"[Men] don't necessarily sell more books, they don't necessarily have more fans, but as far as prestige goes, there is still a difference there."

The mental gymnastics that SJWs engage in are astounding.

BBC bias and propaganda again: In the awards they do not even mention the Baileys / Orange prize for literature which is only open to women and has been won by a female for 22 years!

If they were truly woke, they'd only publish gay disabled transgender women with multiple allergies and personalities.

It's always the creepy men.

This is already a bit of an unspoken fact regarding publishing. Look around agents and publishers - you'll find a lot of anti-male and anti-white bias couched in coded 'diversity' language.

"Why we need to drum up business with a publicity stunt because our offerings are otherwise not competitive enough."

A good way to alienate potential readers and turn them off to female authors is to do exactly this. Their reason for doing it will also serve to hinder that very reason.

Male author go elsewhere and take profits with them.

So... perception, then? Feels over reals

Here, watch this video about promoting mediocrity, Camille Paglia nails it

sounds like someone is going to be out of work in about a year....

That dude, guaranteed, has no male genitalia.

It sucks, but it makes sense. The vast majority of men don't purchase or read much fiction. It's a marketing ploy to be able to say they care about women, to their predominantly female audience.
