		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If you’re so concerned about your masculinity, then maybe you should look into why you are QQing over GASP more women involved in Sci Fi! OH NOES. Whatever will we do!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I know what &lt;strong&gt;we&lt;/strong&gt; will do,simply move on to something that hasn&#039;t been dressed up in frilly pompoms and fruity doilies like everything that women get their mentally fucked up clutches on.

Meanwhile, it&#039;s not us who should be &quot;concerned about our masculinity&quot;, it&#039;s you, because our masculinity is responsible for pretty much everything that&#039;s been invented since the wheel. When you step in and fuck with OUR shit, you are fucking &lt;strong&gt;yourself&lt;/strong&gt;out of technological advancement, you&#039;re fucking yourself out of artistic masterpieces, you&#039;re fucking yourself out of a future. 

Men have always been &quot;doing it for themselves&quot;, ever since the beginning, you women have only been doing this shit for less than 100 years, who the fuck do YOU think is gonna suffer for this? All men have to do in order to bend you over and fuck you GOOD and HARD is to just give you what you&#039;re demanding, more women in government, more women in science, more women in the arts.

As soon as those positions are flooded with women,costing more money than they take in, they will nosedive right into the ground, men will rebuild them,  and it will be at least another 1000 years before people will allow women to come in and fuck shit up again.

So,by all means, run your fucking mouth now because you&#039;ll be eating your words for the next millennium,bitch.</description>

		<description>This is nothing to do with women, this is to do with anti-intellectualism. Your generalisations are both incorrect and at parts offensive. You should concentrate less on blaming one gender and concentrate more on creating acceptable science fiction.</description>

		<description>It disgusts me how SciFi has changed its title to &quot;SyFy&quot;.  I started reading in the school library with Isaac Asimov and I&#039;m damn glad I did.  He was a real man and it wasn&#039;t just FUTURISTIC fiction it was SCIENCE fiction.</description>

		<description>You come here using shaming language -ie:sorry over compensating for a small dick- amnd threats to have our asses kicked and I&#039;m supposed to glean any meaning from your tirade? Or give a fuck what you have to say?

How about you learn to write *without* using terms like that, stop being a Mangina - ie: a male who has willingly turned in his balls because he thinks women will love him, and debate on the actual strength,if any, of your argument. I&#039;ve taken all the insulting mealy-mouthed shit off of women and Manginas I&#039;m *ever* going to take,asshole. You want to talk to me,keep a civil fucking tongue in your fucking mouth.</description>

		<description>Hey soap do you have anything more to offer than sophomoric insults like a substantive argument as to why I am wrong?

The best science fiction IMO deals with neither space wars nor tawdry soap opera dramas like the IMO unwatchable new Star Trek and unwatchable dreck like Caprica which I dub yuppies in space.  The best Sci-Fi IMO like wrtiing of Philip K. Dick or the old black and white Twilight Zone rather deals with large issues like the nature of reality and political oppression.  The fact we are seeing less of that has nothing to do with women and everything to do with the suits and bean counters trumping the actual science fiction writers when it comes to movies and tee vee.  Perceptive women are every bit as pissed by these power suited  yuppie ass Hilary Clinton&#039;s in space as any dude I assure you.  I dread to see what kind of hack job Hollywood will do on one my favorite novels Ubik.  Sadly in your rush to be a sexist moron troll &quot;Soap&quot; you missed the bigger overall point that I agree with you and the OP that yuppies in space melodramas in space suck.  

But I wonder why I even fucking bother as I am sure this will whiz right over your head.

Sigh!</description>

		<description>I found this review to be a frustrating mix of genius and not getting it.  I believe the author is 100% correct to bemoan the creeping of reality tee vee/tabloidsoap opera melodrama into *science*fiction which is one of our few widely read and watched genres with intellectually challenging content.  Where I think he misses the mark is assuming that only men are capable of rationality, technological innovation, or direct non nonsense action. Surely the recently deceased computer science pioneer Rear Admiral Grace M. Hopper would be surprised to hear that women are incapable of rational thought:

And these women black belts could certainly kick your sorry over compensating for a small dick ass across the room:

So thumbs up to sticking up for old school non soap Oprahized science fiction, thumbs down for blaming this corporate money driven decision on the female gender. Lt. Uhuru at her complex communications council shakes her head at you in disgust.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;provided you hold men to the same standard.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I do hold men and women to the same standard.  That is what makes me a misogynist.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Excuse my satire, it was a little too thick.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Actual satire would require you to say something original which you didn&#039;t do.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Might I say, at this point in time, that I care nothing about your penis or sexual escapades in the least.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You might not but the horde of hyperemotional women who say that I have small penis and can&#039;t get laid do seem to care in a very strange way.  Personally, I&#039;m going to live my life as I see fit having &quot;sexual escapades&quot; when I feel like it.</description>
