General Ma Chao:
I'm not surprised really. Men like to look at attractive women wearing and doing things they find hot. It's only logical women would like the same thing. Overall, good article.
Generalizing much?
As a homosexual male I'm always severely disappointed to pick up a piece of gay fiction only to discover that it's geared towards women. Not all men like lesbians-- and gay men such as myself don't like the feminine bishounen. Where are the choices for those of us who want a more realistic spin on gay fiction, with masculine characters?
And here's an even more interesting question: Is it more acceptable for a girl to read gay fiction than for a gay male to read it? Probably.
Also important to consider is how the yaoi movement has skewed womens' views of gay men. Girls flock to me to be their best friend expecting me to live up to some feminine stereotype they've gained and be some wonder solution to all their girlish needs. I've actually had girls refer to me as "girlfriend". And these fangirls seemingly always complain that the males in my artwork are masculine. Males shouldn't be masculine?
I find it all pretty offensive. It's even more annoying when other homosexuals perpetuate the stereotypes intentionally.
