Just wondering something…is it possible that there is less femslash mainly because most fanfic writers are women who are mostly attracted to men and therefore more likely to want to write sexy stuff about…well…men?

I don’t want to start an argument or anything, I just keep seeing this topic popping up again and again, and I just know that for me…fanfic/slash is about what I think is hot for me personally, and that’s usually stuff to do with men and their manly bodies and the stuff they do with those manly bodies. Sooo…?

I mean, a lot of women love Orange is the New Black and shows like that, and want more stuff on TV and in movies that is centred around women, but don’t necessarily want to read sexy fanfic about these female characters. Awesome characters of various genders and races and sexualities etc. make me super happy and eveything…but I still gravitate towards fanfic with sexy men doing sexy stuff with other sexy men because that’s what gets me hot.

…does that mean I have internalised misogyny?

In a word, no XD We like slash because of the dynamic between *men* (or at least I do, anyway). Again, I’m only able to speak for myself, but slash is about defying stereotypes that aren’t as much of an issue between women, so it’s of less interest to me. And yes, I’m not attracted to women, so I’m less interested in exploring the relationships between them – lbr, we always slash the ones we love, because we want others to love them too 😉
