"You have male space marines, why can't you have FEMALE space marines!? What are you a misogynist?!' = every fucking argument leftists/feminists make as why we need female counterparts to every MALE group in fantasy and sci fi but no same treatment for any all female group.
Not only are there already female warriors in the Imperium, being a Space Marine is about the only thing they cant be!
They can be soldiers, commanders, and Generals in the Imperial Guard.
They can be sailors, commanders, and Captains in the Imperial Navy.
They are the only ones who can be Sisters of Battle, who through the power of raw faith and willpower are on par with Space Marines on the power scale.
They are the only ones who can be Sisters of Silence, which are an elite unit of soldiers specially adapted to being absolutely OP against psychic users and Daemons due to a genetic mutation that lets them easily cancel out their abilities.
They can be Commissars, Assassins', and other specialist people for the Imperium.
They can be Inquisitors for the Ecclesiarchy, and some of the most famous/important in lore Inquisitors are women.
Literally the only thing that women can not be is a Space Marine or a Custodies (which are just ultra-jacked Marines anyway).
If you ask me, it is because many of the people making these demands are newbs who know nothing of the lore, so some of them probably dont even know SoB are a thing, and want Marines since they are the poster boys.
As for Templin: Sad. Just Sad. I am probably not going to unsub from them, and I still like a lot of their work. But this will absolutely leave a bad taste in my mouth going forward.

It is as dumb as I made it sound...
Its even dumber for another reason:

Thanks for the breakdown.
