I'm no longer sure that all males and females in this project dare acadedmic feminists (though I'm not sure what you mean by that). In my terminology, that means someone who not only identifies as a feminist (as Henry does) but who consciously and deeply integrates feminist/gender theory/ideas into hir scholarship. For example, I asked Henry about the lack of gender analysis in his current retrofuture comics analysis.

I can give you the names of several males who write feminist sf criticism who are feminists: Mike Levy, Robert von der Osten, Brian Attebery (all of whom I know, and whose work I know). Peter Fitting has written very good stuff on feminist utopias but I haven't met him.

I in no way see WB as a feminist by any definition of the term.
