Both.\">Is Science Fiction Feminized Or Is It Sexist? Both.<\/a>: &quot;Women are being welcomed into science fiction, but it&#39;s though the back door. Let&#39;s not start patting ourselves on the back because we can recognize rank sexism when we see it written by an anonymous guy on a radical right wing opinion blog. We can celebrate how far we&#39;ve come from our sexist past when women and men are equally represented in the pages of science fiction anthologies. And when the next big, blow-em-up spaceship movie is written and directed by a woman. Until then, we have a lot of work to do. Work that involves challenging people who actually have the power to alter the course of SF as a genre. Work that is a lot harder than ridiculing an anonymously published blog post.&quot; Interesting, thoughtful response to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-spearhead.com\/2009\/10\/09\/the-war-on-science-fiction-and-marvin-minsky\/\">&quot;women are killing sci-fi&quot;<\/a> blog post that I <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2009\/10\/14\/delicious-october-12th\/\">linked to<\/a> the other day.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestranger.com\/seattle\/meet-the-four-men-in-washington-state-most-obsessed-with-stopping-gay-marriage\/Content?oid=1635015\" title=\"Know Thy Enemy\">Know Thy Enemy<\/a>: They&#39;ve introduced bigoted legislation, filed referendums, held rallies, and raised money&mdash;but they&#39;ve never gotten around to explaining how gay couples actually hurt their marriages. They&#39;ve also allegedly done things like failed to pay taxes, raised rents on the elderly, and beaten their wives. They say their battle is a righteous one, but these four crusaders are short on righteousness and long on catacombs in the closet.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/id\/196011\" title=\"Photos: Rare Snapshots From Early Star Trek Conventions\">Photos: Rare Snapshots From Early Star Trek Conventions<\/a>: A fun collection of old Star Trek convention snapshots, with accompanying audio.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theonion.com\/content\/opinion\/if_god_had_wanted_me_to_be?utm_source=most_pop_dugg\" title=\"If God Had Wanted Me to Be Accepting of Gays, He Would Have Given Me the Warmth and Compassion to Do So\">If God Had Wanted Me to Be Accepting of Gays, He Would Have Given Me the Warmth and Compassion to Do So<\/a>: &quot;I don&#39;t question God. The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall put none above Him. Which is why I know that if it were part of God&#39;s plan for me to stop viciously condemning others based solely on their sexual preference, He would have seen fit&#8211;in His infinite wisdom and all&#8211;to have given me the tiniest bit of human empathy necessary to do so. It&#39;s a simple matter of logic, really. God made me who I am, and who I am is a cold, anti-gay zealot. Thus, I abhor gay people <em>because God made me that way<\/em>. Why is that so hard to understand?&quot; Oh, how I love the Onion.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/monkeygoggles.com\/?p=1285\" title=\"Hey, Marriage-Minded Teens! It&rsquo;s Teen-Time!\">Hey, Marriage-Minded Teens! It&rsquo;s Teen-Time!<\/a>: &quot;Teen-Time demonstrates a delightfully astonishing lack of understanding of its target market. Hilarious generalizations abound. The playing field centers around &#8212; where else? &#8212;  a mall and a video store. But let&#39;s just cut right to the exquisite central absurdity of Teen-Time&#8230; the object of the game is to get engaged to be married before your fellow teens do.

What the fiscal note didn&#39;t say &#8212; and which got no mention that I could find anywhere &#8212; is that the state only collects $1.8 billion in property taxes. It all goes to public schools. In Olympia they call it the &#39;state school levy.&#39; What this means is that state economic forecasters have predicted Eyman&#39;s initiative would eliminate most if not all of the state school levy in five, maybe six years. That would be 25 percent of state school funding &#8212; gone.&quot;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometime between 09:25 and 16:56, I thought this stuff was interesting.
