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.

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

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)
