An
Estrogen Brigade is the common name for
online fan clubs of
male science fiction actors created by and mostly for
women. These brigade names are often
preceeded by the name of the actor in question, and are enjoyed by
fans across the spectrum, ranging from the
fanatical stalker to the
casual appreciator, with everything in
between.
The brigades are commonly abbreviated using the actor's initials follwed by the letters EB.
A less common variant of the estrogen brigade type of fan club is the Testosterone Brigade, abbreviated as above, but with TB instead.
