That's not the description of a genre of writing that one doesn't like but that's still considered as legit. That's a description of bad writing, through and through. A bad writing that is typified as female.
Ugh. Exactly. It's not just literature, though - it's the same with Chick Flicks.

That one makes me even angrier, because there's always someone saying they're unrealistic (duh) and therefore horrible "examples" for women because their romantic life won't be the same as in the movies. Um. What? We do know it's fiction, world, we really do. We know they're full of unrealistic genre conventions. No one says action movies make men think they have to be just like an Action Hero, so why do people assume that women expect their real life to play out just like in a Meg Ryan movie? We're not stupid. *fumes*

... and, uh, I got on a bit of a tangent there. ^_^U
