Patriarchy contaminates everything and that includes Romance novels written by feminist, female authors.

Men are constantly treated as the default when it comes to who holds power in these stories. That does make sense, since male power is still the default in the world at large.

But it wasn't always that way and it doesn't have to stay that way. I'm trying to do my part to write Romances that balance things out.
