I'm kind of annoyed.

I started to write an article for GC on the whole Polanski thing, and now I'm just in a terribly foul mood.

Then I saw this on my friend's list, courtesy of evildrem:

The War on Science Fiction (link deleted)

Apparently, females are getting their cooties on Science Fiction.(That old saw! have a picture of gnat playing "My Heart Bleeds for You" on the world's tiniest violin ---> * ) Now boys won't grow up to invent things anymore, because there might be gays and wimmin on the SyFy channel.

I think I sprained an eye muscle from the eye-rolling. Ow.

While the perceived 'dumbing down' of scifi TV is lamentable, that's one thing you can't blame on a whole gender. Idiots.

Exactly! I think this is probably why the asshat writers who do this kind of piece periodically think that female scifi fans don't exist -- it's because we avoid idiots like him. I hope his little bubble gets ventillated soon.

I'd rather he stayed in it, to be honest, and didn't pollute the real world with his vileness.

True. The first comment I composed was along the lines of "I hope the air is getting really thin in that bubble of his" but then I thought maybe I shouldn't be so uncharitable. ;)

There's a real piece of work mouthing off in the comment thread, whining about how women always invade the boy's clubs. One lady said that the whole world is a boy's club, and he countered with a challenge to name one men-only area that women weren't clamouring to get into.

It was all I could do not to say, "Your bedroom."

(I refrained only because I do not want to engage, you know.)
