Are some genres taken more seriously than others? How does this make you feel?
Obviously, the answer is yes, some genres are taken more seriously.
One thing I loved about studying medieval literature was that the "non-serious" genres were suddenly serious and respected. There could be dragons and monsters and fairies and flying mechanical horses and OMG romance and it was all considered serious literature because it was written in Old and Middle English or even (hushed, reverent tone) Latin.
