“A large portion of the fan fic produced concerns the romantic relationship between two members of the same sex. There’s a lot of slash and femmeslash out there but there’s significantly more m/m slash. 

Why? Occam’s Razor leads us to one simple answer: there are simply more complex male characters in popular culture. There is simply more material to work with. 

This is one of the many reasons that it is exciting and important when when interesting and complex female characters develop a meaningful relationship of any kind in popular culture.” (Mike Rugnetta)
