here, have some fail

[rm]

Apparently women and queers are ruining SF.

Torchwood gets a not insignificant amount of text, and, sadly, Dirk Benedict is referenced. If you're thinking this can't end well, you'd be right.

Maybe I'll actually pick it apart for your viewing pleasure later. But maybe I'll actually have something more useful to do instead, like ruining the genre with my homosexual girl-bits or the cock in my dresser drawer or something.

Tell me, SF-ruiners, what's on your agenda today?

The funny thing is I have found the same amount of female to male fans in science fiction since I started going to cons.

Now, I've been a fan of science fiction almost since I could read. I watched the *original* Outer Limits and Twilight Zone. I'd love movied like Day The Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet etc when they were on the afternoon movies after school. And I watched the original Star Trek from day one.

When I first started going to cons, I found a balance of female to male fans. Granted they were the early Star Trek cons, with the except of the handful of Lunacons I went to, in the 70's. My first World Con was in Boston in 1980. It was a fair balance of fans then, too.

So I don't know how old that blogger is saying that s/f is a male form of fiction. There were a number of women writers, even in early s/f.

It's that "Good Old Days" mentality, when one completely misremembers the past. They were unaware of the things that bother them these days. Those things were still there.
