Recently I have watched the episode Deliverance
and
was surprised to see how sexist it was! Worse than Power, even! What do other people think?
I think the difference between the two is that Deliverance, whilst betraying the sexist mindset of its author, is not actively promoting a misogynistic agenda, whereas Power is.
No, sorry Neil but Deliverance is far more misogynistic than Power. In Deliverance Meegat is totally 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 metaphor and once the gene bank is launched Avon leaves her, to die presumably.
