One of the issues they bring up is what has been called elsewhere "code rape." You know the scenario; it shows up in just about every romance novel you read back in the seventies and eighties, what the Smart Bitches call Old Skool Romances. It goes a little something like this:
Caveats: 1. This is only my interpretation of rape in fic and not intended to be representative of what anyone else in fandom thinks. 2. I believe that people can fantasize about and enjoy reading about things that they would never do (or even *want* to do) or experience in actuality. 3. Intellectually, I often really gross myself out with the things that turn me on; my kinks often contradict my feminist sensibilities and my ethical sensibilities. I don't know how to reconcile the differences.
