So why is it...

ingvild...that no matter which fandom I enter, it somehow ends up being about whose cock goes where?*
Also, you know why I'm actively avoiding Gundam Wing yaoi? (Beyond the fact that Heero/Relena is the only pairing I have any emotional investment in, of course.) It's because while I'm sure there are some yaoi fics that DON'T treat the girls as non-existent/unimportant/in the way/boring and stupid/harpy-bitches from hell, the ratio seems to be 1:1234567890**, and I'm not willing to wade through all those other fics for the one that's fair to the Women of Wing.
I'm not saying that het fics are necessarily better, but at least the women are there.
...It probably doesn't help that I think that fics that portray all the five pilots as Preventers, but completely ignore the two (three?***) women who are Preventers, are like telling me that they don't matter enough to be included.
*I might have brought this on myself by watching Kyou Kara Maou - but I'm honestly more interested in their non-romantic relationships. Especially the family relationships.
**The number has no basis in anything except my frustration.
***I don't know if I should count the one who's on Mars. Although she was wearing a Preventer-issued spacesuit.
