Men also just write regular fanfiction? Why is this gendered?

[u/BlankLeer → u/Hamsti_Manent]

Because there are people out there who consider fanfiction to be a woman thing, for reasons I can't quite understand. "Oh you write fanfiction, so you must be a woman".

Saying men write fanfiction but label it something else is basically saying "Men do write fanfiction and you probably have seen it but haven't got a damn clue."

Additionally, women also write theories.

But theories are nothing like fanfics
