Feminist and leftist writers are definitely incapable of getting lost in a fantasy setting. They have to use a fantasy setting to overtly spread their own ideologies, using the setting as a skinsuit to spread the message. They're incapable of nuance, which is why their messaging feels like being hit over the head with a hammer, and drives people away. Whereas intelligently written fantasy and scifi hides the messages much better, leaving the created world feeling real, where the lessons contained within make sense within the confines of the world, the characters, and the story, letting the reader interpret the lessons for themselves, making them much more widely applicable.
In a broader sense, I think men are predisposed to be better fantasy and scifi writers than women, for the same reasons above. Women, at least modern women, want the attention to be on them, so their created worlds feel hollow, merely a backdrop to tell the story they want, replete with the central girlboss character that's an obvious stand in for the writer. Men are less vain, so they're better able to leave themselves out of it, to let the story tell itself, while he merely sets up the chessboard. At least that's what I've seen.
