Blog Set 8: Gender and Sexuality


Frederik Pohl's “Day Million” (1966) 



The narrator begins by promising to tell us a “love story” but then keeps overturning our expectations. How is this not a conventional love story? How is Don not really a “man” and Dora not really a “woman”?




Joanna Russ' “When It Changed” (1972) 


What is parthenogenesis? Are human males really needed for species reproduction? If not, what other purpose do they serve, if any?
