SF: m-f ratio

Against the conventional wisdom that holds that SF is an adolescent male genre, there is the fact of active participation by females of all ages. I was reminded of this at the Burqa Babe party, thrown by the dancers at the con, where the ratio was 15 female to 8 male participants when I counted heads about midnight. I guess all the guys were at the Toxic Waste party next door.

I say that the SF conventual wisdom is: participants will put a lot of energy into violating conventual wisdom.
