So here I am at Wiscon, the feminist science fiction convention, having a blast, as usual.

I will admit that in the years before I started coming to Wiscon, I was leery that feminism could be much fun. Most of my firsthand experience with feminists, of course, was with dour and/or victim-mentalitied proponents of the anti-sex movement back when I was in college. Brown had a women's studies building called the Sarah Doyle Center that I NEVER DARED SET FOOT IN until long after I had graduated and was invited back to speak as an alum.

But Wiscon is, happily, much more a Bastion of Fandom in all its Glory than it is representative of any branch of feminism.

And it is fun. And brainy. And brainily fun. And my brain is funny.
