Part 8/10:
A notable aspect of Ambrosia's narrative addresses the gender biases present in contemporary literary discussions. Amidst the backlash against romance and spicy content, the conversation often neglects to consider the equally explicit works produced by male authors. The perception of female-driven narratives as frivolous or dangerous contrasts sharply with the acceptance of male-driven themes that often include graphic violence and sexual content.
The critique of spicy novels as "polluting" the literary landscape echoes a historical pattern, where women’s tastes and preferences in literature have been minimized. Ambrosia aptly points out this discrepancy, as well as the enduring double standards that permeate literary culture.
