A woman (Lucille Ball) single-handedly made sure that Star Trek got put into production and become more than a two-pilot never-been a group of men wanted it to be.

A woman (Bjo Trimble) orchestrated a letter campaigns when the show was in danger of cancellation after its first season.

Three women, (Joan Winston, Eileen Becker and Elyse Pines) was instrumental in creating the first ever exclusive Star Trek convention. Winston even wrote a how-to guide about it in 1977.

So tell me again how women are fake nerds and pushing in on men’s spaces in the Star Trek fandom. You wouldn’t even have one if not for women.

Actually, early Science Fiction fandom was so overwhelming women-dominated that men zine’s editors used to choose female-sounding nick and pseudos to gain more creditability because fanzines and fan fiction was fangirls (or fanwomen and fanladies regarding theirs age) domain
