Scifi and fantasy have centered male desire for decades. What’s happening now is what's happening in every space that men have dominated, other voices are getting space and that loss of privilege is being framed as exclusion because men are, by and large, childish piss babies.

Saying “for men” simply means less emotion and human connection, it's a self own. That’s just refusing to engage with story. Scifi is about people, the problem is men regressing, not the genre.

"Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition."

There was a period in the 80s where fantasy was seen as more female coded and SF more male coded. Marion Zimmer Bradley, especially, was a major force and highly visible presence in any bookstore.

This was also the height of the Cold War right-wing SF novel, when the genres were much further apart.
