You know, I don't have much use for modern day third-wave feminism, but I kinda would like to read more hard Sci-Fi written by women. I've noticed that Sci-Fi written by men tends to envision societies where there's lots of casual sex in ways that I suspect women would not appreciate. I wonder what kind of societies women dream up and what the male-female relationships are like in them. At least, when they're not stuck on making some ham-fisted point on current-day gender relations.
- bitwize 10y agoWhile it's not particularly "hard", there is a whole subgenre of "science fiction" romance written mainly by women that involves beautiful women falling for the handsome, rugged, Zapp-Brannigan-esque space captain, plucky female space captains stranded on alien worlds and discovering new avenues of passion with one of the natives, etc. Men cater to male fantasies. Women cater to female fantasies. Quelle surprise.
- viraptor 10y agoThe escape pod and their sibling podcasts have a periodic "Artemis rising" series where they concentrate on non-male authors. There's no agenda as far as the content goes, so there's a good mixture of ideas. http://escape-artists.wikia.com/wiki/Artemis_Rising http://escape-artists.wikia.com/wiki/Artemis_Rising If you're after some interesting views on relationships, I remember the "Boris's Bar" and "Chimeras" were fun, but there's much more.
