I actually don't think there's anything untrue about ataxi's statement (eg there's plenty of sexism I am able to see past in books I like), the problem is that it's the converse of my statement rather than the contrapositive and thus not so much a refutation as a sidetrack. I thought about calling him on it but I decided that simply refusing to be sidetracked was as good a response (perhaps it wasn't)

Still, I do agree with ataxi that the way you expressed yourself didn't invite a very productive discussion on the subject :P

alternatively, does this belong on DW

I posted this here by default without thinking since it's fanfic meta first, gender etc meta second. But in retrospect, maybe, but I don't think there's much to be gained by moving it now.

(Also, it's not that big a deal, but I have a lifelong Thing against people calling me "Sophia" since it's not my name and people often assume it is. See also "Sarah", for some reason :))
