Hey lookit, another article about the horrors of not making sure everything is packaged to appeal to men.  Or "it's not the women's fault that 'men don't read,' it's the system's fault for  daring publishing to actually push a few female writers, as long as they aren't pushed as much as Big Name Men.  Androgynous names are ok, though."  (Ok, I ran away a bit with that, but not too far.)

Also, they are doing construction on the street in front of my apartment complex.  Not close enough to torment me with sound, but getting in and out of here may be torment.  My privilege.  I wallow.

I have not actually read or seen anything by him, but I know he writes romancey things and it was my understanding that he's very popular with women.

I've seen...3 of the movies? Maybe just 2. Virtuous and Pure Women redeem Bad Boys with their purity and not having sex before marriage. Women die at the end and men angst over them forever.

I see them praised as being "touching" and "real," unlike those trashy things women write.

I have no issues. But if it's trashy for women to have a purpose beyond redeeming men and dying because there's easily-skippable sex, then I don't mind liking trash.
