I agree. The more things change.... I understand women authors who wrote science fiction in the early part of the last century had similar problems. i.e. women can't write science fiction and so on. Of course they did write it often using a pen name I imagine. While I imagine many women do read books that are now considered chick lit you can't really pigeon hole anyone's reading tastes by their gender or age.
