What is even the point of this overly hostile comment? The secret acknowledges that maledom is more popular, that's kinda the whole point. And where are you getting that the majority of women on F!S like femdom? Some do but there are a lot of female subs/those who prefer subby women in fiction here.

This is just my personal impression, but F!S, like a lot of fandom spaces, tends to reject mainstream gender roles, and I think a preference for femdom is a part of that. I mean, if we were all down with dominant men, we wouldn't be reading slash fanfiction, we'd be off reading Harlequins. That's my personal theory, anyway. I do see fandom in many ways as offering alternative romance fiction for those who don't like the mainstream romance novel norm (hetersexual maledom, largely).

I say this as someone who is DESPERATE to find romance novels with non-stereotypical gender roles. They are few and far between...

I was surprised to find a BDSM romance novel (that PREDATED the 50 Shades thing) not too long ago, where the woman was the dom. Curious, I leafed through it.

The plot is her sub guy deciding to switch roles and she ends up loving it so much he stays the dom forever because he's unlocked her inner self.

I think there's a lot of that on F!S but there are also a lot of people who like traditional roles, as other conversations can bear witness to.
