Yeah, I guess it does depend on the fandom. I also feel like I was being sort of unfair with what I was saying. I think women are definitely capable of writing good gen, but I think they feel discouraged sometimes without at least a decent sized male audience (the people most likely to read gen). In one of my fandoms that has a decent number of both male and female participants, the easily most popular fic with over 4000 favorites is gen written by a women. The second most popular fic is gen written by a man, but it doesn't have nearly as many favorites. The woman with the most popular fic relies on both a male and female audience to leave her lengthy reviews and give her favorites. It's very encouraging.

Now a woman who writes a long romantic slow burn fic for a female dominated fandom is probably going to have mainly female readers. She doesn't rely on a male audience at all. I can understand why she wouldn't bother with gen in that fandom unless it was some sort of oneshot.

I think it's sort of unfortunate. I definitely think gen writers should be encouraged more in female-dominated fandoms where gen tends to be more rare.
