I'm often jolted when I wander to non-LJ places of fandom because I'm now so unused to there being so many...um...guys. Not that we don't have any here! There's some wonderfully fantastic guys here in LJville.

BUT, I also know that men are the numerical minority in LJ fandom. Not only that, but feminist thought and ideas are understood and mostly welcome (and, indeed, almost assumed in some parts).

So I have my little comfortable bubble where people are enlightened and thoughtful and egalitarian. When I step outside to take a peek around fandom-at-large, I get a bit of a shock cause it feels like I wandered into Boyztown.
