A brief one.

[flyingskull]

I'm utterly geared up for a monumental rant about fanfics and canon and things of that ilk sparked by a fanfcrants post and a couple of replies I received which I'll quote, methinks because they RILLY got me het up but a LOT.

However I'm going to spam you with a VERY obvious observation of mine, videlicet:

No matter how much of a wanker a male can be, females on LJ will treat him so very much better than they treat female wankers. It's like all females on LJ are in AWE of any man or boy who posts or is active in same. There is a sense of solicitude towards male wankers/assholes/psychos/YouGetThePicture that's utterly lacking towards their female counterparts. And, of course, the male wankers - being wankers and worse - USE it and insult posters and all womankind with wild abandon.

WHY? I hate to generalise, but WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK??? Are 90% of the women on LJ braindead subs? Do 90% of the women on LJ regard the male sex with reverential awe? Are 90% of the women on LJ utterly utterly braindead?

WHYYYYYYYY? *she wailed like a banshee*

How do they tell? I've never been able to tell the difference between males and females on LJ, so I behave equally to all of them.

My hypothesis is that because guys are rarer than girls online (especially in fanfiction) are so rare that girls don't want to scare them off. Maybe.

Well, I can generally tell - though, of course not always - but most males will say that themselves once they've been taken for women. And, of course, the wankers will PROCLAIM it from the rooftops.

You may be right. Actually I believe you are, but it's fucking pathetic because I'd rather scare a wanker off than have to deal with his wankiness/arseholishness/psychotic tendencies/misogyny. Prolly that's just me. Oh, and you. *sigh*

Also: ICON LUUURVE!

Why, thank you. I made it myself, with my meager Photoshop skills.

Don't you DARE call your mad 'shop skillz 'meager'!!11eleventypoo

Icon is actually v. v. lovely and my current icon wants to make mad passionate love with it.

I've... never really noticed that, myself. A wanker is a wanker, and I make it a point to mock them equally.

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Yeh. I posted it here because I know I have no wanker or demented LJ woman who gives wankers passes in my flist.

Was just a cry of the heart. Must stop frequenting LJ comms, they give me heartburn. ^_-

[ingriam.livejournal.com]

Well, a fair ammount of them tend to be overrun by morons.

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Yeh. Sad, really.

[baeraad.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Er... what happened, exactly?

I really don't know why. Something to do with the way girls are brought up to sit down and shut up and let the boys talk? (not that teachers and suchlike do it on purpose, but that's the way it tends to turn out)

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

Writing post as of now. 'Course, 'now' being wee hours of night you'll get tomorrow together with this.

Something to do with the way girls are brought up to sit down and shut up and let the boys talk?

Yeh, I suppose. *sigh* Pisses me off no end. Was just LJ comms hopping and, after a while, this truly outrageus behaviour hit me. Not only in so-called snark and/or rant comms, mind you, where I've come to expect it, but in other types of comms as well. Oh, well... Silly to get so het up about net things, I suppose.
