"Women are demons!"

bouteillebleuI'm just in the middle of rewatching Vandread - an anime series where the "battle of the sexes" is taken to the logical extremes. Men and women live on different planets, and might as well be two different species for all they care. The first line of the series is from a male propaganda video, and is:
"Women are demons!"
or words to that effect.
Anyway, the story involves a crew of female pirates and three men they've captured when they captured the ship they were on, and how they interact while trying to deal with a threat to both their planets. And how they get to know each other, and how some relationships develop... It's a very enjoyable series to watch, as it doesn't fall into the trap that a less sensible series might, of having all the women chase after the men or vice versa. Instead, most of them regard the other sex as rather curious, but probably similar enough that they can be tolerated.
And this is a very long setup just for me to pimp a Vandread fanfic that I like. It's called Research, and involves Duero, the cool-headed (male) doctor, and Parfet, the enthusiastic (female) ship's engineer. Duero puts forward a theory he has, about how men and women might actually be of the same species, and the research that's then discussed is somewhat of a... reproductive nature.
(It's a little floridy written, but a very nice fic if you've seen the series and wanted to see what could happen with these two characters.)
