How unmitigatingly stupid. These days, book promotions are at least partly done via social media (even if a book is only available in dead tree format). These guys' publishers will have a thing or two to say about them completely tanking promotional efforts in this kind of boneheaded way. This should be Wheaton's Corollary. The law is: don't be a dick. The corollary should be: if you put it on the Internet, no one will ever forget (and you will never be able to deny) that you are a douche. |

Once Ixalla was ready, Tathrelle cornered her. “Before we leave for work, I just want to tell you, I’m sorry. I guess I sort of shut down last night. I know you were in pain and I wasn’t too terribly supportive.” There was a wall covering in the main part of their chamber, something that Tathrelle hadn’t noticed before. She stared at it for a second and then shook her head. Outside, a disembodied voice announced from a hidden speaker, “It is time to travel to all daytime places of employment. Transportation sleighs are available and ready. Citizens are encouraged to thank the sleigh drivers at the end of a successful transport. The government recommends haste, and requests that all pregnant persons be given preference for seating in their designated areas.” A little distracted, Ixalla just asked, “Pain?” Untrustworthy - by me, actually.

Considering the number of women that work in sci-fi at whatever level and context, I don't see how they can complain. Besides, many women writers are way better than men, Anne Rice for example !! |

Sayyy, I was just thinking about this explosion of female sci-fi/comic book/fantasy movie goers. I wonder if this is somehow related? I'll explain: So the topic started out to be a Wonder Woman movie, which led me to googling, which led me to some site that inferred the delay being part of a boys club attitude still in the comic book movie makers. Which led me to think about when I started going to comic book sci-fi fantasy movies, ....then when my female friends started really turning out big time for these movies too, ....then the male/female ratios I've noticed in audiences for these films, ... and that the female demographic of viewers has exploded in my corner of the planet and on the Internet. And in the OP linked conversation too I see. Interesting. |
