Ah, mPreg. It used to be my go-to genre for my "There are things I don't like but I don't spend all my time saying people shouldn't write them" rants. And God knows Sturgeon's Law applies. BUT. I have read some excellent mPregs that don't stereotypically feminize the pregnant character, that don't sideline women (sometimes even by making the pregnant male character's female partner the father) and that generally don't suck. (Frex, so far in the mPreg plot of dragonsquill and Cassiopeia's "Communique" the story has been hilarious and non-offensive.) So now I think, like any genre, it has a lot of dross and some chance of finding gold.
