I haven't seen much of the warped attitudes about males that you're talking about, although from my limited experience with rabid yaoi fandom, I can see how it'd happen. Ouch.

I don't think that everyone in fandom who holds female characters to ridiculous double standards, tosses around phrases like "whore" and "slut," and insists that only "badass" masculine women are strong is going around doing the same thing to real women. However, I do think that taking that attitude towards fictional females bodes ill for their perceptions of real women in the long run and contributes to the pervasive current of misogyny that snakes through our society. :/

But yeah, I agree that fandom has issues with gender in general. I just think that its issues with men are more...specialized, if you will.
