This last weekend I'd been talking about how romance novels (and other genres, that was just the example I was using) use the shotgun approach to afflict their heroines with every imagineable problem in order to find a couple of things in the reader's past which would make that protagonist more empathizeable. I wonder if perhaps some of the large scale myths of oppression that we play out in this society are instilled by popular culture like that? Errrr... make that "I wonder to what extent...".
