I'm reminded of when I ran into an article in which one of the writers for the new Trek film expressed his shock and amazement that there were so many female Star Trek fans. At least he wasn't saying that women had no place in Trek fandom, but the idea that SF is a boy's club ... it's so damned persistent. These fools are just the far extreme of that spectrum, insisting that women have no place in SF at all, unless it's to serve men.
