Alright, let's dissect the Imperium with feminist weaponry.
Muh patriarchy because Emps and all the Primarch are male: --
But that's just Emps being retarded and it blows up in his face and in part because he only made dudes (Malcador was right): +
Some form of equality because women can be everything save space marines: ++
But then not space marines, which are the most iconic thing in the Imperium: -
there are actually kick ass women in the series (inquisitors, navigators, captains, commissars): +
But generally one token female per book, doesn't show true equality: -
Sisters of Battle: ++
But they are nuns with guns devoted to the Emperor, a male (aka not owning their sexuality): --
Three first chaos gods are more typically male : -
Slaanesh is as genderqueerfluidtrans as they come: +
But that's is part of zis "degeneracy": -
The Imperium doesn't care if you are gay at all: ++
Women used as "incubators" on some well known grimdark worlds (Kriegers): -
No well worked out matriarchal canon world: -
Life sucks for everyone but no endless mention of rape to make readers understand it sucks a la Game of Thrones: +
Literally pulling this out of my ass at the moment.
It seems fairly balanced so far.
