hl: Here, let me mansplain slash to you..
Wow. And thus I have some vague understanding of how "exotic" peoples feel when anthropologists write books about them.
Brief description: A male evolutionary psychologist "explains" slash as this weird anthropological oddity, making it sound like he stumbled on it and figured out it's significance all by himself. Said significance being: it's a way for straight women to fantasize about heterosexual sex but as an equal. Also the fact it's monogamous is NOTHING like "real gay sex".
