Some of the best new space novels involve war and politics.



But some of the new ones don't involve war and political intrigue.



Do you perceive sci fi to be all about masculine things like warfare and politics?

Does the space opera genre needs more romance and non warfare type adventures?

I love a good space adventure but sometimes war and politics gets old.

There's more to life than assigning things to a particular gender, and I feel like our generation is finally showing the world that genders can be so much more than what society has pre-defined them as. Women are allowed to like things like comic books, monster trucks, and football, and men are allowed to like dolls, fashion, and a good pumpkin spice latte.
You've started to pique my curiosity, Dana. What exactly is behind your fascination with such topics? Seems like most of your threads have a gender-oriented slant to them?

generaly in the past sci-fi was more for boys or men.
any one ever read the culture novels? they are way ahead of anything else. many of the characters are female heroines. but also people can change thier gender or anything else about themselves.
they are a real mind bender to try to wrap your head around the universe ian m. banks created.

i would recommend a book called "state of the art" its a collection of short storys that take place in the culture.
then i would start with the first novel "consider phlebas" and then read them in the order they were written. im i big sci fi fan and nothing comes close to the culture novels. r.i.p ian m banks

When talking of female heroines, one can argue if they are supposed to act as a role model for girls or just to attract guys.
Years ago I read an article on female engineers in popular media and their influence on girl's interest for technical jobs. (Not really the topic here but quite related, when thinking of examples like B'Elanna Torres from Star Trek Voyager. )
Back then it was regarded relatively low, but maybe it is just one piece of a larger puzzle and over a period of at least generation, as Cum_Dumpster put it.

Well, the ones throwing stones represent the other extreme, probably forcing their daughters to play with cars.

Men and women in general have different interests, but that doesn't mean there are exclusive male or female interests and there is a general standard not to violate by any side. But this is still told to children. Remember Emma Watson's advice "become an engineer"?
There will be always more female nurses and male police officers, and this is pretty o.k., but it should not hinder any young woman to become a police officer or any young guy to become a nurse if that is what he or she wants.

abosolutly agree with you.
the thing that bothers me is the social justice warriors who argue that everything is a social construct(which as a philosophical arguement may have some merit-but we live in the real world)- and they ruthless attack anyone with differing opinion. i.e. your a nazi,some kind of phobic racist,whatever.
i dont care if some dude wana pretend hes a woman,not my issue,but when they try to force me to accept him as a woman its pushing it too far. 
but this pushing this shit on children,and where is it gona go? thousands of years of human traditions and we just throw it all out and try some new genderless proggressive shit. fuck all that. "diversity" the world is diverse now. they wana make everthing the same,starbucks mcdonalds coke cola... blah blah blah
the far east asians got it right. its thier country,thier culture,and everyone can fuck off. they laugh at the western world. we destroying ourselves.
