I don't think that's her point.

I think her point was that *some* women may choose to remain in fanfic *instead* of wanting to develop original writing because of social pressures and conditioning, which operate more on the unconscious level than the conscious.

The poverty aspect is actually a very minor part of her essay, and I think she made a mistake by making it part of the title.

But I know that you and I approach this sort of thing from very different perspectives, so I'm not trying to start an argument here, just offer a comment.
