It's even about power when the reader/writer isn't looking for equality. I like power differentials in my slash, and I feel like, with a slash story, I have a freedom to create whatever power dynamic I want because there isn't (necessarily) one there to begin with. In a het story, there's a huge cultural power dynamic, and I either have to reinforce it or fight against it. Both put me off. Both feel like I'm making a political statement.
