5: Advertised as for women that like yaoi, so I'm going with the assumption no men participated.
6: 2.5% male.
7: 3.68% male
8: Gender not specified.
9: Not in poll form, I honestly do not have the time or inclination to weed through the comments.
10: Again, no gender specified.
I'd just like to point out that even if every guy that responded in those polls is gay and write stuff rather than just reading stuff... they don't make up more than 4% of the slash writers out there according to the numbers you put up here.
I think you are seriously downplaying the issue of someone other than queer men appropriating the experiences of queer men in slash. 96% of slash being written by women? It doesn't matter if 90% of them are queer, it's still appropriative.
