Because the first step in writing hot girl-on-girl action...
...is admitting that we have misogyny conditioned into us by the repressive patriarchal society we inhabit.



There’s been a lot of meta about misogyny in fandom lately, but nothing brings it from 0-to-wank faster than bringing up slash.

Twinkledru starts us off by asking : Why is femslash the redheaded stepchild of fandom? She makes another post, going into more detail, and the comments in both are rife with wank piling up as people attempt to offer explainations.

Here, twinkledru states it outright (yes, fandom is misogynist) and also puts words in the mouths of people arguing from the “media gives us faulty female characters” POV.

Marenfic knows why people don’t understand the point. Because if there’s one thing their argument needs, it’s yet another way to pseudo-intellectually insult fandom.

I have a hunch twinkledru’s being sarcastic here. Phantomas decides to respond.

Final thoughts, with a lot of TO MEs. Or that’s just the way it read, to me.

Kita weighs in. Also, there may- just may- be some grudgewank between the two sides.

JaneDavitt weighs in.

Here, I learn that I missed this on wank_report, which I really should check more regularly. Also, Jennyo tries too hard.

Edit: Apparently the wank_report report featured this link, in which Phantomas doesn’t know who Jennyo is and Jennyo informs her.
