This is straying a bit from the topic, but I feel compelled to point
out that this is not a terribly uneven balance. In fact, it's about
as balanced as an odd number of people (5) can be (without getting
creative, OK? ;-). When I was in my first two years of high school,
I was in the "advanced" english classes--about 15 or 20 students. I
was the only male. That's a tad more unbalanced.
Back to FEMINISTSF ;-): Does anyone have suggestions for feminist
"hard sf"? Is that oxymoronic? How does one separate feminism from
the masculinization of the female? My wife and I watched the _Alien_
movies this weekend (following the discussion on this list), and while
the human society in the movies is more gender-equal than ours, neither
of us saw either of the first two movies as feminist. We did only watch
the first two movies. Is the third worth seeing?
