No, your vagina is what makes you a cunt, actually.
You don't have a right to do whatever you want with a copyrighted text, how hard is that to comprehend? Its not a logical extrapolation of anything, its just selfish and greedy. I mean, I get it, and I have a vagina too. So, clearly, that isn't the problem.
That said, I also feel there are some gender issues to consider when it comes to fan fictions. It is predominantly women writing and reading fan fiction. Trying to ignore that is just plain stupid. Clearly, men and women generally respond to and interact with a text in different ways. Some of which are not acceptable to a great many authors, including not legally acceptable.
