[Just between you and me, I don't think it is, though earlier in the thread someone suggested the idea of "books that women who don't like science fiction would like" was something of an unfair sexist generalization, seeming to imply that any mention of "women" as a group was sexist, which I also don't agree with, though I do realize that it would hard to predict what ANY one person might like from a generalization about a group.
But since jessicalynn decided she need to give me some flak over what I hoped was obviously a statement of self-surprise at realization of my own residual gender-bias carried over from years when the idea of "a woman on the Internet" was the stuff of legend, and the fodder for geek jokes, I figured the same criteria should apply to her.]
