Date: 2008-01-16 11:12 am (UTC)Being mostly female is an emergent, not an essential, characteristic of fanfic-dom. Demographics don't provide a basis for argument here - just imagine any man trying to delineate any historically male-dominated "space" - politics, say, or board memberships - as being for men only.
This is not to quibble with communities policing themselves and making their own standards. But turning "the way it's always been" into "the rules we must enforce" should usually carry a heavier burden of justification, I would've thought.
