For young women only? - Page 3 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Rane Longfox · 15th April 2005, 05:08 PM

Unfortunately? If everyone (or in this case, all women) was the same, life would be hellishly boring

I have trouble with associating fantasy and science fiction to real life. The point is surely that its a completely different culture to our own. If the author is good, they wont fall into the trap of making the issues and results that same as they have turned out in our own.

I know I've rather belaboured this point, but I haven't read McCaffrey, I'm talking about a general case really, not specifics

Yeah, I totally agree. Boring world if we were all perfect. But I like science fiction with a mix of people and issues. I'm sure you're all tired of me belabouring Robin Hobb, but that's where she's right- she has strong women *and* weak women, just as she has strong men *and* weak men.

I have to put up with casual sexism even in this society of the 21st century, and I'd rather escape into something without it, or which deals with the issue, rather than something which propogates it

Nice sign off line btw

Thanks

We are in agreement. Tis good

Amber · 16th April 2005, 07:17 PM

Yeah. Unusual hey?

Now what bad things does that say about my personality?

Rane Longfox · 16th April 2005, 10:44 PM

I couldn't possibly comment

Amber · 17th April 2005, 10:24 AM

I'm sure you couldn't... You're way too polite

Rane Longfox · 17th April 2005, 06:05 PM

Hardly that. I wouldn't want to be accused of stalking

Amber · 17th April 2005, 08:34 PM

Now would I do that?

Rane Longfox · 19th April 2005, 07:04 PM

Who could say

Amber · 21st April 2005, 08:35 AM

Just because my superspies are better than *your* superspies.....

Rane Longfox · 21st April 2005, 09:01 AM

Pfft. Nevoor!!

Amber · 2nd May 2005, 03:14 PM

You dare speak to me like that? What is this world coming to?

Rane Longfox · 3rd May 2005, 08:00 PM

A general election...

Amber · 4th May 2005, 11:11 PM

Yes. No Blair for me!
