OK. I had a busy week, I admit it. I haven't been paying as much attention to livejournal as I might have. But I just looked at this week's edition of metafandom, and wow. Was it a slow week for television or something? Where did all the wank come from? Women shouldn't write from a male pov? Or should we? Are we really about to have slash vs. het again, complete with witty observations like, "Well, it seems to me that het fic isn't very good. Of course, I don't read much of it," and decent het writers with an attachment to fandom being classified as "atypical"? And we haven't even finished talking about whether slash is gay or not!

Please tell me that there will lots and lots of new television next week, so that we will all be backing away from the stupidity.

Oh ye gods they didn't resurrect the old 'women shouldn't write from a male pov' *AGAIN*?! I got told that one (specifically that I couldn't write Blair Sandburg accurately because I was a woman ten years or so younger than him. *eyeroll*) going on ten years ago. Oy.

I think that this time it's our feminist duty to only write from the female perspective. But to be fair, my eyes glaze over whenever I try to read the original post.
