Is shouting match crossed out? I call this humor. And I'm not actually interested in whether or not its "counterproductive," to characterize the current discussion as a (crossed-out) shouting match.
I've lived through at least three iterations of "women don't write SF/F" or "women don't write REAL SF/F" or "women are spoiling SF/F" or "where the hell did all these women come from?" (more humor) during my career, which started in the 1970s, and I've been a woman the entire time.
You might say that I'm kinda TIRED of this conversation. Certainly, I'm tired of the folks who don't seem to able to learn, or to read authors' names, plainly printed on the covers of books.
