Re: Yet another DA

I'm not sure that comparison holds, because it is 2013 and I cannot name many fantasy/sf writers of his level of popularity who are doing better at writing women. Can you?

I think there's this equating of 'feminist' with aspirational female characters who are not constrained by broad currents of societal sexism, whereas what Pratchett has always done is write believable and funny things about women who live in sexist cultures much like the one around him. I'm not sure that this is affected by time so much as age; younger readers might have more need for the aspirational characters, older readers might have more need for characters whose lives are subject to the same stresses as theirs. (You see this in online feminism in general imo - people want to talk a lot about media tropes and not so much about workplaces or parenthood or householding that have more of an effect on women's lives.)
