I'm female. I like chick lit. I like fantasy. My favourite colour is yellow. I quite like glitter.
You know what? The terms 'chick lit' or 'pink' are not dirty words. I don't agree with the categorisation of genres, but I should think we do not venture into insinuating women who read chick lit and pink glittery things are silly.
Just a thought.

I don't think anyone was insulting pink and/or glitter. For me personally, the "insult" is assuming that because I am a girl that I must like pink & glitter. However, like I said earlier, I don't care if I'm interested in the book then I'll read it, regardless of the color on the cover.
Maybe we should do what they do in Japan and cover all the books in white.
