I really don't get people who don't get it. It's not your thing? That's totally fine, but You don't have to be into it to get it. Some women like erotica about characters they can easily visualize and already have emotional connections with. Some women like man on man action. Some women like both, therefore - slash!
As for the SHOCK of women writing it for other women- did you know that sometimes men make pornographic movies of TWO WOMEN!?! And the audience they make it for is MEN!?! By sometimes, I mean every day for the past, oh, let's be conservative and say 50 years.
I've said it before, but honestly all the arguments I've heard against slash boil down to is perpetuating the idea that women should not have or express sexual fantasies that are not strictly adherent to a particular, conservative narrative.
