I think it was during the 1970s that male spec-fic writers began to say that they weren't getting farther because they were male.. All the hot new writers were women, except James Tiptree, Jr.
This year or last, a fairly well-known sf writer explained that sf's sales were going down because of the fantasy conspiracy.
And currently, there are a fair number of US political candidates who seem to think they're entitled to election or re-election. And professional campaign runners who are outraged at the amateurs getting involved by using newfangled devices like computers and telephones. "Hey, I've had years of experience as a Democratic campaigner! I got my start working on the McGovern Presidential campaign!"
