I've been reading these gender threads, and trying to pin down where I fit on the fanboy-girl spectrum.
I do not get obsessive about details and continuity, for their own sake. But I like to know where I can find the information if I want to join in a conversation with people if the topic comes up. In other words, I can play the role of detail geek if it helps me establish a relationship with other fans. I guess that's fangirl-ish
I do not squee over actors, characters, and their 'shipping within a show. But I do get a squeeful lump in my throat when I think about the broader, philosophical implications of a story -- its worldview. Not sure which gender that fits, if either.
I amuse myself by working out theories behind the details we're shown -- not sure, but this may be fanboyish ??

So slightly more fangirlish, I think, maybe...
