Have I ever told you my Unified Theory of Slash? I do have one. So, further to my tardy tribute to International Fetish Day, and my lovely kink picspams that no one gave an arse about...
Ah? :) Nifty. Do tell, then...what do you think the motivation is? Is it what you said about wanting to portray the normality of same sex relationships, and unfortunately men are still the ones with power in our culture, so making the characters male is the most effective means of doing so?

Yes.
>>>and unfortunately men are still the ones with power in our culture, so making the characters male is the most effective means of doing so?
...I'm afraid there's either a language barrier or something like that because I'm not sure what you mean by "making the characters male". Making *my* characters male, or making characters in my slashfic male (i.e. taking existing male characters from canon to put them in my story as opposed to taking *female* characters from the same canon)? Sorry for being dumb today. It will be easies for me to answer if you clarify what you meant.
