/// The columnists, Mike Resnick and Barry Malzberg, responded to claims that their descriptions were sexist in another bulletin, where they wrote that "all we did was appear in a magazine with a warrior woman on the cover, and mention that a woman who edited a science fiction magazine 65 years ago was beautiful. If they get away with censoring that, can you imagine what comes next? I'm pretty sure Joe Stalin could imagine it … Even Chairman Mao could imagine it." ///
We could be nearer than first thought.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.if i was given only pink lego it would be have been given back, i liked lego bricks, meccano, and anything that made a noise, children like toys that do stuff, some girls might like my little pony or an inanimate doll, but generally i liked toys that were moveable. It's to engage and entertain in equal measure.
Octavious, if you are a chap, then unlikely you would have been on the receiving end of much sexist behaviour, sexism in the work place, i did because i mostly worked in men only businesses, industry. It wasn't a time of being able to claim for harassment or being taken notice of, it was expected you would put up with the comments, banter.. sometimes it went just a bit too far.
"boys had Ken" - good grief, how many boys do you suppose bought one??!
Ken was for the same girls who bought Barbie; it was to give her a super cool boyfriend.

Females are not the only ones to suffer from this type of thing, this also happens if a man works in a predominately female domain, what a guy has to suffer would certainly make your maiden aunt blush.

If the title of AoGs thread was not meant ironically, that last post of his was surely- surely - meant to be ironic?
What else could it reasonably be, from someone who continually writes purple prose (presumably affected by the rose-tinted hue of their spectacles) about the halycon days when everything was so much better :) ?
Good on you though, AoG, for straying outside your comfort zone of the DM once in a whiles.....
Oh - and can you explain what on earth makes you think that if this report had been published in the DM, everyone here would have castigated it?
