And again I say, good grief. The SFWA is a relatively small organization—just 1,800 members—but it wields great cultural influence. Members of the SFWA are responsible for nominating the Nebula, a major science-fiction award. When women like Kowal have to fight routine harassment just to participate in spaces like the SFWA, it makes it that much harder for them to write, publish, and be accepted, much less critically recognized for their works. And Kowal’s harassment experience in geek spaces is by no means an isolated one. Though Fodera isn’t a current member, he has a longtime affiliation with the group. And the hundreds of messages on the thread from members and nonmembers prove that he’s not alone.
