It Was Hot in That Uncivilized Place, and the Weather is a Metaphor -- a book by Men
to prove something most people who read already know unaided by statistics: Women read books by men, but men don’t read books by women:
“For the top 10 bestselling female authors , only 19% of their readers are men and 81%, women. But for the top 10 bestselling male authors , the split is much more even: 55% men and 45% women.” The most common ask, when presented with evidence like this, is for men to simply pick up a tome penned by a woman and move their eyes over all the words. However, as proven for me, definitively, by the fellow grad student who once referred to theWomen in Literature course as our “Ladies Tea Party,” men do not want to read books written by women, even when those men are studying literature in graduate programs.
What I suggest instead, is that the rest of us just leave them to their white dude books and stop reading them. There are only six stories contained in all of them together anyway. Trust me, as a Ph.D.
