Left-liberal fans of speculative fiction may get a larf from this screed*, coming to our attention from The Divine Mr. M., in the wilds to our north. (Farther, even, than The Valley.)Mr. M. is divine enough to provide a rebuttal to Mr. (We kid you not:) PRO-MALE/ANTI-FEMINIST TECH's screed.
Anyone willing to email this to DoughBob DumbPants for reaction?
*True afficionados of this variation on the formal rightist whine will note that P-M/A-F links to '70s Starbuck Dirk Benedict's Big Hose complaint box submission.

Er...what? 1970s Battlestar Galactica as an example of science fiction??? Wagon Train in space???

Re: Wagon Train in Space [Jonah Goldberg]
Several reader have noted that it was Roddenberry himself who coined "Wagon Train in Space." My apologies, I just remembered a majorr article with the title and must have forgotten the origin of the phrase.
'70s BS, when men were still men & space-sheep were nervous, was more Wagon to the Star Wars.
Battlestar Galactica actually had the wagons!
