“But the thing is this: white men don’t require the support of women and persons of color to be successful in the field of science fiction and fantasy.

White male writers often do not. I haven’t been tracking this in detail (because who has that kind of time), but it’s definitely a pattern that I’ve noticed–and I’m not the only one. Women tend to boost signals of both women and men about equally, men boost mostly other men. And it’s frustrating.” – PRETTY TERRIBLE
