In 'Star Trek', although there are female characters, the main leadership and decision - making roles are often held by male characters like Captain Kirk. They are the ones driving the plot forward through their actions and decisions.
The 'Foundation' series by Isaac Asimov also shows male domination. The main scientists and political leaders in the story are mostly male. They are the ones formulating grand plans and solving the complex problems of the galactic empire, while female characters have relatively minor parts.
In 'Dune' by Frank Herbert, the main hero Paul Atreides is male. He is the central figure in the power struggle, with his male - centric journey of self - discovery and conquest being the focus of the story. Female characters are more in the background, either as supporters or as part of the political intrigue surrounding the male characters.
Male domination in science fiction has historical roots. In the past, the male - centered society influenced the creation of science fiction. Male characters were more likely to be portrayed as the ones with intelligence, courage, and the ability to handle complex technological and scientific concepts. This not only limited the representation of women but also created a narrow view of what a hero or a protagonist in science fiction could be. With the rise of feminism and a more inclusive society, the situation is slowly evolving.
I'm not aware of any widely - known mainstream examples of lesbian domination fan fiction as it is a very niche area. However, within certain fan fiction communities dedicated to exploring LGBTQ+ themes, there may be some works that have gained a following, but they are not generally well - known outside of those specific communities.
One example is '1984' by George Orwell. In this novel, the Party has complete domination over the people. Another is 'The Hunger Games' where the Capitol dominates the districts. Also, 'Lord of the Rings' has elements of Sauron trying to dominate Middle - earth.
In many volunteer groups, male and female members work together towards a common goal like helping the homeless or protecting the environment. They respect each other's ideas and skills, and their relationships are based on equality and mutual respect.
Some science - fiction movies also touch on this theme. For example, in 'The Stepford Wives' (in a more metaphorical sense), the women are being turned into a certain 'ideal' of femininity, which can be seen as a form of transformation. It makes us think about the expectations and limitations placed on women in society, and how far - fetched but also relevant such a transformation concept can be in a science - fiction context.
Domination fiction is a genre of fictional works that often involves themes of power, control, and one entity having dominance over others. It can be seen in various forms like in some science - fiction stories where a powerful alien race dominates humans, or in certain fantasy tales where a dark lord dominates a kingdom.
The 'Star Trek' franchise also has elements of discrimination. For instance, there are species that are initially treated with suspicion or less respect due to their appearance or cultural differences. However, the series also promotes the idea of overcoming such discrimination through understanding and cooperation.
One well - known example is 'Fahrenheit 451'. In this dystopia, books are banned and burned because the government wants to control people's thinking. Firemen are not there to put out fires but to start them by burning books.
In some science fiction, Krakatoa might be the location of a secret alien base. The aliens are attracted to the unique geological features or the powerful energy sources that were awakened during the eruption. They use the area to conduct experiments or as a staging ground for an invasion. For instance, they could be harnessing the residual volcanic energy for their advanced weapons or technology.
In '1984' by George Orwell, the Party gaslights the citizens. They constantly rewrite history, making people doubt their own memories. For example, if someone remembered a certain event one way, the Party's revised version would make them question their sanity. Another is in 'The Matrix'. When Neo first starts to realize the truth, the agents try to make him think he's crazy, denying the reality he's starting to perceive.
