In light of the recent SFWA "fun"

[yendi]

I sorely wish that I still had a copy of Murderess Ink. I recall that there was at least one essay in there talking about what differentiating between murderers and murderesses meant, but alas, I haven't seen my copy in nearly twenty years.

Incidentally, the store from which Murder Ink (and thus Murderess Ink) took its name was one of my favorite places to visit while cutting school hangouts back in high school. I discovered so much great stuff there (this was before they moved and later closed, alas).

I missed the 'fun' -- can you link to something that provides context? Thanks.

Essentially, sexism on the part of writers for the SFWA bulletin, and how people are reacting to it.
