Excuse Me… What?
Women don’t like science fiction?
From the article:
I love when clueless humans tell me to my face that women don’t like science fiction. Usually they tell me this at a science fiction convention, after we have talked about scifi for an hour and I have said that I edit a science fiction blog. These humans have an amazing ability to not believe their eyes, which is the only way I can explain what’s happening when somebody says to my face that women like me don’t exist. And unfortunately, the SciFi Channel seems to have the same problem: There’s an article in the New York Times today about how the channel boosted its ratings among women by de-emphasizing spaceships in Battlestar Galactica ads and airing supernatural horror movies. I cannot believe the stupidity here.
If anyone needs me, I’ll just be getting ready to go to BaltiCon on Saturday. Because, you know, I love going for the sparkly ponies and not the icky science and spaceship stuff.
