PRECISELY THIS.

I read both het and slash, but when I read het with a really attractive female character (which is most times, given the casting of most shows and movies), I can't help thinking "wow, yeah, this is hot...and it'll never happen to me, becuase fucking look at me." When I read slash, that sort of comparison doesn't really happen. If I'm really invested in a pairing (het or slash), it's a lot less of a problem, but it's still there. Even when I'm watching a show, and am really invested in a female character, I find myself getting suuuuper jealous of her sometimes. It's sad.

Quite.

But also, I think, for me, it's not just about attractiveness; it's also about "look at all the things this person knows how to do and how comfortable they are taking on the specific role that the show is placing them in vis-a-vis gender expectations etc, oh God, I suck at everything". Slash gets outside of that.

(except reverse all the genders from your post)
