Courtesy of tinderblast and the CI thread on TWoP, we have a mini-essay on the Bene Gesserit as Fangirls.

I laughed and LAUGHED when I read what they actually were. Seriously, I thought that perhaps 'Bene Gesserit' was a particularly scary pre-teen and was hoping to find out more about her legensary powers for organising the teen vote ... but the real BG were even better. The parallels went even further, but the post was long enough.

Have you read the books?

Having read all of the Dune novels but one, I must say...

true! It's all true! We are revealed!!!! Run for the hills!

LOL, that was too good. :-)

I read Dune on a whim a month or so ago (I was downloading something over my dial-up connection, if I recall correctly, and needed something to pass the time). At the time, since I'd just been reading Bujold, the Bene Gesserit reminded me more of the Cetagandan haut ladies.

*lol*, yes, the parallels to the fangirl are funny! Whomever first made that connection is one clever person.
