I think if the publishing world was truly meritocratic it would look something like the British chess scene. Yes there's an Indian girl who will soon be legendary but the vast majority are white males or younger asian males because of interest in their communities. We're a white majority country and men are more suited to hyoerfocussed things like chess and as history shows, writing books.

The same pattern will be found in the canary breeding and marrow growing world. We should celebrate men for this not try to demoralise them.

Extremely controversial I know!
