First off, it's meant for women in general, not just straight ones. I don't think it must reflect real gay relationships, since obviously the vast majority of BL writers/artists don't have that experience and this is a fictional story. However, I think that it could stand to have less misogyny and homophobia, and just in general be more respectful, even if it's a fantasy.

I guess I'm just a little confused about Japanese culture here. I'd think that they'd want the men to be feminine but not in a terribly stereotypical way, to keep that sense of distance but also making the semi-self insert character like a stronger, cooler version of themselves. Kind of like a Mary-Sue, I guess, but I'm meaning that in a positive way. I think there's a way to make the uke girly and to make him have weakness without resorting to offensive stereotypes, and that sexism in a culture shouldn't be used as an excuse for it.

Also, I've noticed that recently, more BL manga is moving towards more boyish/cool-feminine uke. However, that could just be what I've come across and not reflect what the majority of what's being published at the moment.
