Diversity: When women win everything (also see Equality).

I don't buy Asimov's or Analog any more; there is so much less hard SciFi, so much less military SciFi, so many ideological, social justice stories, so much BORING shit. Many are by women, who seem to be interested in things I do not find interesting.

I would be curious to see if sales are tanking for these two like they are for Marvel and DC comics.

Who votes for the Nebulas? The Science Fiction Writer's Association - the same people putting out this drek.

I'm sure a read a post a while ago abut the over-representation of women publishing.

From the report:

The show's sixth winner, of the "Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation" — which recognizes excellence in screenwriting — was the writing team behind Mad Max: Fury Road. Screenwriters George Miller, Brendan McCarthy and Nick Lathouris are all men, but they crafted one of the most progressive, female-empowering sci-fi films to date in Fury Road.

Because I know that whenever I’m browsing the Sci-Fi shelves in a book store, my first priority is to find "progressive, female-empowering” fiction. / s
