Love Is Not A Contract

I think I may need to stop listening to femmeslash radio.

I was listening to them talk about Ivy/Rachel and I had to delete the program off my iPod out of rage.

Look, I know it's frustrating when an author is being a total cocktease about a pairing, and frankly, I sympathize.

What I don't sympathize with or agree with and actually find rather morally abhorrent is the idea that Rachel is somehow obligated to be in a relationship with Ivy because Ivy loves her a ridiculous amount.

No.

Being in love with someone doesn't obligate them to love you back.

Besides which, why is no one mentioning that while Ivy is bisexual, Rachel has said over and over and over that she's straight?

Call me crazy, but there is this little think I like to do called "respecting other people's sexual identity" where I don't assume that I know better than they do which gender they prefer.
