Since when do women control mainstream media? Network execs, studio execs, and advertisers are the ones who decide what gets on TV. Sure, they're in for what sells, but they don't want to alienate other parts of they're audience. It is sort of becoming more mainstream as it becomes more accepted (or, at least, less stridently denounced).

And honestly, there are plenty of straight women that are fans of slash who don't bash female characters. What does being "cool" have to do with anything? Some of the people that bash do it out of insecurity, I'm sure. But I'm equally sure that some people bash because they like to do it (just like some bullies and trolls).

I knew someone was going to say something like this

But, honestly, if you took a poll of young straight women on whether they would prefer to read a straight or m/m romance, you would overwhelmingly see them pick straight.

DA

No shit? The world revolves around heterosexual relationships. Some people don't even know that m/m romance exists. Now I'm not sure if you live in a rock, stupid or just trolling.

A lot of straight young women haven't been exposed to a lot of m/m romance, though. Unless you're involved in fandom or know where to seek it out, it's not exactly easy to find. There's also the fact that women like m/m romance is seen as "icky" and has a lot of stigma attached to it (i.e. women who like it are "weird" or maybe even ~gay~ themselves... weird logic, but it does exist). I'm sure there are a fair number of straight women that would prefer het over m/m even if they had been exposed to more m/m romance, but there's a lot more than just preferring a het relationship over seeing two men together at play here.
