I'm a guy. I read a romance by mistake. Now I'm doomed.

I know I'm probably talking to a brick wall here but... I think I'll risk sounding like tumblr. Just this once. *shudders*

The only reason you feel so uncomfortable reading a "female" genre is because you are male. The only way to get rid of that uncomfortable feeling is to own what you like, despite your gender. I am a girl and I liked to play with dump trucks as a kid; somehow, society praises that. However, a boy plays with dolls and the parents have a heart attack (despite research that says that boys who play with dolls are more likely to have better relationships).

Break the gender norms and play with your dolls, dammit! *shakes fist*

Yep. As I plan to tell my future/hypothetical kids, "Don't define your life by what's between your legs. Define your life by your interests, and what you like to do."

Women get to be badass heroines, men get to be sensitive and, yes, cry sometimes. No shame in that.

Exactly! I hope a lot of people teach their kids that, and we can finally help people enjoy life a little bit more.
