[(Anonymous)]

why though.

the only ones who care this much about your gender is you and resident radfem.

[(Anonymous)]

1) That is stupid to think.
2) I can't wait for trolls to explain to you why you don't belong on here.

[(Anonymous)]

You belooooong!

It's my default image that everyone here minus two named users is a woman, but I'd love to have that image changed. Yay for men in stereotypically female-dominated fandom spaces!

[badass_tiger]

Who really 'fits in' on f!s though? Getting dogpiled for an opinion is basically a rite of passage around here. I've been here since it was hosted on LJ and I don't feel like I fit in on f!s either.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't worry about it! As long as you're unemployed and have severe social anxiety, you'll fit in fine!

[(Anonymous)]

No one gives a shit except that one radfem anon.

[(Anonymous)]

I do want to say that I'm not entirely sure that the only one who cares about gender is radfem. I think that radfem is the only one who explicitly cares about gender but I think there are times that the comm's general mindset is very much weighted that way, and I think there are times it results in unconscious judgments, assumptions, double standards, etc.

I mean it's still a silly complaint, because there's not anything like hostility, and dealing with being in a place where you're not in the majority is just something you have to learn in life (and certainly one could make some well-taken points about the patriarchy here). But I don't think OP is totally off their rocker, you know?

[(Anonymous)]

Dude, I don't think gender matters two bits to the people on here.

[kallanda_lee]

Well, you're not the only one. And that's from named users we know.

[(Anonymous)]

you are correct :)

[nanslice]

Uh. This place seems pretty friendly towards dudes.

[(Anonymous)]

D'awww. The battle rages on and all of that poetic shite. (Or you can focus on other interests, like.)

[(Anonymous)]

Hey radfem sock puppet

[aenrhien]

There are a few of us hanging around here though.

[(Anonymous)]

That's just silly OP. Don't let "feminist" trolls scare you away.

[(Anonymous)]

Why? There are men on FS already, after all, and a user's gender isn't always obvious unless you want it to be. Or is it merely being in the minority that makes you feel weird?

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone is welcome here. Just don't be an asshole. That's all we ask and if you do then be prepared to get called on it.

[elaminator]

Tbh I feel like the majority of us don't care what gender you are, and we won't even know if you don't feel like telling us. (Though we have more than a few guys around already, and a few more won't hurt!)

There might be a few people who aren't so welcoming, but people who disapprove (for whatever reason) aren't exactly few and far between on the internet.

You shouldn't worry too much about it.

[(Anonymous)]

huh. f!s is the only online community I frequent that has quite a few visible male members.

[eyeshine72]

I thought there were plenty of guys on here.

[herpymcderp]

But why tho?

Come to my arms, OP. I will protect you from the scary women.

You are not alone.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a man! I post anon a lot, but I am.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought most people here were men tbh

[(Anonymous)]

The thing is, spaces these days are either hostile towards men or hostile towards women. Now I do think F!S is very moderate, but I can see why certain types of men might not feel welcomed here, so yeah, maybe we are marginally more hostile towards men than women. But given the options, I think we are making the right choice. If we have to let the pressures weigh against one group or the other, I think it will be remembered by our members that we made the right call.
