why do people judge romance book readers

so I have noticed people judging in particular women for enjoying romcoms and romance books in particular dark romance and book tok . As a women who enjoys both romcoms and romantic fiction I dont get why we are still judged as women for enjoying the genre and certain subtropes . I have seen alot of other woman being shamed for their reading choices myself included and people saying its just smut or porn . is it just misogny or are there other reasons
