So I’m late to the ruckus… I don’t work much on weekends and I had a date night, no kids, no pups, just me and my guy and a hotel and relaxation, something we so needed, and this wasn’t getting in the way.<\/p>\n

But I don’t want to not post my thoughts on this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a Barbie Doll.<\/p>\n

\"Forces<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Image via Altered Barbie<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I never have<\/em>\u00a0been, nor will I ever be.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to go into the whole back story\u2026<\/p>\n

You can read about it here<\/a>, here<\/a>, some of the shit that a female SF has to deal with here<\/a> or Jim Hines lists a bunch of links here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suffice it to say, there’s a bunch of sexism going on within SFWA, people are getting tired of it and are speaking up and others don’t like the fact that people are\u00a0speaking up over something pisses us off<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Crap like this has been going on for a while and seems to be coming to a head within SFWA.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not terribly active in the SF\/F community and at times like this, I can\u2019t decide if I\u2019m happy of that or if I regret it.<\/p>\n

Had I attended any of these cons where I saw female authors being talked over, being talked down to, being referred to as \u2018token\u2019 females\u2026well, I\u2019m\u2026ah, well.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never been known for keeping my mouth shut and playing nice is a skill I never learned.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I would have made a lot of friends, but I\u2019m not necessarily looking to make friends.<\/p>\n

I am a member of SFWA, based on the PNR romances I sold. My contribution to the SF\/F writing world would be minimal, although I spend an awful lot of dollars…really, writers, a lot of female dollars are spent in your world–more, probably, than you realize. \u00a0Maybe you should ponder that and appreciate it.<\/p>\n

But back to the writing world, the closest I come to the SF\/F world would be my UF series, the Colbana Files. \u00a0And yucky-gross, those have sex in them. \u00a0Girl cooties and all that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a reader of SF\/F.\u00a0 I love the SF written by authors like Ann Aguirre and S.L. Viehl. \u00a0Hey, those are women. Character-driven stories like the Grimspace series and Stardoc just call to me and I make no bones about it.<\/p>\n

I love Myke Cole\u2019s stories and one of my die hard faves? Dave Wolverton\u2019s Serpent Catch. \u00a0I’m a mad lover of Star Wars, I adore LOTR. \u00a0 \u00a0I’m something of a geek.<\/p>\n

I read SF.\u00a0 I read fantasy.\u00a0 I love and adore UF.<\/p>\n

I haven’t followed as much of this fray as some people and it’s probably a good thing, because my blood pressure can’t handle it.<\/p>\n

I hate sexism.\u00a0 The SF world has sexism in spades\u2026dinosaurs (FYI, using these term doesn’t have anything to do with their chronological\u00a0<\/em>age, more to do with their refusal to come out of the stone<\/em> age) who think it\u2019s okay to ask women to fetch coffee, people who think it\u2019s okay to refer to women on panels at the token female. \u00a0<\/i>There are people who thinks it’s totally A-OK to have chats about women but they don’t focus on the person’s abilities…sex<\/em>y\u00a0<\/em>they were, how\u00a0hot\u00a0<\/em>they are. \u00a0Screw their abilities. \u00a0They become body parts and sex objects.<\/p>\n

And when people object? Forget people\u00a0listen\u00a0<\/em>to those objections… we should act like Barbie\u2026and carry on with quiet dignity<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Um, yeah.\u00a0 You can shove that up your tailpipe, buddy.<\/p>\n

Being a woman very often means you\u2019re going to be insulted, ignored, condescended, treated as insignificant, devalued, viewed as an object, and the list goes on <\/i>and on<\/i> and on<\/i>\u2026we get so blind to the shit that comes our way at times.<\/p>\n

Maybe the problem is that we\u00a0carried on with quiet dignity<\/em> for too long.<\/p>\n

All women want is to be treated as the equal.\u00a0 That\u2019s not that frickin\u2019 hard.<\/p>\n

At least\u2026it shouldn\u2019t<\/i> be.<\/p>\n

FYI, no woman is your fricking Barbie doll or your coffee girl.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll keep my SFWA membership, because I know the asses aren\u2019t the majority, even when it seems that way.<\/p>\n

And maybe I\u2019ll even try to figure out where the regional SF\/F cons are and start hitting them. \u00a0Who knows\u2026 maybe what some of these things need are more loudmouths on hand.\u00a0 It\u2019s possible we\u2019ve been quiet and dignified long enough.<\/p>\n

Also, for a good kick, head over to that Altered Barbie link up top. \u00a0\ud83d\ude09 \u00a0Some really interesting twists on Barbie…and very few are dignified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
