femslash is feminist, in that it puts female desire for women above male desire
Maybe that's true... but I clearly doubt that's why most of femslash writers write femslash...
And if you're going to take the line of 'wow, look at these whacky women' it doesn't work as well if you use gen or het writers, because that's what most mainstream writers write.
Mh, true. The whacky (I was tempted to write "pathological" out of habit...) is always much more interesting (to journalists, not sociologists... sociologists love all aspects of fandom ;))... but still... Also, they published it on CSD which I thought was kind of unfortunate, seeing who they cited concerning slash in the article.
