This is eerily apt. Congratulations. I was growing angry until the fourth paragraph. O’ skilled master of mockery, do for us another wanker!

Wouldn’t it be great if there was, Maevele? Maybe if we had some massive prestigious award, there would be…

but to have a sf bechdel, there would have to be more than one show in a year that met the basic criteria.

We should actually have a SF/F Bechdel Award!

That would be great. :-D For SF/F TV, film, stories, and novels: an award for the best TV programme, film, story, or novel, in which two women talk to each other about something other than a man.

Then we start fundraising. We’ll have plenty of time.

Morgan: Some of my best friends are female.

I’d like to have more non-male friends, but it’s so difficult socialising with them. One’s always afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Julie: I was wondering where and how I missed the gender and sexism kerfuffle!

Hee!

Debbie: Add me to the chorus of people who adore this post beyond description.

Thank you.
