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.
EXACTLY. This is my reaction, too. The starting line is in a totally different place out there than it is in here.
