Sorry, I missed the original article, so I use the quote from article <294@inuxm.UUCP> arlan@inuxm.UUCP (A Andrews) : >> From: Caro.PA@Xerox.ARPA >> >> Here are my favorites: .... >> * Witch World, etc., by Andre Norton >> Another male writer who espouses feminist views. His female characters >> are also very well written. Yes, true... Exept Andre Norton IS a woman! It was obvious from her writing style and characters. I DON'T really like femenist/woman oriented wiriting (DON'T FLAME ME! I have a right to be wrong!) >> Others have suggested that John Norman's Gor series treat women in a >> radically different way than most other authors, but I haven't had a >> chance to read any of those books. Yes, I'll agree with the above. John Norman IS radically different - SICK, that is. The only way women are portrayed in Gor series is as slaves, will-less meat and property to be used and sold by men. It seems OK to J. Norman to treat women as inferior to men, lower species that are rightly in place as sex-slaves and should never be anything else. Most his female characters ENJOY the slave status and see nothing wrong in being treated like dirt. They LOVE it! Sorry, B&D and domination are NOT my idea of fun. I managed to read 1/4 of one of the Gor books and THAT WAS IT! I could not bear the book! If I want that kind of entertainment, LA is full of sex/porn shops that sell books which don't pretend being SF/F or literature. -- Disclamer: My employers go to church every Sunday, listen to Country music, and donate money to GOP.
