  • Values Dissonance: The all-female society is described positively as practicing eugenics by excluding any woman who has "defective" traits and they lack any sexual desire due to developing parthenogenesis. For them, the only possible purpose of sex to women is reproduction, so any other reason baffles them. This reflects views at the time, when eugenics was very popular and women didn't (or at least shouldn't) care about sex, only being mothers.
