• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

I find it strangely disturbing when people specify women/men/black/green/gay/over 40s whatever, in any aspect of our society. This kind of arbitrary line-drawing promotes inequality. There will only be equality when such discrimination is NOT drawn. This is not meant to be incendiary, just common sense.
 
I'm going to start a publishing company that only prints novels by grumpy 63-year-old White men! Hurray, for me!

Seriously, though, imagine the outcry there'd have been had a male author who challenged the publishing industry to handle books written solely by men.

It's just silly. Even when women couldn't publish they found a way to get published and I'm not sure men writing romances as women is all that new of a thing.
