gender and sexuality in science fiction we must first agree that women and men are inherently of equal worth‚ as many writers of feminist science fiction use the genre’s position to discuss issues of change‚ injustice‚ and social partitions (Calvin). The motif of gender and sexuality in science fiction is not restricted to just one subgenre of science fiction but shows up in nearly all varieties‚ creating hybrids in the science fiction world.

Analysis of Pulp Fiction by Alan Stone Alan Stone states his thesis as “Pulp Fiction is already building a cult following‚ even as its mother-fucker language and graphic violence offends others” (610). Much like Tarantino’s film‚ Stone’s article biases toward an audience with a high level of tolerance for violence‚ sick humor‚ and strong language and his ideas jump around like the scenes in the movie and leave the reader confused with poor organization. Right from the introduction paragraph

Genre and Science Fiction Genre‚ as defined by the Oxford dictionary (2010)‚ is “a style or category of art‚ music‚ or literature”. It is a term that is easy to define but hard to understand.
