I think this is what slash fans USED to be, because getting married and becoming a housewife was what you did. Even if someone was queer, culture would have encouraged them to follow the marriage path.
I think of the housewives writing Star Trek slash in the 70's... if they were in fandom today, they'd probably be living a very different lifestyle while still embedded in fandom!
