Hee! That's really kind of awesome. That conversation just pissed me off *SO MUCH* - between that and an in-class discussion where she asked for our opinions on a group of stories (including Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream") and I said that I hadn't liked them because they were unrelentingly dark without showing any hope and she told me (in class) what amounted to everything couldn't be happiness and fairy tales and was generally nasty about it. Also, she insisted on treating everything in feminist context (even though it was general sci-fi, not feminist sci-fi) to the exclusion of almost everything else. I didn't realize all the background in German Expressionism in Metropolis until I took another class later that studied the movie.
