Klingon Society, that is...

I was watching an episode of DS9 and noticed a female was awarded the award for the "Rite of the Bat'leth" (or whatever it was called). Are Klingon females given the same types of rights as males? Can they too become Warriors?

DS9 has made the role of females in Ferengi society perfectly clear, but not Klingons.

I have noooo idea what your talking about or I would tell you :confused:

He's talking about Star Trek Deepspace 9. I'm actually an enormous Voyager fan. I am pretty sure that Klingon women aren't allowed on the battlefield as the men are. If allowed on the battlefield, it wouldn't be to fight the men. The best dude to ask around here goes by the username of blud - he claims he speaks Klingon fluently.

Just do a google search for "klingon culture"

Oh goodness lol. In any case, I was informed by blud that I was wrong and that Klingon women are allowed equal opportunities aboard starships.

That pic doesn't look too dissimalar to Dani... lol

So females and males are equal in Klingon Society... Interesting. I didn't bother with a search because (a) I hate wading through several sites to find what I want (b) more fun to post here and get someone else's response.

One of the sites I linked you to did say that women cannot hold positions on the High Council.
