I'm not understanding the point here.
It seems you took romance 'for example', and then argue that it's because romance is primarily written by females that stops it being taken seriously.
I think you could look at any number of genres, and show their authors aren't taken seriously. SF is an obvious example (although most of the writers there are male).
