I love Gilman's work; the second one I've read from"Twenty Planets." For all the harm to people that gender does, what would happen if you were assigned no gender, and had no reproductive organs? Well, it would cut down on the problems of overpopulation, if a third of humanity were genderless. That could save destruction of the planet. But what if it were a giant eugenics program, and the genderless were used as menials, and were oppressed, cruelly, violently?

Indeed.
“That’s what buzzwords are. Tranquilizers.”
“Thought suppressants, you mean.” (p33)
Insightful.
