Personnaly, it bother me when people are trying to explain to me that fandom belongs to women(fandom don't belongs to women, it don't belong to men either, and it don't belong to fanlib, it belongs to fan regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, nationality, political or religious opinion, et caetera).
It bother me when people are explaining to me that women are not writing for guys but for other women and that most of fanfictions aren't written for guys, it seemed disrespectfull for both guys(they could not enjoy something written by a woman or beeing interessed by something which interess a woman, that what I should understood?)and women(women are writing for readers and communicate something to human beeings with their writings. I don't think they thought that ONLY woman could respect their works and enjoy them).
It bother me when people are explaining to me that fandom should be seen as a form of feminine litterature which allows women to share their views, I find it disrespectfull for the fanfictions in general since it means it's just a substitute to real litterature(womena re riting them because society mades ahrder for them to wrote "real" litterature), and I've a problem with the concept of feminine litterature in itself(I would have the same problem if people were talking about male litterature, heterosexual litterature or white litterature).
And finally, it bother me when people are claiming that fandom is their own business and that fanlib is puting a foot in their sandbox. Fandom belongs to everyone, even if women are the majority(I would never denie that and it had never bothered me), they haven't more right about fandom that guys.We are ALL concerned. And no, I didn't put the opinions which bother me out of my hat, I'ev seen people claiming them.-_-;
After, I don't said that EVERY people who are talking about the gender issue have this kind of behaviour, and I could conced there is maybe some misunderstanding between some of the people which bother me and myself, maybe that I haven't understood their opinions.
