I disagree with my learned colleague on so many different points that I can't even list them. So let's just go with the one wherein he is conflating "phallocentrism" with "science fiction." Feminism, goddammit. FEMINISM. You can't be feminist and phallocentric, but you can be feminist and write science fiction. This definition is flawed.

Also, please, for the love of rocket ships, do not generalize from NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE to the genre of science fiction. Please.

You really are "taking one for the team" with this lecture series. I for one have been simultaneously really amused with your posts and deeply grateful that I am not the one screaming with frustration and scaring the neighbors.
