he fact that slash/yaoi often portrays unrealistic and objectified males.
You're right, I didn't think of this.
Just as easily as someone could write about two men who were driven to each other by a long line of women who are portrayed as horrible witches who used them, one could write a story about Amazon warriors that are convinced men are apes that are only good for reproduction and that real pleasure and understanding CAN ONLY be found in another woman.
This is true. However, have you found that trope to exist in a significant portion of femmeslash? I know I didn't say this in my main post, but I was purposely writing about problems that I have seen in multiple fics, and in my readings of femmeslash, I've yet to come across it.
