- SolaceQuantum 7y agoMaybe, I don't know. I wasn't alive in 1970s and I don't know what those discussions are. I know that the writer here is addressing the concerns that feminism is driving people from the scifi fandom. That seems equivalent to the concerns I see in modern day? I might totally be wrong though.
- pjc50 7y agoThe discussions were thought "settled", until an external faction deliberately unsettled them. It used to be possible to quietly forget that John W Campbell was a white supremacist so long as the idea was firmly discredited. But now the culture war has to be fought everywhere. People keep forgetting that a certain deliberately multi racial equal opportunity sci fi TV series was first broadcast in 1966.
