The Birds and the Bees -- and the Priest Affair?
I almost called this an Aspiring Writers Info, but it's for everyone who reads or posts on the Internet.
Writer Catherynne M. Valente talks about the fact that if a woman had written what Christopher Priest said about the award nominations in Britain, she'd have been eviscerated online. I do not choose that word lightly, because it's happened before, and sadly, will happen again. Perhaps it is time to drag the politics of sexism out of the closet into the light of day.
Worth reading.
