But not because I want to make a feminist statement, even if I'm writing femslash.

Yeah, that's probably why it's bugging me so much... they picked out someone from a highly controversional discussed corner of fandom and kind of made it look like that's the majority of fandom and that they're some kind of avantgarde (both in fandom and basically in culture) which just isn't true. I just really don't want to be represented by someone who writes RPS (and out of doubtful reasons at that) :S
