My feminism and my fem/slash writing have nothing to do with each other, as far as I can tell - I write fem/slash because I want to see more gay characters, or I want my marine lieutenant/FBI agent/starfleet captain to be gay and I don't get it from the mainstream media, or because I think these two characters are gay/bi and should be together or... But not because I want to make a feminist statement, even if I'm writing femslash. Even with my ladies big bang where I'm thinking of writing it with minimal male characters on-screen.
On the other hand, she's entitled to her opinion about why she does it - I just wish she wouldn't try to make it sound like it must be true for the rest of us!
