Gender bias anywhere is just stupid, but yeah, this goes beyond. I thought science fiction readers were smarter than that.<br /><br />I'm glad you came to the Word Whores, James.

Someone DID get to Alice Norton, to make her change her name to Andre Norton. But really. In the 21st century we're still playing this moronic game? I wonder if I'd tell my publisher to stick it where the sun don't shine...probably not...I'd suck up the insult, wanting too badly to get pubbed and sell well.

As for you, our token male ;-), I'm sure glad you don't mind hanging out with a bunch of chick writers and being a Word Whore along with us!Jeffe Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779020656676094853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-6158761706722759072012-07-30T15:58:20.157-04:002012-07-30T15:58:20.157-04:00Wow.
