Fail, Slash Fangirls, Fail

You know what I keep hearing? What pisses me off like no other?

The slasher pov that it is impossible to write a male/female relationship that is equal.

Fuck that.

If you want to write about boys sexing each other, fine, but don't flat-out state that it is impossible for a fictionally heterosexual relationship to ever be equal, as well as implying that every single real world straight relationship is inequal to boot.

Ah yes, of course. Because slashers love perfectly equal relationships, and would never write massive power imbalances for titillation except when they do that constantly.

Damn good point.

But, see, because it's between two men, THEORETICALLY at some point those massive power imbalances could be equaled, which could never, ever happen with a woman in the picture.
