This is an index of non-female characters in SF. It could include males or other-gendered characters. There are more lists of female characters, because one of the problems of sexism in SF is a dearth of representations of female characters; but feminist analysis is also interested in non-female characters because of gendered representations of characters (for instance, male characters in traditionally female-gendered roles) and the ways in which SF can be used to consider and interrogate binary gender roles.
