(And part of the problem with SG canon is that the writers are a boys' club.)
This is totally true. Some friends of mine met Rachel Luttrell (who plays Teyla) at a convention lately, and asked her why there weren't more scenes between Elizabeth and Teyla, and she said that she thought the writers had a hard time writing for women, which is why the guys get so much attention in the show. Apparently she and Torri Higginson would both love to do more scenes together, and have cooler stuff to do generally. It isn't like the writers have made a conscious decision about it, they're just writing to their strengths.
And I do think there is a large section of fandom that appreciates Teyla and Elizabeth, but they don't seem to fic as much, so they're just not as visible as the slashers and stuff. Certainly most of my friends in the fandom love them and appreciate them as strong female characters in spite of the lack of attention given to them in canon.
