Re: Fuck you Fandom secrets.

That's a very interesting point, and I definitely agree that there is an imbalance in those terms, and that the broader world at large is constructed around male dominance.

I'm still not sure whether it goes to the heart of the argument, though. Because it feels like the argument on the side of women - at least in my experience - is not about statistical averages; it's about something intrinsic to the genders.

I wouldn't say it's intrinsic to the genders so much as founded upon historical inequality. We're moving away from it and I think as men get increasing exposure to women's stories they're going to be frustrated when it's assumed they know nothing about it, which is understandable. But given that we're still a good bit away from 50:50, it does mean that women still get a lot more exposure to men and men's experience than the reverse.

Although there's been lots of good progress. My 12 year old brother has had a lot more exposure to female perspectives than even I did at his age and, certainly, a TON more than my dad.

I think that's a logical and coherent position to take, and it does make sense. The only problem I have with it is that it just doesn't match my experience in terms of arguments that I've seen people make. And I don't think that's really something that you or anyone can really reconcile; it's probably just that I've had different experiences than you. It doesn't make either one of us wrong. All I can really do is agree with you, I guess.
