As someone with no personal interest in slash I've heard it said that it's empowering because it's putting male characters in the hands of women writers. Which...I kind of get?

But personally I think it's a way of slash writers who are otherwise a little embarrassed about what they do with their free time justifying their hobby by giving it a feminist angle. Which is sad for two reasons: a) people should be able to enjoy what they want without needing reasons for it, and b) female characters aren't exactly treated nicely in a lot of slash fandoms, which kind of deflates the whole feminist argument.

But like I said, I'm just an outsider looking in, so don't consider this any sort of expert opinion.
