Um. I understand what you're saying about male and female, but to me the distinction is rather between the conscious and the unconscious. I believe that science fiction comes from the conscious part of the brain, the rational, thinking, logical part, and fantasy relates to the unconscious, where lies our need for story. When I read fantasy, it's feeding that need directly, and bypassing the conscious area that wants things to make sense, or be "realistic".
