Marine Science Fiction Writer Blacklisted for Comments On Islamic Center
by This Ain't Hell https://www.legal-project.org/850/marine-science-fiction-writer-blacklisted-for Excerpt: Instapundit and Ace of Spades have already talked about this a little bit, but they're coming at it from the outside. This has been on my radar for a while, but it's finally gotten to the point where I think it's absolutely awful and have to say something. In Defense of Elizabeth Moon Elizabeth Moon is a pretty extraordinary woman. She made the decision to join the Marine Corps as an officer during the Vietnam War, at a time many men were unwilling to. She is the child of a single parent, and an utterly self-made woman with multiple college degrees. She is also the mother of an autistic child and has done some pretty impressive advocating for disabled children. She writes some great Military Science Fiction books, with strong female characters-because she knows from experience that women can be a lot of pretty amazing things. Moon exemplifies in many ways what I think of as feminism-that any woman can and should have the ability to be whatever she wants to be, from serving her country to being a mother-tigress. To this end, she was chosen as a Guest of Honor at Wiscon, a feminist science fiction convention. This was an excellent choice-she started writing early on in a field where there were few women writers, and she's pretty consistently been a supportive voice for them, while declaring that to be a feminist means you believe women are strong. All was well…until, on her own personal blog, she made a 9/11 post about the proposed Islamic Center in NYC, and overall, about immigrant assimilation in America.
