*facepalm*

Science fiction is a very male form of fiction. Considerably more men than women are interested in reading and watching science fiction. This is no surprise. Science fiction traditionally is about men doing things, inventing new technologies, exploring new worlds, making new scientific discoveries, terraforming planets, etc. Many men working in the fields of science, engineering, and technology have cited science fiction (such as the original Star Trek) for inspiring them when they were boys to establish careers in these fields.

The current generation of boys will not have this inspiration from science fiction, at least from science fiction on television and in movies. That’s because there is an undeclared war on real science fiction on TV and in movies.

Ladies, your cooties are ruining sci-fi. Science Fiction is a man's domain (despite the fact that Mary Shelley in effect invented it), and any attempt to have yourselves acknowledged as, you know, existing, or working for more realistic depictions of women therein is emasculating and weakening the genre. Your liking sci-fi means more "relationship drama" and that little boys will no longer grow up to be scientists! Also, gay people are icky.

For real. Somebody said this. And he has a handful of dedicated supporters with poor reading comprehension skills. Shocking.

I haven't heard anything so ridiculous since the last time Dirk Benedict started running his yap.

Also, appropriate icon is appropriate.
