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.

*shrugs* Fandom opinions are manifestations of core beliefs, which themselves are largely the product of how we were raised and who raised us. (And genetics. It's actually kind of frightening how much those control our non-physical traits.)

But I understand the nerves, I think. It really isn't my place to comment on other people's familial relationships, especially when I know nothing about them and I'm just making assumptions. (Not to mention that Freudian psych is pure squick.)

Yeah, it's when people start making assumptions not just about the person's beliefs (which, they've given us reasonable evidence for) but their personal life, that I get nervous about it.

Yep.
