I used hear Living on Earth all the time, but the local, primary public station dropped it.
Air America seems to have started running it just this week.
But I’d heard about this before too.

I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore. But I don’t like what I’m hearing about changes at NPR.
Not a surprising occurrence. Many of the toxins that have made it into our water supply are suspected of being connected to the disruption of gender development w/in the womb. Unfortunately you live in a state that is so pro-corporation that they have yet to adopt federal guidelines for the environmental assesment of potential health hazards as a result of new projects/policies/emmissions. If this trend keeps up we may all be Gethen here along the North Coast.

The Gethenians at least had a sustainable reproductive system, so I guess we could do worse.
There might be an interesting prequel for The Left Hand of Darkness in all this…
My last story in Black Gate — where beauty lies in wait, was inspired by similar things happening amongst fish about 10 years ago. It’s scary stuff.
A great story–and, yes, it is scary.
Having a received a couple of degrees in male-dominated fields and worked in a few male-dominated jobs, let me just say…it could be worse. 😉

Yes I know what you mean, I think. I guess things could always be worse, even in this scenario…
Bertram Chandler wrote a sort of response to Virgin Planet (not Anderson’s best, in my view) called Spartan Planet–which was one of Chandler’s best, in my view. (Of course, that’s a lower standard.)
