Clark Ashton Smith and Stanley Weinbaum are also great from the classic era.Very imaginative stuff-Weinbaum’s “A Martian Odyssey”is exactly what you’re talking about when you describe aliens as distinctly devoid of human characteristics.

But I still don’t know what the female version of Curmudgeon is. Does it follow the Smurf/Smurfette rule? Curmudgeon is defined as ‘a cranky old man‘, and while there are a bevy of colorful adjectives to describe cranky old women, I still want to know what directly corresponds to curmudgeon for the fairer sex .
Until I find that elusive term, I’m stuck with labeling myself a b*tch, which is so predictable and boring. And, in my mind, misses the mark.

Thank you for your insights, NinjaNurse,
I’m just a b*itchy, curmudgeon-type woman who was just passing by,
Debi :-)
