Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do believe there are differences between men in women besides goolies and socialization

I think most instances of men in women boils down to goolies, with socialisation if they're lucky.

However, to not harp on the typo -- what's left when you take biology and sociology out of the picture?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

As an aside, 3 mil in pledges is surely nice. I can pledge a llama and a case of Do Equiis, but really, doesn't mean I'll give it.

If I only had a brain...

She didn't say "biology", she said "Goolies". There are sex-linked differences in other parts of the bodies than goolies.

Sorry -- I assumed that she was using my blanket usage of goolies detailed upthread.

My bad.

What is even happening?

Or is the male lack-of-cooperation posited to make fandoms female? Is that how far back the causality goes?
That's what I was wondering about, when I mentioned I thought there are other differences between men and women than just their physical sex. Surely the internet isn't predominantly female, and I'm guessing that the earliest internet fandoms were probably mostly male. Does anyone know if that's true?

My experience is way skewed, because it is almost all Buffy & Joss related. I know those fandoms are heavily female where the internet is concerned. Buffy and internet fandom owe a lot to each other (in my opinion) though. Each sort of helped make a name for the other. I bothered to tune into Buffy, because the Bronze got buzz in local papers, a couple of times.

If I were really good at rhetoric, I would say "Ah, t X ", where X is the rhetorical term for the part used to represent the whole.

Unfortunately, I forget that word.

Okay, say the pledges don't come through. Remove that from the equation. I still see a bunch of guys doing a save our show campaign, and still have no idea from the people who say it's sex-linked why or where it's a sex-linked deal. Where is the evidence XY can't/won't do this? How are you defining your "this"?

That's what I'm asking.

Was the claim ever that broad, though? I read it more as XY isn't the usual do-er of this.

I roll that into "won't" without breaking my definition of the term.
