I HATE chick lit like that. There is exactly *one* chick lit book sort of in that vein that I loved, because it had real teeth under the fluff. It didn't have precisely a happy ending, but it made you feel good nonetheless. And one of its main characters was a MILF. Another one of its main characters was a m-to-f postop transsexual who struck up a friendship with an old lady who had vehemently decried such people as evil...and it wasn't an "oh, she saves the day" kind of thing, it was more subtle and real than that. I wish I could remember what it was called.
""All of your problems can be solved by my PENIS" and then she just melts."
Thank heaven for Family Guy for showing point-blank how stupid, inane, offensive, derogatory, patronizing, condescending, and downright fucking dumb that is.
