View submission: R/Askmen discusses getting swarmed by women

I gotta push back here. There are genre's still dominated by fairly bog standard masculine coded fiction. Sci fi, absolutely has more male authors still, horror too. Fantasy did flip a while ago, and some genre's are very one sided towards women author wise, like YA Fantasy.

I think there is some validity to be concerned about differences in educational outcomes currently, but less so hobby spaces.

Maybe. I just find it interesting nobody really talks about it, while superhero movies, comics and videogames keep burning money trying to shed their reputation as “for boys”.
