55 - Audio - You learn something new every day

You know what's cool about breaches? I mean sure, the ship is falling to pieces and the Admiral is a horrible driver and in all likelihood we'll eventually crash on some poor unsuspecting planet and it'll be horrible. No, wait, getting off topic there.

Anyway, the cool thing about breaches? I think I know how to ride a horse now. I'm not sure I'll ever get to use the skill again, but hey! I can ride a horse.

[ So she waved a gun around at people. She was pretty damn good at it too. ]

Just one thing. Admiral? Next time can you aim for a hole on the side of an era where women can do something awesome without being looked at funny? Seriously. If it's not risqué dancers and housewives it's saloon girls and school teachers. I'm starting to think you're a little bit sexist.

[ Private to Bruce ]

So how was life as a Deputy? [ You can probably tell she's concerned about the fact that you were armed and dangerous. ]

You could always go home if the conditions here don't meet your exacting standards.

I can assure you, however, that the Admiral doesn't care if you feel slighted because history is sexist.

Who's complaining? Apart from the citizens of the planet we crash on and half of the barge.

You're in cahoots with him, aren't you? You and your sordid love affair with history in patriarchal areas of the world. You know in some cultures the women were in charge.

Cahoots? Did you write that with a straight face, Miss Brown?

...I think I'd best leave this conversation to someone with a background in psychiatric medicine.

You don't know me very well, do you? It's called a sense of humor. It comes highly recommended, you should try it some time.

A sense of humour does not equate to wit. If no one is laughing, you might consider that you aren't funny.

[FIRST TIME SINCE THE BREACH THAT BUFFY'S BEEN ABLE TO FEEL CONNECTED TO SOMEONE. Good job, Steph.] Can I just say I think you're my new favorite person?

It's the horse, isn't it. Chicks dig the horse.

You caught me. [Smiiiile!] Also, pointing out the misogynistic culture of the wild wild west earned you points too.

On the plus side, I think I might be a better cook now. [A beat.] In theory.

You wouldn't believe how many times I was told I was being 'un-lady-like'. Then again, I was the one doing tricks on my horse.

Aw man, you got actually useful skills? I still burn my waffles almost every time.

You did horse-tricks? That's useful. [A beat.] Ish. [NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT ELISABETH SUMMERS. NOPE.] I've totally had guys on horseback trying to kill me. So hey. You never know when it could come in handy.

Like I said... In theory. My usual cooking skills lie somewhere between the art of reheating takeout and putting the cereal box next to the bowl and milk.

Define "sexism".

...Seriously?

Yes.

Uh, it's a form of discrimination based on your gender. Like, women can only have certain jobs and do certain things.

Query: Why?

Further query: Gender differences nontrivial among Users. Males and females show distinct cognitive differences, distribution of muscle mass, size, etc. Optimization of employment on biological basis "sexism"?

[Granted he's one to talk about size and muscle mass, TINY LITTLE PROGRAM.]
