Geek gatekeeping is a deadly occupation, and NOBODY has to do it.
Learn from the examples of the fallen, fellow nerds. Don’t be that guy.

Sometimes you murder people on the internet.
Sometimes they run into your knife six times.

Mom bought me a kindle copy of Oryx & Crake as a back to school gift. Just finished, highly recommend (and not just because I am a big sci-fi/dystopia geek LOTS OF OTHER READERS WILL ENJOY THIS BOOK). As one of the few female sci-fi writers whose novels are as critically acclaimed as classics like Brave New World and 1984, Margaret Atwood is definitely one of my personal heroes. Sometimes I think it can be hard for women outside of the YA genre to receive that same type of respect as their male peers attain, but she’s done it and done it well time and time again.
Also this illustration is not actual cover art. It was re-imagined by artist Charles Chaisson and I thought it was pretty sweet.

This is a book about what happens when certain casually held attitudes about women are taken to their logical conclusions.

Now, there has to be an “us.” Because, now, there is a “them.”

It’s time to wake up.

Now I am awake to the world, before I was asleep, that is how we let it happen. When they slaughter Congress we didn’t wake up, when they blamed terrorists and suspend the Constitution we didn’t wake up either. They said it would be temporary, nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you’d be boiled to death before you knew it.

Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.
