Amongst my other social problems, I’m a Sci Fi nerd. When done well, Sci Fi (and its cousin Fantasy) manages to untangle itself from mainstream ideas of gender, and can often career down some interesting feminist pathways. Equally, when done badly it can look like a strangely silver and laserbeam version of Traditional Family Values. Take this book<\/a>, for instance.<\/p>\n

$\"Katee$ <\/a>

Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyhow, on to finer things.<\/p>\n

Now, I particularly love Katee Sackhoff<\/a> as Starbuck in the revamped Battlestar Galatica<\/a>. And that in itself would be a Found Feminism, if it weren’t already enormously obvious, especially after everyone (well, some bloke<\/a>) got their knickers in a twist over Starbuck being played by a woman.<\/p>\n

For reference, a good interview with Ron Moore, the director, on that decision is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We can rejoice in that decision, and also now in the existence of (new) Starbuck as an internet meme.<\/p>\n

Which brings me rather meanderingly to the actual Found Feminism. This hashtag: #thingsstarbuckwouldntsay<\/a>, started off on Twitter by Katee herself. <\/p>\n

Personal favourites, hand picked by fellow Bad Repper and Sci Fi nerd, Steve:<\/p>\n

Does this flightsuit clash with my highlights?<\/p>\n

I’m sure you’re all going the right way, … men always have a better sense of direction.<\/p>\n

How many calories are in this drink?<\/p>\n

I can’t go yet. I’m finishing my makeup!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Could Things Starbuck Wouldn’t Say be a Skippy’s List<\/a> for Found Feminism?<\/p>\n

So say we all.<\/p>\n
