Surprise, welcome to Systemic Sexism, Locus Awards edition!!



Stephanie A. Allen ‏@stephandrea_

I guess I didn't get the memo that female YA writers don't write SFF



Martha Brockenbrough ‎@mbrockenbrough

Hey, if you read LOCUS, don't worry: women do actually write fantasy and science fiction, even if they didn't make any awards lists.



Martha Brockenbrough ‏@mbrockenbrough

To clarify my earlier tweet about LOCUS's finalists. No books by women made the list in the YA category. This defies belief.

You're obviously forgetting that Joe Abercrombie identifies as a woman now. So much hate! You should be ashamed!



Martha Brockenbrough ‏@mbrockenbrough

Is this a joke? Because I am not getting it.



Supreme Dark Lord ‏@voxday

I just think you're being very insensitive and hateful to Ms Abercrombie. Not all women have vaginas, you know.



Martha Brockenbrough ‏@mbrockenbrough

First I have heard that Joe Abercrombie identifies as a woman. If she does, that changes things.

The SF SJWS are up in arms about sexism at the Locus Awards No wonder they're upset:FANTASY NOVELKaren Memory, Elizabeth Bear (Tor)The House of Shattered Wings, Aliette de Bodard (Roc; Gollancz)Wylding Hall, Elizabeth Hand (PS; Open Road)The Fifth Season, N.K. Jemisin (Orbit US; Orbit UK)Uprooted, Naomi Novik (Del Rey)Wait, what? Oh, sorry, apparentlyis the problem.YOUNG ADULT BOOKHalf a War, Joe Abercrombie (Del Rey; Harper Voyager UK)Half the World, Joe Abercrombie (Del Rey)Harrison Squared, Daryl Gregory (Tor)Shadowshaper, Daniel José Older (Levine)The Shepherd’s Crown, Terry Pratchett (Harper; Doubleday UK)For feminists, "sexism" means that somewhere, somehow, a man still has something that a woman thinks she should have.And to think they say SJWs are no fun!
