Reposting a comment I left in cynthia1960's journal:

I actually think what WisCon is struggling with, as an institution, is whether it wants to be an SF/literary con with bonus social-justice-feminism, or whether it wants to be a Social-Justice-Feminism convention for people who are into science fiction and fantasy.

Yes, that is completely and totally it, I think. Well, that and the fact that it already is both, in the same space, with plenty of overlap...

I think you're right--and the two are definitely at odds in this case.

Very astute. I've passed this on to someone who doesn't do lots of internetting but who is very into WisCon.
