I think you misunderstand my admittedly very vague comment! - That is, presuming you are presuming that I am calling the OP sexist, which YOU MAY DISREGARD and explain what you actually meant if I am wrong! - but my yaaaay sexism is more directed to the whole seme/uke business in general that's being complained about in this post? The whole ascribing of traditionally 'feminine' traits to any character who exhibits any other traits that the author feels go hand in hand with being 'feminine', eg. making the character who's shorter more emotional and clingy for no good reason or using a character's canonical emotional clinginess to 'reason' that they must bottom in bed and similar bullshit.
(but really, even if you do say "I'M A WOMAN AND I WOULDN'T ACT LIKE THIS", it doesn't make it much less sexist to describe male characters being written as clingy as being feminised. I mean, if anything, being capable of acknowledging that you as a woman do not behave in this way ought to mean you have the sense to not talk about it like that?)
