Meh. It's not fair for me to pick on someone who can't defend herself, and now I should probably leave a review to the effect that I really disagree with the premise -- it's the old bathroom thing -- just because no one writes of them, doesn't mean they aren't there. I certainly have used fic to advance agendas -- Princess Even More Dim, all of TSG, etc. etc. though I've never put in a summary: "and now a rant against bigotry and silly reasons to come to Narnia." The progeny thing is a trigger issue for me too. I wonder if a lot of the complaint is not that there were no children or spouses, but that a lot of the stories that do provide these things aren't as strong as they might be. They are lightning rods for the cause against exploring these issues in a meaningful way, maybe?

And, I keep tweaking my original post and actually thought of just taking it down because I was victim of my own unclear thinking. Meh.
