Have any of you ever been in a convention? In most of the conventions in my country (Israel), I was surrounded by teenagers with communication problems and the whole place smelled like a huge armpit. Besides, fan lectures was low level, and most content was not deep science fiction, but garbage like "Buffy", "Doctor Who", i.e.they prefer movies and tv shows which are more space opera over actual scifi literature. I tried reading recent science fiction, and much of the characterization seems to be flat to me, with emphasis being either on world-building/technology (in the good case) or on shoving a political view (usually either libertarianism or leftism).
You want to know why science fiction is snubbed by literary people, because most of the good science fiction is not called science fiction, "Brave New World" is a shining classical example of this. Dostoyevsky's and Bulgakov's works had elements of fantasy but are not classified as fantasy for the same reason, they are much deeper than harry potter or whatever nerd escape fantasy that's popular with kids today. On one hand, it is sad to see that science fiction books need to hide it in order to succeed. On the other, maybe it makes sense not to characterize a book by its setting. If we don't call "Moby Dick" a "sailor fiction" story, why should we call "Foundation" a "science fiction" story?
Sure, because women only want to be fucked, they don't want to be oral sex'd, the don't want to cum, they just want to be fucked, even it's only for 5 mins.
Your post is assuming that men and women are mostly the same except for some societal roles. I think you are wrong because of two things:
1) Women don't cum as easily as men. 2) Women suffer from bad sex more than men (Example: Let's say I have desperate sex with an icky woman, I'll feel bad for an hour and go on. Most women that I know would feel bad for several hours at least, including the "sluts".

Dude, you need more friends/pussy/family/drugs, cause you're clearly you're suffering from some sadness issues.

Are you sure I'm the naive one?

1 and 2 encourage women to be more picky.
