Did you know that Jews carried out the 9/11 attacks with the backing of Israel? Zionists have conspired to suppress this information and blame Muslims. It's obvious listening to recordings that the attackers had Israeli accents. The trail of money leads back to Mossad. Can anyone provide any real evidence to disprove these facts?
Also, this is NOT racist, despite the accusations leveled against me. It's no more racist to say that Jews did 9/11 than it is to say that Muslims did 9/11. I'm not saying all Jews are terrorists, which actually would be racist. I'm simply saying that Israel and Mossad were behind 9/11.
I guess no men wrote anything decent this year?
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
God forbid they ever give another award to a straight white male. And people wonder why moderate groups have to try to take over the Hugos just so one can stance a CHANCE anymore.
SJW's poison everything they touch.

Fury Road featured a bunch of strong women, so feminists loved it. That's why George Miller got to be the token male.

No, but it does show you WHY they had to take over the Hugos. Science fiction, debate, atheism, etc. Every field that has let the SJW's take over, this is what happens. Straight white males are treated like they don't exist anymore and all the awards go to women and minorities.
If you really want a laugh, google the winning debate performances of the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) in the last few years.
That's the SJW version of "equality" i.e. "since you were racist and sexist for a long time then that gives us a free pass to now be racist and sexists right back at you." Not exactly what Martin Luther King, Jr. had in mind, methinks.

Don't worry, since only women and minorities can win awards anymore, I'm sure they'll get around to her soon.
I don't place any value at all in these awards anymore, not after what the puppies showed to be true regarding the Hugos. And that sucks for the actual and talented authors out there that no longer get the spotlight they deserve for doing an excellent job.
I'm not sure if that's a win for the ideologues, but it's damn sure a loss for the actual writers.
invent your own facts when the real ones don't support you point.
FACT: Every Nebula Award winner this year was a female, except two separate specialty awards and the Ray Bradbury award, which went to a movie that was popular with feminists.
Did I make that one up?

Well, they had to give it to that token to Terry. They couldn't rename the Solstice Award the "Kate Wilhelm Solstice Award" AND give it to a female in the same year, could they? Don't want to make it TOO obvious.

That's funny, I looked at the 2014 Nebula awards and every one of them was won by a woman, except for the specialty awards. I guess it's just a coincidence that men just stopped writing great science fiction in the 21st century. Maybe they're all too busy playing videogames or something.
