<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Marco Farfarer''' is a warrior [[Kung]] who, for reasons of religion and culture, ended up being brought up on [[Real Earth]] by kindly well-meaning foster parents. <br />
<br />
This was an uneasy mix, as male Kung are not beset by the sort of concerns about "finding their feminine side" that can bedevil thoughtful and internally confused human males.<br />
<br />
You could explain to Marco all about "gender politics" and "political correctness" and the notion of the "Real Man", and he might look puzzled for a moment but then understand them as abstract purely intellectual concepts which have no direct relevance to him. For male Kung are, shall we say, 100% male with no doubts or hang-ups or gender issues. A Real Kung makes [[Cohen the Barbarian]] look like a house-husband, and has much the same effect on a certain susceptible kind of human female. <br />
<br />
Which makes being stranded on an alien Discworld (no, not THAT one) with two forthright and self-assertive females ([[Kin Arad]] and [[Silver (Strata)|Silver]]) something of a trial...<br />
<br />
==(Reverse) Annotation==<br />
<br />
This sounds suspiciously like the biography of the Klingon Worf in '''Star Trek: The Next Generation'''. Abandoned by his parents, brought up by kindly foster-parents on Earth, but a member of a warrior race of which even the ''female'' members exude machismo from every pore. This is even before you consider male Klingons...<br />
<br />
[[Book:Strata|Strata]] was written in 1981. This contributor first saw episodes of '''Star Trek:TNG''' around 1987, in the form of imported American tapes screened at his university.<br />
<br />
Is it possible this could be a reverse annotation?<br />
