The first two paragraphs are whatever you want to call it... simping, white-knighting, pandering. It's cringy, but women readers can be vapid idiots who clap like seals for pro-women shit. Who runs the world? Girls! Point made, women happy, moving on with the plot... but hold on Rick's got something more to say. Rick needs to clarify that aboard this spaceship, there are no fatties or cougars. Every woman is young and "physically fit". Furthermore, they're all horny and anxious to get some dick, and have to compete with each other for men like an X-rated game of musical chairs.
Simply put, these are the perverted sexual fantasies of a pathetic high school boy who can't get any interest from the gals. They see pretty girls who they'd like to do things with, but are forced to compete with other guys. You know what would be awesome, thinks the pathetic high school virgin, what if there was a mixup and I got sent to an all-girls boarding school where I was the only guy? Then they'd all be CRAZY for me because there's no other competition! Like most other things in Rick's life, it boils down to power dynamics and how pissy he gets when he isn't in control. In this case, the power that young, physically fit women have to be picky when it comes to choosing sexual partners. I want to bang the hot cheerleader, but so does every other kid in school, so the hot cheerleader has the power to choose the hunky football player over the sensitive "creative" dork with no friends. But what if you could remove all the hunky football players until the hot cheerleader's best option is you? Then Rick would have the power, which would be excellent.
Stick to the facts which are canon as per it's his novel. The 64% female crew are all young and physically fit. Everyone's single, nobody's in a relationship with someone not on the ship. Nobody's lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, "experimenting", asexual, or just plain not interested in getting their puss pounded right now. Oh, except the token LGBT crewmember Broadchurch who hasn't settled on a gender. This fucking spaceship is like a popup ad on a porn site - HOT SINGLES IN YOUR AREA ARE DOWN TO FUCK!!!!! Don't worry - these young physically fit women cooperate, they'd never fight and bicker over the attention of a man. Amber understands if you want to spend tonight with her but tomorrow night with Britney, because you explain to her Amber has a hotter body but Britney has a prettier face. Jesus fucking Christ Rick, watch one episode of The Bachelor, see how much "cooperating" goes on. There's no empathy for women at all, because all women are reduced to is the equivalent of the stepsister who really, really wants to fuck her stepbrother. But porn, erotica, 50 Shades of Grey momporn - all of it has the intention of being deliberately arousing to the consumer, while nobody is reading In the Black to get off. Rick needs to shove in this little tidbit about the "strong incentive" men have to serve on a crew full of young sluts with yoga instructor bodies, when the subtext is obviously "and I want to be one of those men!" We know, bud.
Male feminists like Rick & Seth try their hardest to live by this mantra, and it doesn't work because the Anicas of the world see through your shit every time. First, shame "other" men in an attempt to "remove" them as romantic options, don't sleep with those pigs who don't respect you and only want to use you for sex! Other men don't respect how brave, strong, and independent you are, how you kick ass and are capable of cooperation! But eventually, the creepy little Sex Pest comes out. Guys suck, but I'm not like other guys, so suck me off, please. Pretty please? I'm one of the good ones who values you as a human! They'll nod their head when you talk about how disgusted you are by Louis CK, but then you make your little move - wait after all that, you want to fuck me? Give a college lecture about veganism and end it by eating KFC - yeah meat is murder, but mmm I still indulge!
He ends it by saying "needless to say, everyone was on birth control". First prefacing the statement by saying this doesn't really need to be said, it should be obvious to the reader but he'll say it anyway. That every female aboard the ship is taking medication because they regularly have guys cumming inside them. Not some, not most, everyone. No fatties. Nobody past the expiration date of whatever age Rick no longer considers "young". One token LGBT crew member, nobody else has any interest in vagina. All these hotties, every last one ready and eager to drop their space panties and take a hot load inside em without fear of getting knocked up.
