I do not know if anybody has raised this question so far.
I have two writing projects, and one of them is a contemporary romance novella inspired by real events, written from a first person male perspective. I came to the forums in order to get advice and learn experience, and i have found very good things here.
But when i first entered this section, i was a little bit puzzled by the „women`s fiction” paraphrase after the word „romance”. I find it strange to classify the literary type „romance” as „woman fiction”, because romance and love, as far as i know, are not something specifically gender-related. Male or female, we love the same, we have, more or less, the same needs. I have taken also extensive classes in literature back in my country and I admit that I have never heard of such things, only by „romance” as a genre.
Also, if such a literary genre as „woman fiction” do exist, is there also a „male fiction” ? :Shrug:
Why romance is classed as „women`s fiction” ?
