In the Dune saga, the Keins character has been fleshed out as an extreme survivalist.... Not exactly piles of non fiction female survival books out there... Also the freman society was written to be a patriarchy... Not likely they would accept a female as a prophet.. So, it's really hard to accept what the new film has done with their autistic license, may has well cast smurfette.

I am by no means a Dune expert. I am currently reading through the first book for the first time. I reserve the right to change my opinion after actually seeing the film.

That said, I'm not against Kynes being a woman. Kynes is an advisor, scientist, and parent to Chani.

Although the book is written as the freman having a patriarchy, they do accept Jessica as a reverent mother so I disagree that they would not accept Kynes as a female.
