I think a non-gendered fandom space would be wonderful, it's a great thing to want, it's just not what we actually have. Yet.

Looking at the posts above there are obviously palces where it is true that tehre is an even mix of genders or where gender doesn't matter at all but taken overall there are definitely gender differences in fandom. I was at a Harry Potter con this weekend and which was something like 15% male... obviously that 15% was important and very much part of the community but it is a fact that overwhelmingly the online Harry Potter community (and specifically the LJ aprt of it) is rpedominantly female and that's something that can't be brushed away or ignored.

I've always found being online that it's itneresting to be able to speak to people before you know their gender, or race, or age etc. and perhaps we have to be careful we don't deliberately seperate female fans from male ones because obviously there is crossover but gender is an issue and it isn't going away.

So yes, good thing to want just not reality. Yet. *g*
