It's not just your experience that shows women aren't into sci-fi. There's an analytics company called Quantic Foundry that collects data on player gaming habits. Women, as a group, have low double digit preference for sci-fi.
No surprise. Now I’d say fantasy is more evenly split but those who actually read sci-fi are overwhelmingly guys
The difference is Anne McCaffrey vs Robert Jordan. Tolkien sits above them all and wonders what they have done with the music he created.
Are you insulting McCaffrey, Jordan, or both here? (Or maybe neither, but I read it as negative for at least one of them).
Just referencing their styles. No insult meant. I will admit McCaffery has a rule of cool for girls thing that confused me every time I read stuff.
I found some Mccaffrey books at a yard sale. Bought them because they get were super cheap. Never read her before
Let us know what you think!
I loved McCaffrey when I was a teenager -- I devoured all of her Dragonriders of Pern stuff. I remember absolutely nothing about it, and suspect that I'd be a bit disappointed these days. You know. Chicks.
I hope you enjoy them.
