I'm not much of a het writer, which is probably related to my feminist identity.
Funny enough, I've almost seen myself as a feminist... and I'm a strictly gen/het writer (and mostly gen/het reader). I think in the end it's not about the genre that you write but how you write it. There's lots of non-feminist het (and lots of het that makes feminists cry) but I also think that not all femslash is explicitely feminist just because it is femslash (and I still don't think that boy slash without women is anywhere near being feminist, no matter how much they try to tell me it is).
As for me... I'm just trying to get through my stories without stumbling over common pitfalls and try not to put my foot in my mouth over gender stereotypes too much ;)
