the problem with genderbend stories
my cis!bend Avengers AU is giving me problems
because if I do a complete cisbend, that would make just about every Asgardian warrior female, and Odin a woman
which means Asgard would be essentially a perfect matriarchy where all the power was with the women and the men were looked down on
and the thing is, my fem!Tony wouldn't be cool with the man-hating bit
....but otherwise she'd be all over that shit
and basically the story would look like:
Thor comes to Earth, Thor explains her culture to Tony
Tony decides to start investing in Asgardian real estate
Loki comes to invade Earth and Tony is like wtf are you doing why would you leave Asgard in the first place
the story ends with Tony jumping on the tesseract when Thor and Loki try to leave and starting up the Asgard branch of Stark Industries
....much as this amuses me, it's not really the story I was planning on writing
