Being "predominantly female" and being a "female place" are not the same thing to me. A "female place" sounds like it intentionally excludes males, whereas just being "predominantly female" means more females than males are interested in interacting in it.

I think the lines between those two things are much more ambiguous and that there are ways in which the different modes of interaction in a space that's predominantly female can mark it out as being culturally female, in the same way you can have culturally male spaces that don't explicitly exclude females, but I won't insist on the idea and in any case, we're approaching the point of having an argument that's entirely about defining terms and that's usually really dull so yeah.

I hear you.

I read a lot of fic, a lot in the spn fandom. I write it too.

and while most of the people I follow are female writers (because I like their stuff, they have the same kinks as me), although there are also genderfluid and gay males that I read as well. (there may even be straight men, because not everyone states their gender and sexual preferences).

Just to be clear here, I'm not at all saying that there aren't or shouldn't be men in this part of fandom. It would be deeply ironic and pointless for me to say so, as well as wrong. I'm saying I think it's culturally female.
