I must admit I read OP's statement not so much as bashing women's status than a critique of their roles in popular media. True it's gotten better in recent decades but it wasn't long ago that female roles in TV shows, movies, books, etc. were marginalized to wives at home. Not saying being a stay-at-home wife is bad but when authors used it as an excuse to exclude the female character completely from the story it became infuriating and a natural response was to ignore the failure that was the female love interest and focus on the brother-in-arms.

Maybe I tend to seek the positive too much in everything but that's how I read it. *shrug*

You're giving them too much credit.

"It's much more interesting to be someone's brother in arms rather than a wife waiting for them at home."

Notice how both character types are firmly gendered. Not a compatriot in arms, nor a spouse waiting for them at home. Male, female. Mutually exclusive! (And "be?" Who is being anything?)

"It's more dramatic to have a forbidden relationship than a date followed by a wedding."

Notice how het and slash relationships are again firmly mutually exclusive. Het is a date followed by a wedding. Slash is forbidden relationships. Because all het is acceptable, all of it, and all slash is forbidden. All of it.

"Not saying it in fandom because of lots of married women there."

^ What the hell does that even have to do with anything, besides showing OP's inherent misogyny? Not married people, but married women. What difference does it make if they're married or not? Say a stupid thing like "straight relationships are boring, everyone gets married and lives happily ever after, how uninteresting," and get a backlash in response. But no, only married women care.

And they are calling all het relationships boring and simple. Makes you wonder what they plan to to with their relationships in the future once they realize they can't magically transform into a gay brother-in-arms.

I could go on, but I don't think this person is worth you giving them the benefit of the doubt.

(And "be?" Who is being anything?)

Yeah, that's the part that pinged me hard. The OP wasn't saying it's more interesting to read about, or more fun to watch on TV, or to imagine themselves to be or anything like that, they were saying more fun to be. That's a little cray-cray.

It sounds imo like the OP wants more excitement in their IRL relationships and can't find any, and is turning to slash to get angst and drama vicariously from what they say about escaping reality.

That, and that they simply have some kind of misogynist hate-on for het. Because every slash fan will admit that 95% of all slash is utter shit. Every het fan will admit that 95% of all het is utter shit. The point is finding the gems, not dismissing the categories entirely.
