What's gender got to do with it ? If I said something was great BUT female dominated you'd be all over me. It goes both ways.

@Venusian: Agreed, would be nice if we could keep the Jezebellian punditry out of our beloved io9. Thanks.

@Venusian: Considering how much science fiction suffers from the image of being a male-dominated field, any time you have a list like this that only lists male authors, it does real damage to science fiction. It's just part of making the field seem insular and like an old boys club, which nobody wants.

@Venusian: It doesn't matter any ways, because we fan-girls don't exist. We're like unicorns...Unicorns with sharp horns and hooves stained with the blood of the unbelievers and the soulless hoards of the Fox empire. We, the unreal, shall rise up and lead the mass of geeks and nerds into the promise land of space ships, sharks with lasers on them, and space beer. WE SHALL SMITE THE *tazer sound*.....sorry about that. I just get a little carried away.

@Charlie Jane Anders: Apparently he just now noticed you're women, too? And that this is a blog?

One off-hand observation and someone's gotta get all scared that teh wimmins are gonna revolt...
