Misogyny? In a series of books where almost all the major protagonists are women? Hmm... we may need to chat about this... I mean there are definitely some aspects of it in the Weyr/Hold/Hall culture, but the books seemed always to me to be about those people breaking with those thoughts. I mean, OK, the rutting dragons taking the control of the sex away seems a bit misogynistic, but...

Tyler seems like he might be too young for the role of Robert, though I guess that depends on the relative ages of the rest of the cast...
