Re: Yet their slash is still het..

[(Anonymous)]

The "woman role" loses everything that makes it annoying when it belongs to a man, because it's no longer the "woman role." It's no longer implying "this is what the woman is like because this is what women are like" (or worse, "this is what my, the author's, ideal woman is like") it's just what the character is like. For me this also applies when it's f/f. I don't mind a character in the "woman role" when both characters are women because it's also no longer saying "this is what all woman are like," it's just "this is what this woman is like, and here's this other woman who's different."

This is a really good point.

Da

Ugh it really is not. Hating women for having feminine traits but give them to men and love it might be internalized misogyny. Besides,
1) you can give the 'woman role' to the man in het too (ever heard about pegging too?) you don't necessarily need m/m slash. Even mpreg you can have it in het, at least you'd have both the required ingredients to cook a baby.
Not to mention how transphobic it is to think that het can only be between cis straight people.
2) if you don't like women having the woman role don't give it to them. We are talking about fanfictions, right? You got the power. This excuse you guys keep using that women are not well written is lame: fangirls are able to give depth to and obsess over any mediocre cliché male character but apparently lose their ability to fanfiction and headcanon when it comes to women (and people of color. And trans women. And lesbians)
Since when slash is even truly based on canon anyway? You don't need canon support.

And most importantly
3) the whole 'one of them must be the woman' is a hurtful trans phobic stereotype for gay men. The idea that gay men must be all effeminate or want to be women is a stereotype they are fighting against since always. Do you know how many straight people I know who say things like 'oh it's obvious he's gay he looks so gay!' or when they meet actual homosexual men who don't fit their stereotype and are like 'oh he's so masculine I'd never guess he was gay!'.


Following the argument here, you'all be fighting against the stereotypes for women by essentially supporting a trans phobic homophobic one well known for homosexual men and gay couples. Nice!
