150. Perhaps I'm just evil or mean, but I really have trouble caring when this is an issue that has plagued women and their relationships to one another or other men for as long as can be remembered.

That's part of the reason I do like slash. I get so tired of seeing a woman I like and relate to, only to inevitably have her end up in romantic entanglements that I don't like or relate to. I'm sick of thoroughly enjoying a male-female friendship, only to become depressed when I remember that no matter how interesting or nuanced their relationship is at the moment, it will inevitably succumb to romance.

This is nothing against romance. I love romance--het slash or femslash, it's all good--but there is a world of difference between me choosing to see something more between people, and being told by society time and time again that when women are "too close" they are automatically lesbians, and that friendship between a man and a woman is an impossibility ("unless one of them is ugly, har!").

So pardon me if I'm not crying a river over your precious male-male friendships, which have been sanctified for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

THIS. Forget fiction, real life attitudes in Western societies have long held that men and women cannot be friends. (Occasionally, we are even from different "planets".) How is slash any worse than the female best friend who will always turn out to be in love with the leading man?
