessels of the Unholy Spirit and breeders of filth. If they give birth to deformed babies (which they usually do), they are brutally whipped and their babies are ritually sacrificed to Belial.
* In ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', we never see a female dwarf. Ever. They're not even described. Fans to this day are in disagreement over whether female dwarves have beards.
**Actually [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] may have felt awkward with female characters. They are certainly less often described then male and when they are they sometimes come out in an idealized way. There are certainly no females in the Fellowship though several end up marrying and having children as a sort of retirement package.
* Though averted in the canon ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' series, a plot in one roleplay is about a 'pseudoclan' (group of loners who are structured much like a Clan) called SkullClan which is basically this.
