Why haven't I seen this before? L. Timmel Duchamp wrote a very interesting critique of A Civil Campaign ages ago. Lots of other good stuff at her site, too.
I liked "women are bugs", actually. It was an amusing parallel. I don't think Duchamp's completely out to lunch, though I think (as she mentioned herself) that she went a bit far with it. Once I got over feeling horribly protective of one of my favorite authors, I started wondering just how much of the essay Bujold would repudiate, so I was having an entertaining conversation about it in my head.
