I'm lazy and tired so I'm not digging through drama. But it's an Alphabet thread a out bullying in 40k and how everyone's fascist. It's in there.
Women will never be space marines
This thread has some drama
Including someone who doesn't understand the lore at all. Space Marines have no sexual urges due to the transformation process.

The process of creating a space marine is poorly understood in 40k, and was only marginally better understood in 30k. Getting the process to work with female physiology is probably possible in this fictional universe but since the only guy who figured out how to make it work with male humans is dead anyway it isn't gonna happen. The only way I can see for this to happen is for
to have her say in the matter. She loves 
s.
Also Night Lords are implied to be capable of committing r*pe as a weapon of terror.
Disclaimer I have never once played warhammer I just have no friends who will do low intensity cardio with me so I listen to the books. It's profoundly pathetic and I should keep myself safe.

Is that a book or part of the franchise or you referring to in canon years?

In canon years. You can see it with the Space Wolves, they understood Astartes creation well enough to attempt to turn older men into Space Marines. But obviously it didn't always work - look at Kor Phaeron, for example. Failure rates in 40k are much higher.

30k is set 10k years before 40k. It's about the great war between humans when the emperor of mankinds favorite warlord son (hours) turned to the settings version of Satan and heck.

That's not right. It was super detailed back in one of the old space marine codexes. But all the new cute twinks didn't play back then so have no idea.
What wasn't understood was geneseed creation. That's why apothecary's had to harvest it in battle. Every geneseed was sacred.

I was definitely not around then, back when orks had rokkas. I also don't play the game ever. Never have, probably never will. Just really like the setting. I do like how weird the old lore was, and it amuses me how the setting lends itself to both absurd comic relief and to grim darkness.

I listen to podcasts while I'm on the treadmill.
That's more brainless than sci-fi books imo

I've been listening to Swindled lately. I listen to Hardcore History when new eps come out. I also occasionally listen to Last Podcast on the Left when they talk about aliens or history related things.

It's been canon that they can (or could when they understand things instead of just neurodivergentally memorizing blueprints) make female
Space 
Marines for a few years now since the Fabius Bile books, they just choose 
not to.

Which one? Fabius is my favorite character in the entire setting. I know he's a feminist (like all incomparably evil men), but I don't recall this part.

I think
Progenitor is the first 
FB boo that mentions it. I'm drunk 
rn and not gonna 
search 
if.
But basically Fabius's evil plot is to create a race of evil space
marines that are sexual and will replace humans.

those are probably the Gland Hounds. They're mutants which are slightly related to the space marines but are a different species - they're not genetically human. The gland hounds are meant to hunt space marines. But I don't believe they're anything but tangentially related. They are not to be confused with the Gland Warriors who are Imperial Guard.

I can't recall the specifics of Gland Hounds vs Space
Marines but he explicitly states 
that they could have made female 
Marines.

Malcador echoes a similar sentiment with the primarchs. He said some of them should have been girls so that they wouldn't be a bunch of peepee measuring cute twinks. The emperor thought he was joking.
