stonemagpiewoman asked: A bit late but re: that post you had about the breakdown of American taxes. Fun fact: Americans pay more in taxes for healthcare than Canadians - but don't even get universal healthcare. I have a link to the data from HealthAffairs if you want it, but I dont think asks let me post links. That's pretty messed up, though.

“Female Star Trek fans [are] among the most active in engaging their sci-fi hobby in creative ways, cosplaying, writing fan-fiction, and producing artwork generally more than their male counterparts,” sociologists Maria and John Jose-Tenuto wrote earlier this year, describing the findings of an international, 8,000-fan survey they conducted back in 2006 to study fandom subcultures. “The strong connection with Star Trek by female fans has its roots in the initial days of fandom when pioneers like Bjo Trimble, Eileen Becker, Elyse Pines, Shirley Maiewski, Devra and Deborah Langsam, and Jacqueline Lichtenberg helped pave the way for many of the same fan activities in existence today.”
