    Thoughts from 100%

    I’m curious about how MLM feel about these types of stories that are written by women and largely consumed by women. Sometimes I wonder if it borders on fetishisation - the way we get so obsessed with romance that involves two men. But at the same time, it’s one of the few ways for us to witness a relationship involving a man that is inherently equal and mutually respectful (at least on the basis of gender). This is rarely the case in a heterosexual pairing, both in media and in real life. And even if the characters uphold some patriarchal values, we can sort of disconnect from that, as there isn’t a woman in the equation.
