Nooo I had a proper rant going and I accidentally hit the back key and it was all lost.
YEah, I recently read some 'manly' 70s scifi, with men doing manly things, and it was terrible. The writing was clunky and the characters 2D. The science was ok, not too mangled, but the narative just fell on it's face. Give me modernise, feminised sci-fi anyday! Hell, give me feminist sci-fi!
Lets encourage girls as well as boys to grow up and be scientists, I mean i'm conviced my desire to do science came from watching too much Next Gen. and Sam in SG1 as a kid.
Seriously though I don't know how this guy can be sug an ignorant arrogant asshole! it drives me up the wall!
Oh and teh reason I came over here, not sure if I already linked you this but I saw it and thought of you :)
