Young girl bullied for liking Star Wars. Story at Star Wars Blog; also Go to Geek Girls, ACTIVATE!! has the details and you can leave a comment in support of Katie. If you tweet, add the hashtag: #MayTheForceBeWithKatie to show love for girls loving scifi.

Is it me or is bullying starting earlier than ever? And to be bullied for liking something that's "for boys" so a girl feels she has to conform by getting a pink water bottle rather than one from her favourite fandom - just makes me rage.

Women have been active in science fiction fandoms for years.

The Star Trek fandom brought back a cancelled TV series from the 60's - they kept it alive, they arranged conventions, they wrote fan fics. Finally their pressure brought the show back for 9 movies (another one in the works) and 3 more television series.

What does this have to do with anything? The ST fandom, despite the stereotype that has been generated over the years, was completely dominated by women.

From:

Exactly! And yet the myth persists that scifi is for boys or that girls will only watch if there's more romance than action - or that men won't watch it if it's appealing to women! In RL it's harder to find women who watch anything other than soap operas and reality tv but in fandom generally it's easy to find other women to connect with.
