man wins romance novel prize. suddenly romance might have actual literary worth

"It doesn't mean that because something is comedy romance that the writing can't be good, or that deeper topics can't be addressed. It's just a matter of finding the balance."

A man won the Melissa Nathan prize for writing a romantic comedy.

People have been saying this for YEARS. But, you know, women writers are stupider than men. And if there's a happy ending, it's not actual real literature. But if a man writes a romance - hey woah! - then it gets comments like the one above.

sorry. a bit cynical today.
