Why do I love this so much?<\/p>\n
Possibly because it could have been titled “What I want to be when I
grow up” (and still apply to me and most of Team BadRep now, if
we’re honest). It has a shark with a frickin’ laser on its
head, which is always good for +10 points, but it’s got to be the
sheer joy on the girl’s face. I think I just have an innate love of
anything which could legitimately have the caption “YEAH BABY,
YEAH!”<\/p>\n
At a time when women
seem to be shockingly under-represented in Sci-fi<\/a> (way beyond the
ratio of actual female authors to male) and hearty
debate on whether that’s because of sexism or other factors<\/a>,
I’m delighted at anything which tells young women they have a
central place in SF. (The first link references Joanna Russ’
“How to suppress women’s writing”, which we mentioned ourselves recently<\/a>.) <\/p>\n
Women of all ages
should<\/em> be holding the rayguns and riding the space-sharks,
dammit. After all, WisCon<\/a>
(‘the World’s leading feminist science fiction
convention’) has just finished, and once again shows the potential
of the genre not only to excite and speak to everyone, but to be a blank
slate where current prejudices don’t have to be brought along<\/a>. SF
could be a feminist’s best friend.<\/p>\n

look at.<\/p>\n
