I actually got the idea while watching "The Warriors of Kyoshi, and noticing that of all the villagers we saw in that episode who weren't Kyoshi Warriors, only one of them was a woman. There were plenty of little girls, little boys, and grown men, but I only saw one woman. Ans since A:tLA is consistently good about having an equal number of male and female extras, I started wondering why. Of course it could just be because it's an early episode and they got better on gender parity later, but where's the fun in that? Plus, all the Kyoshi Warriors are young, and led by someone young. High turnover?
I've never actually read the Vorkosigan books. They've been on my too-read pile for years
