More female space
Well it's crunch time for me. These next three weeks are going to mark the beginning of my writing process for this project. I'm going to rapid-fire some questions at you over the next week and a half or two weeks and then completely disappear for a while. Before I disappear, however, I'm probably going to open up posting access so that all members may post.
That last question's responses were so fantastic. Thank you all. Based on those responses (I was afraid of being accused of "tricking" you all but you're way too smart for that)....

Would you define fandom as a female space if we tweak the previous definition a bit and say a "female space" is "a space in which women can be whatever they like without fear of or having to fight against being silenced, attacked, intimidated, dominated or otherwise disempowered by others in that space for any particular female state of being (thanks to
minor_ramblings for the working).
In addition, is it your experience that fandom is largely composed on one gender or another? If so, please define your "type" of fandom (ie TV, movie, book, comics, anime, etc), ETA2: whether you participate in that fandom on LJ or other places on the internet and toward which gender it skews.
ETA: "Female state of being" simply means "identifying as female or being seen by others as female." Meaning do you think people are silenced, attacked, etc because they are female?
