One presumes that comedy and action is male, and drama is female?
[ducks]
What about a romantic comedy, then?
Or is that one transgender?
You do know my children, yes.
No surprise that a sliver back male would come up with a misogynist comment like that.
At least no surprise to me, since I am literally an SBM and I did have the intent to make the very same observation, before he beat me to it. We share more than just our given names.
It did take a while to deduce the intended word as being genre. An Art Linkletter moment.
Neil Gaiman likewise agrees that stories have gender.
