Heh. Well, I actually had a much longer comment, but I had to run somewhere ;).
The thing is, I was pondering the idea that while women do (societally) barge into male spaces (mostly in order to get the privileges that go with being in those spaces), in fandom, they often create their own. And so it's doubly frustrating when a man assumes male privilege in those spaces.
I see my comics fannishness as a subset of my media fannishness, which is a predominatly female space.
