Many years ago, right before FotR came out [In reply to] Can't Post

I somehow got interviewed by USA Today as a result of being a very minor part of this community. One of the questions they asked me cracked me up: "Are any women going to watch this movie?" The movie moguls were afraid LotR would only appeal to teenaged boys, apparently. They weren't counting on the Leggy-loo lovers and the old ladies like me (and many others on these boards) who have loved LotR for decades.

Any chance to revisit that femine thread, [In reply to] Can't Post

is a guarantee of good times ahead.

Well, I am 'basically a girl'. But that is my lot I suppose. Laugh

Male [In reply to] Can't Post

I am a male. Most Tolkien fans I know are males. I honestly don't think it's strictly a male or female fandom. There are plenty of fans of both genders!!!

It was one of the great hilarious moments in TORn history [In reply to] Can't Post

and contributed a new word to the TORn lexicon.

What made it so sweet was the quality of replies, and especially the way the chivalrous men came to the defense of the women.

It also led to this immortal post: Sil's pink bathing suit

Tolkien fandom seems pretty even gender wise [In reply to] Can't Post

As exemplified by TORn. I can say I'm quite proud of that fact.

Male here [In reply to] Can't Post

Interesting to see women are overrepresented by quite a margin, if the poll is representative of the site at large, which is perfectly fine by me I should add. In most "genre fanbases" it feels like the guys tend to outnumber the girls by far, always nice to see a larger female presence. Smile

There are just under 11,000 members on TORn forum. I'd imagine if we knew the sex of each member, it would be split roughly 50/50. Since we've got such a large sample, I'd be surprised if it wasn't an even split. In other words, the Tolkien fanbase is neither female or male orientated. I think perhaps it is the forum regulars that skew this poll.
