I grew up on Asimov, Clark, and Heinlein and the craft went down in the late 1980s; and the fantasy crap and the bad writing became overwhelming.dienwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878081733638742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-4566605617786535592009-10-14T08:22:28.269-07:002009-10-14T08:22:28.269-07:00Why is that so many women take general observation...Why is that so many women take general observations and broad brush arguments personally? Is it narcissism? Do they really think that every argument is about them?<br /><br />I love arguments and discussions and feel no need to get offended at everyone who disagrees with me. It seems that most women are incapable of dispassionate, reasoned discourse. <br /><br />The women at that thread were appalling in their complete inability to separate out the idea that <b>most</b> women don't like traditional science fiction from the fact they they <b>personally</b> do like it. Ladies, it's not all about you. You are not the personal measure of all that goes on in the world. Get over yourself.<br /><br />As an aside, I think it would be really funny for some chick to reply saying that they personally weren't anything like the generalization I sketched above. How ironic would that be?Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436306631750642714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-10102796208630097932009-10-14T07:42:03.658-07:002009-10-14T07:42:03.658-07:00Talleyrand is spot on with most fiction appealing ...Talleyrand is spot on with most fiction appealing to women. I can't remember the last novel that was as successful as Twilight or anything by Nicholas Sparks....and which has spawned so many knock-offs as to be nauseating. I've noticed this general trend in fiction over the past few years b/c of how much I frequent bookstores in my spare time.*** ********https://www.blogger.com/profile/17712494111698782889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-46635043373446864582009-10-14T07:08:53.384-07:002009-10-14T07:08:53.384-07:00And those comments by "the ladies" make ...And those comments by "the ladies" make me glad I have nothing to do with any of them anymore.
