vjs2259: But What Do I CALL Them? (Pairings and Naming Conventions) - Why John/Delenn rather than Delenn/John? Not alphabetical obviously. And it's usually Susan/Marcus, but I've seen Marcus/Ivanova, Cole/Ivanova, and Marcus/Susan. It's not male names first, or even first names only. -

I disagree with that on a lot of levels, but especially since it’s approaching relationships from an apparently subconscious assumption that (1) men and women are not equal, and can never be equal, and (2) relationships between men and women are not equal, and can never be equal. Based on the occasions I’ve seen it, I think the people explaining the appeal of slash that way would object to the idea of a natural inequality between men and women, but it seems that to include the subject or equality in shipping in the first place, there has to be a subconscious assumption of inequality.
