And why is it that you think some people WOULDN'T want to stick (for the most part) to the same "role" for most of their lives? Or even just in one relationship, in which they relate to that person that way?

I get really, really frustrated with all this insistence that a) top/bottom or seme/uke or even dom/sub are just mindless reflections of gender roles (NSFW, but HAH (http://malesubmissionart.com/post/85489911/two-men-have-vigorous-doggy-style-anal-sex-on-the)), and b) most people aren't like that, or aren't in relationships like that.

Because yes, a) can sometimes be true, if someone is locked into thinking of relationships as being about, "who is the woman," but I think that accusation is often leveled prematurely.

And regarding b), good god, some people are! Some people really do prefer to either top or bottom. Some people find one role distasteful, and would only perform in that role (if at all) to please their partner. Some people can't find the so-called "egalitarian" approach to sex appealing or sexy or easy to relate to.

It's true that in real life, relationships tend to be a bit more complicated; but it's not like these things really don't exist. And real relationships are always more complicated than fictional depictions anyway!

I mean, if people want to see something else - by all means, they should go ahead and write it. Encourage the creation of other dynamics.

But, "stop writing that, it's sexist and not realistic," is really just kind of insulting to some people.

I get what you're say, but er... that's not really a great picture to use as your "HAH!" example; the uke is still significantly smaller, paler, and prettier than the seme, with extremely effeminate hair to boot. To those who don't buy into the trope that really just looks like a dude doing 12-year-old girl who happens to be really into it, as opposed to the normal weeping and protests.

To me a "HAH!" example would not only have an aggressive bottom, but he would look in any way masculine whatsoever (it would really show me if he were considerably more masculine than the top). As it stands that still looks like gender roles, only with a slightly more assertive woman.

Not that that's a bad thing. I write femdom all the time.

As for the rest... to each her own, as far as things go in the bedroom, but in my experience people who will never, ever, ever want to top under any circumstance or with any partner are proverbial unicorns, or heavily into BDSM. That it seems to describe the majority of those who bottom in BL is grossly unrealistic and why (well one of the reasons why) I don't really get into the genre anymore. I'm sure there are some people like that, but they are the exceptions and not the rule.
