Re: Why do men and women tend to have different fandom styles?

[(Anonymous)]

Huh? The height of my fandom days were in LJ, and that was female-dominated, and basically all discussion.

I think it literally just has to do with spaces, for one. Since blog-style areas tend to be associated with women, more women go there. I've also been on male-dominated spaces - like, official game forums and such, and yeah, the conversation reflects the different style of outlet, I think.

It might be more socially acceptable for women to write fanfic and make fanart, but I'd say that very tentatively because guys have been doing it for just as long. I think it remains a matter of, Fanfiction.net and the like tend to be female dominated, and so does Deviantart (this is just generally speaking, there are large male populations at both places). And advertising fic and art is much easier and more socially acceptable to do on LJ/tumblr type platforms, not Internet forums and such. It's just the culture of the place you interact at, I think. And sociologically speaking it's not too surprising that people either a) feel more comfortable around their own gender or, b) do what their (same-gendered) friends do, and tag along with their crowds.
