No, sorry Neil but Deliverance is far moremisogynistic than Power. In Deliverance Meegat istotally subservient to Lord Avon. She's incapable of launching the rocket herself and requires a man to do it. The rocket is nothing more than a crude metaphorand once the gene bank is launched
Avon leaves her, to die presumably.
I saw Meegat as a joke intended largely to humanise Avon. The more misogynistic part of the episode was Jenna's capture and her inability to escape without rescue from three men.
