Missing Attachment

Dear Patriarchy

I remember when you were young, hip and subtle. This? Not so subtle.

Given the rest of Quantum Mechanix posters are heavily stylized, and this is the only photo realistic one in the set, and the only one in the set to feature a female figure, it don’t take much to get the other message being sent here. Women are bad, Battlestar Galactica told me so. This is from an official merchandiser for the Battlestar Galactica series as well, so it’s quality assured Patriarchy Produce.
What’s also missing from the poster set is the recognition of the existence of Kara Starbuck. You want to tell me that the ace hotshot pilot in the fleet isn’t a recruiting mechanism worthy of their own poster? Especially as merchandise to sell to the fanbase of the TV series?
