    Perhaps I'd like something other than gender-disparity issues to take center stage in my stories, and have little interest in Martinesque "rape as drama fodder" storytelling.

    It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.

    Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.

    The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.
