Quoted from “The Production of Culture” by Diana Crane:
“As Bacon-Smith (1991) shows, middle-aged women whose possibilities for marriage have been eroded by demographic changes in the availability of male partners are particularly likely to form social communities of science-fiction television series enthusiasts.”
Laugh? Cry? Not quite sure how to react, to be honest..ah, the stigma of being a quasi-fan of sci-fi-ish types of things…
ouch ouch ouch ouch. and i don’t even watch sci-fi – it usually requires cable and i’m too cheap. but i’ve been known to appreciate a good movie here or there.
