Path of least resistance.

Also, those comments are misrepresenting what Patterson said. Patterson never said men were oppressed. He said there was a bias in the publishing field.

Keith there is pulling a straw man. (As are many others)

P.S. A successful author with decades of experience in the field points out a bias and the SJWs pounce on him in droves. It goes to show just how hard it is to address biases against men. The people jumping all over him don’t have the knowledge and experience he does to claim he’s wrong.

Why did Nobel Prize winner Tim Hunt apologize?

Why did this guy wearing a harmless shirt apologize?

Why did AAA apologize?

And so many more

amen brother. maybe this is something that Kamala fix as the new high priestess of truth or something...

i do find it interesting how the victim narrative works for pretty much EVERYBODY except white males.

[–]g1455ofwater 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Because he angered the racists and misandrists and now they are threatening him and he fears for his safety.

[–]SadPatient28[S] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

seems like something kamala could maybe help out with now that she runs the task force of truth... or something...?

[–]NoTrueScotswoman69 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

It sounds like he's had a stern talking to regarding the Venn diagram of who buys his books and who he has just pissed off to me.

[–]SadPatient28[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

agreed, im sure his female publicist called him up and was like, "Oh... hey Jim... about those things you said... maybe we should retract those... kinda...?"

[–]NoTrueScotswoman69 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You know at that level I expect it's just as likely to be a male publicist, money talks at that level, and someone in management know this will hurt sales even if they agree with his points internally.

The demographics that buy the most fiction books are the same demographics most afflicted by woke culture.

Because it’s not true and it’s tone-deaf?

what if it is true and his first instinct was correct?

If it’s true, why are old white men overrepresented in literature?

[–]Clemicus 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (26 children) | Copy Link

It'd depend do you mean current writers or the extent of literature which was written by that demographic? If current, that isn't exactly true

It also includes movies and TV. Which has some ring of truth to it

[–]SadPatient28[S] 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

absolutely true. when i check all my library and book apps, the first promoted books in my face are women, black diverse voices, and YA fiction. this is not an opinion. it's a fact. check any of the book/library apps. see for yourself.

[+]peaceful-domination -22 points-21 points-20 points 4 years ago (24 children) | Copy Link

Current writers as well. Male writers are getting much more revenue than female writers.

[–]TextDependent6779 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Male writers are getting much more revenue than female writers.

a) got a source for this?

b) not our fault people are more interested in old white male authors.

[–]peaceful-domination 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

A lot of influence on what people are interested in is based on the publisher. Well known publishers often favor old white male authors.

[–]AverageHorribleHuman 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Why are using "white" as some sort of character defect?

[–]peaceful-domination 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I’m not? The discussion is about old white male writers. What should I have said instead?

[–]Clemicus 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (16 children) | Copy Link

Nice switch. Where did old and white go. Also that's a low resolution take

[–]peaceful-domination 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (15 children) | Copy Link

Also old and white. Please take a look at what authors are on bestseller lists.

[–]TextDependent6779 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link

Please take a look at what authors are on bestseller lists.

well, i looked up bestselling authors. popular on the web is dominated by women. does this mean Google is misandrist? 11 women to 4 men.

the 10 best selling authors of all time is apparently 5 men/5 women.

[+]peaceful-domination -7 points-6 points-5 points 4 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link

There are more women in the writing industry though.

[–]TextDependent6779 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

yet men are over-represented?

besides, it doesn't even matter. you told me to check bestselling. i did. it didn't support your point like you thought it would.

[–]peaceful-domination-2 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

It does, because of the people in the writing industry, old white men are overrepresented on bestseller lists.

[–]Clemicus8 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

They're under represented and that gap will increase year on year. You've either got to have clout in the industry or the right ideas -- like Stephen King

[–]peaceful-domination-1 point 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

How are they underrepresented?

[–]Clemicus6 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

They make up a minority on the top best sellers list

[–]peaceful-domination-1 point 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

The total population of writers is minority old white men. If the majority of writers on bestseller lists were old white men, there would be a serious problem. But they are not underrepresented if they make up a minority in bestseller lists, as long as the proportion of old white male writers in the industry is comparable to the proportion in the lists.

[–]Clemicus2 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

That's an absolutely stupid argument. By that reasoning there's way more women authors than men of you go by the current top 40 list of best sellers

[–]TextDependent67795 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

old white women are also quite prominent.

i suppose you have a problem with this?

i also quite literally told you what i found when i checked bestselling. it doesn't agree with what you're saying at all. you're ignoring literal facts.

[–]HotShotWriterDude 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

There are more women in the writing industry though

Oh, that's why you're mad the there are still men that make the bestselling list. Since there are a lot more women in the industry, you want them to have the bestselling list all to themselves.

If I understood that correctly: One man in the top 10 (bonus points if that dude was top 1) = men are overrepresented.

Got it.

[–]peaceful-domination0 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Yes, you’re correct.

[–]TextDependent67793 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

the fact there's more women in the industry should mean they're making bestsellers more. these old white men are just writing things with more interest.

now, why aren't you complaining about the under-representation of men in the writing industy overall?

and im still waiting to hear if you have a problem with the over-repsentation of old white women on bestselling lists, based upon the results i found.

[–]Clemicus 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I did a quick look on Google. Men make up seven of the top twenty best sellers -- which includes Patterson at nineteen. They'll be other lists, you're free to post those

[–]Icy_Touch_9654 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

-100 karma, nice try troll.

[–]Viesegel 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Male writers are getting much more revenue than female writers.

That fact alone doesn't say much. You have to demonstrate an unfair bias in the system. It could be that the male writers are writing more material that appeals to a bigger group of readers.

[–]peaceful-domination 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That’s true. What do you think about this study, if you would like to spare some time to read it?

journals plos org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0195298

[–]Viesegel 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This phenomenon parallels the workplace where women earn less than men, with a stable wage gap currently estimated at around 80 cents on the dollar

I haven't read the rest of the study yet, but it's a bad sign when the researchers unironically propagate the myth of the wage gap.

[–]Forsaken_Mode_2173 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is the kind of argument that even need an anwser...
