Oh, Please don't worry - it absolutely wasn't! I really appreciate how you can always express your point without negativeness.

I understand your frustration - I agree that the fandom seems to be mainly about men, men men, always men. I happen to be interested mostly in men and I can easily LOVE a show without any women where it makes sense, like "Generation Kill". The things I am not particular keen are when the female characters in a show are not "done right". This usually means that I am not going to watch the show anymore.

On this point - I wonder if you ever watched "Battlestar Galactica", one of the recent shows that abounds with strong female characters of various descriptions. There are HUGE fandom followings of Six, Starbuck, Boomer/Athena, Laura Roslin. When one sees a BSG icon it is 70% an icon of a female character.
