Do I!

I remember the fanboy at my college s.f. club who said he wanted to burn K/S fans on a pile of their own zines. (ca. 1982) When I archly said, "So, you've never picked up a PENTHOUSE or HUSTLER and drooled on pictorials of two women getting it on?" he immediately responded with that last bastion of male logic, "THAT'S DIFFERENT!"

10 years later I hosted a party at which a twitchy fanboy acquaintance scrunched his face up and said, "I can't believe you write K/S!" I replied calmly, "The correct term is slash. And I don't write 'slash' - I write good slash." To which half a dozen female partygoers immediately piped up, "She does!" Shut HIM up good!

We've outlived the bastards.
