I have not had the time or physical closeness to truly do much for SFWA. I've seen a lot of the aftermath of the kerfuffle, but have not known much about it. I'm really pleased that the board has moved in a sensible way. My personal first reaction was not to run away, but to think that now that I will hopefully have more time and be able to participate in activities, that maybe I can affect positive change from within. The members I've met are overwhelmingly not misogynistic, so I can't help but think there's an overly vocal minority getting more air time than they deserve.
