there is also some serious exploitation of females in the dune universe. the bene lleilax turned their woman into axlotl tanks. axlotl tanks had once been women who turned into a baby factory. they were used to make the face dancers and later they even were able to produce spice. but they were essentially lobotomizing their women and turning them into giant uterus es (or uterii?) talk about being sentenced to hell! a never ending existence of child birth.
