\\\"Some Fan Fiction writers hypothesize that Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls is the reason why \\\'fanfiction\\\' is considered to be so viscerally disgusting by so many people. It\\\'s worth observing that on this wiki, most of the fanfiction included in tropes lists is either adventure-based stuff written by boys (Shinji And Warhammer40k), or relationship-based stuff that\\\'s legendarily bad (My Immortal).

This opinion has even been documented in academic analysis of Fan Fic by ethnographer Camille Bacon-Smith and MIT\\\'s Henry Jenkins. Jenkins goes as far to postulate in Textual Poachers that Fan Fic in general is a reaction on the part of a female audience trying to find their own pleasures in predominantly-male media.\\\"

I suppose also related to this is an assumption that Shipping is something only Girls would be interested in (Especially the shipping of non cannon couples) Men think GirlOnGirlIsHot but they obviously don\\\'t care about actual Romance between the girls, because mainstream audience don\\\'t know about the YuriFanboy. These assumption always annoy me, as a Man who loves his Shiping, Lesbian couples, Straight couples and even occasionally a Gay Male Couple.
