I'll be damned if I can figure out why my opinions have so much moral force for you, that you have to kick at my shins like a little kid being told to wash his hands.
I suppose it's a compliment in a way. Something strikes a note?
Or else, you've just paid too much attention to me for your own good. I should not be this important to you.
That wasn't a reaction specifically to you. It was a reaction to this frequent posting of threads here telling us how to write to meet the specific (often moralistic, frequently tunnel-vision limp-wrested female, and overly sensitive--I get a vision of Sandy Dennis blowing those "I'm overwhelmed and have somehow found myself in the wrong house" bubbles in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe) expectation of a specific reader.
I posted to your comment because you chose to take only one aspect of what Althia posted--the "what should be written for the morality-driven female perspective" part. You've posted that before--that you can't write an erotic story without taking the threat of the North Korean missiles into account. You can't let a reader just choose to filter out all of the "what could happen and who is opposing abortion today" nasty stuff out and enjoy the fantasy of focused sexual arousal.
And my post was a reaction to what I see going through this thread (and weekly similiar threads) on an inability to separate arousal-producing fantasy from reality. The gay males I write GM stories for (even though I do often include condoms) are capable of separating fantasy arousal from reality and to take responsibility for their reading without whining on the boards about how stories should be written here to keep them from having the vapors (I haven't read a single post from a claimed GM whining this way--I've read posts from a legion of claimed female readers wanting everything tailored just for them). I'm sure others read my stories, which is fine, but they aren't who I'm writing for, and thus I don't feel any responsibility to tailor my writing to their delicate sensitivities. And just as it's any poster's privilege to post about what they want to read in stories, it's my privilege to tell them to grow up and take responsibility for their reading and to be irritated with them when they don't seem to be adult enough just to not read what would upset their fluttery stomachs and their sense of social correctness--and to leave space here for those of other interests to enjoy themselves.
