"men's "transformative works" are, you know, nice and all, but they tend to lack the subversive blah-dee-blah of the stuff women make."

Ecch. That would just be annoying.

"Look at the way sf fans act as if speculative fiction is the only genre to really explore the limits of the human spirit or whatever."

Yeah, the old "literature of ideas" spiel. As if there aren't any ideas anywhere else.

The sum total of it all is "isolate any group of like-minded individuals and before long someone starts talking absolute bunk and most of the people listening quite astonishingly find themselves in agreement". Which is why "spaces" can be a dumb idea.

I don't really like media fandom, though. Or fanfic, or ... so I should really shut up now.
