They don't read books written by women. That's why many women don't write under female names. Instead they pick male names and write as men.

I would like to do, literally ANYTHING without my gender being the primary thing people see about me. <br /><br />But people have to categorize me based on these stupid stats like I'm merely a Magic Card. "Wild Female Attacks" so they have to tap their bullshit misogyny mana for one and fight me off using Privilege Artifact.
