As My Mother Once Said: The Boys

There Are Plenty Of Images Of Women In Science Fiction. There Are Hardly Any Women.

Anyway Everyboy (sorry) Knows That What Women Have Done That Is Really Important Is Not To Constitute A Great, Cheap Labor Force That You Can Zip In When You're At War And Zip Out Again Afterwards But To Be Mothers, To Form The Coming Generation, To Give Birth To Them, To Nurse Them, To Mop Floors For Them, To Love Them, Cook For Them, Clean For Them, Change Their Diapers, Pick Up After Them, And Mainly Sacrifice Themselves For Them. This Is The Most Important Job In The World. That's Why They Don't Pay You For It.

[t]here Is One And Only One Way To Possess That In Which We Are Defective, Therefore That Which We Need, Therefore That Which We Want. Become It.

Science Fiction, As I Mentioned Before, Writes About What Is Neither Impossible Nor Possible; The Fact Is That, When The Question Of Possibility Comes Up In Science Fiction, The Author Can Only Reply That Nobody Knows. We Haven't Been There Yet. We Haven't Discovered That Yet. Science Fiction Hasn't Happened.

I Think We Ought To Decide That Man-hating Is Not Only Respectable But Honorable. To Be A Misandrist A Woman Needs Considerable Ingenuity, Originality, And Resilience. A Misogynist Requires No Such Resources.
