People put too much stock into gender and sex to begin with, and unfortunately it tends to be particularly bad with yaoi and slash; there's this ridiculous expectation that one partner HAS to be "the woman" of the relationship. I don't know which is more offensive: assuming that there HAS to be a submissive partner in the first place, or that such submission is a "female" quality. :/
