What is it about emotionally open and non-traditional male characters that resonates with women writers and readers?

they're stand ins for women but able to do things women can't. you see it a lot in earlier slash fiction where there was a lack of fleshed out main female characters. also women just like picturing two hot men together, same like men like picturing lesbians

that book was so convoluted to make patroclus having a sex slave work

Women should NEVER write about male adventures.

It’s the side of the same coin of Men like Nic Pizzaman and Tayler Sheridan writing women that are essentially men.

Achilles cries that he won't get the glory he was fated after Agamemnon humiliated him but later tells Patroclus he's crying like a woman over the Greek dead as the Trojans swarm the ships.
