I think the main problem we are having (not just on this thread, or on this board, but out in the world) is a general lack of respect for one genre of books over another. I don't have to LIKE to read military history, however, I would never put down those people who DO like to read it. I wouldn't assume the readers are dull and boring. However, people who don't LIKE romance do put down not only the books and the authors, but belittle the people who enjoy it. We romance readers are silly and ridiculous. If this genre was written/read mainly by men, I don't think we would hear this type of criticism. It is universal--many romance readers feel the urge to belittle THEMSELVES for liking a good story.
