When I tried to read Yoshimoto when I was an undergrad I think I found her too whimsical, or something like that--but my reading tastes have changed so much since then, I'm not surprised I like her better now, heh.

There's definitely loads of problematicness in sf/f re: gender & other oppressions, but... yeah, it surprises me when people write it off totally, as a genre, as non-feminist. Er, imagining the future--just possibly a good vehicle for imagining a future where gender roles are different? Hahaha.
