Bammel? Sabine? Spoggly? Namaste?

queenzulu makes a compelling case for a House-AU of mine being anti-feminist here. It's very thought-provoking. Anything you'd be interested to add? I'd love to hear more analysis and opinions.

Please note that this is critical analysis of text/writing, not of me as a person. There is implication throughout the commentary about an author's responsibility for the end product of a work, which is an important idea that needs to be considered.

But Pillory is narrated by James, so I don't see how you could have made it clear that you didn't dislike and dismiss Alison/Cameron without an author's note, and I never see the point of that kind of note. The author's opinions are not those of the characters, and if someone can't grasp that, it's not the author's fault (presumably they don't think that, for example, Stephen King goes around torturing and murdering people...)

It would be like saying that it was wrong or bad of you to make Cuddy have to be a 'man' before she was allowed to do anything 'man-like' - IMO, if you hadn't, it would have been totally wrong for that particular universe.

I have to say that I find it irksome when people say you shouldn't write something because it's bad for some group or other. The whole point of writing fiction, to me, is to explore the 'what if?'

Edited because one word can make all the difference... *rolls eyes at self*

Yes to this. *nods emphatically*
