And I think that the dismissiveness and the condescension that a lot of broader culture has toward romance novels is rooted in patriarchy.
This is the only genre women are
absolutely at the center.
We are mostly writing it.
We are the ones who are running it.
We are the ones who are making money from it.
And anytime women are benefiting at every level that way, patriarchy comes into play.
Yeah, I mean, people sometimes fixate on the physical aspect of a lot of these romance novels.
And they're like, oh, it's, you know, women reading, you know, sneaking off reading these novels.
Smut, yeah, that's how they think of it.
And they say it in a really disparaging way sometimes.
But honestly, I think that...
It's it's it's more layered than that.
And that's not every person like there are some people who will read books.
They may want to read erotica, which is different than, you know, contemporary romance or romance.
Erotica is a different category because erotica.
Right.
So erotica is basically the point of that story is the sex, you know?
And when you're talking about a romance novel, like what I would write, which is more like contemporary romance, there is a story, there's a plot, there is, you know, you're building out these characters.
and there's a world not that you don't have that with erotica but the sex is the point like the sex is much more prevalent it's dialed up and you might get a little plot you might get a little character development but for the most part the sex is is the point um and in a romance novel you definitely can have like varying levels of intimacy um physical intimacy that's on page or off page behind closed doors open doors but you are definitely going to build out a world and characters and plot
