::glances at page, grunts, and tosses it in the direction of the disposal chute::
News to me. But the author(s?) have not exactly covered themselves in glory. The whole page is full of unconnected “facts” and entirely lacking in sources, explanations, or extrapolations to tie them together.

Klingons have dark olive skin, some even have topaz eyes. They are color blind. Black is black and red is black. White to them, looks like a yellow/green.
Have not all of us seen Klingons who do not possess dark olive skin?
Colorblindness is defined as an absence of or defect in the perception of colors, and the most common classification system is based on the perception of red, green, and blue (termed the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd color factors, respectively.)* If the visual perceptions as described above apply to all Klingons, they are not an absence or defect, but the norm for that population. A norm that does not follow that of the author’s own highly biased perceptions.
Someone’s enthocentrism screams out loud enough to be heard through the void. I would be hesitant to believe such a one if they told me that “space is cold”, let alone believe their assertions regarding highly complex gender relations between Klingons. I can only hope that the author’s skills and methodologies improve with time.
I was convinced males and females are equal until and onto death in the Klingon Empire...
I still am. Though I think perhaps that equality lists toward “separate but equal”... ::snaps stylus and a few teeth:: Though there are some on these boards who will disagree with that, and perhaps even site the page you link to as “proof” of their beliefs.
