Haven't we fixed this already? Try reading more, Gilmore, you might learn something.

"After the death of Mary Hastings Bradley in 1976, "Tiptree" mentioned in a letter that his mother, also a writer, had died in Chicago — details that led inquiring fans to find the obituary, with its reference to Alice Sheldon; soon all was revealed. Several prominent science fiction writers suffered some embarrassment. Robert Silverberg had written an introduction to Warm Worlds and Otherwise arguing, from the evidence of stories in that collection, that Tiptree could not possibly be a woman. Harlan Ellison had introduced Tiptree's story in the anthology Again, Dangerous Visions with the opinion that "[Kate] Wilhelm is the woman to beat this year, but Tiptree is the man."" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Tiptree,_Jr.

do you really think an asshole like this guy is going to be super down with science fiction

guarantee you he'll just dismiss it with "well the only reason they couldn't figure it out is because they're science fiction fans and therefore dumb" (a thing that people have said to me on this very subject)

for real though, james tiptree forever

Some comments in National Post articles said great women writers in mystery, romance, science fiction and fantasy "don't count" because mystery, romance, sci-fi and fantasy are "genre fiction."

You're probably right, so I hereby qualify Gilmore for the Clockwork Orange treatment: strapped to a dentist chair, hooks in eyelids, a pad in his mouth and auto-scrolling science fiction e-books at a proper reading distance for... lets say a month at first?

maybe you need to read some more if you think "clockwork orange" treatment is a good idea for anything.
