It's so wonderful reading such boneheaded generalizations pawned off as 'journalism', though I have to say a lot of the responses are spot on regarding said boneheadedness.
Oh, and since I missed it somehow, congratulations on your marriage. I'm sure it was just an oversight on your part that you never mentioned this to your LJ readers.
Seriously I'm really getting tired of reading the 'by women, for women' bit. While that might be true some of the time, it is not true all of the time.
Plus I know for a fact the ladies writing m/m have a lot of male readers. I see men buying books written by our female authors at Shadowfire Press all the time so that old saw needs to be laid to rest.
