I'm not sure I follow there. Are you complaining that "chick lit" is used to refer to a swathe of books you dislike? Right?

In that case I'd suggest you shrug it off and read what you prefer. Who the hell gives a damn about what other people label stuff you don't even give a tuppence for?

Or do you feel that there's no books catering to your tastes?

In this case I'm afraid I disagree. There's so many books written by both men and women that don't reduce women to shoes and chocolate.

Actually, in my opinion there is "guy's lit", it's full of grim sovietnuclear blacksword islamsubmarines (equivalent to shoes), uncounted metric tons of silicone (equivalent to men) and space ships where people have sex with their own clones/robots in zero gravity (equivalent to chocolate). BANG!

>focused on a male who was obsessed with football, wife-beating, and beer, it would be just as disgusting, and insulting to men.

I wish someone wrote a book like that, titled TRUTH.
