The Left has blocked young white men from publishing novels

  “Over the past two decades, literary fiction has become a largely female pursuit,” Morris wrote. “Novels are increasingly written by women and read by women. In 2004, about half the authors on the New York Timesfiction best-seller list were women and about half men; this year, the list looks to be more than three-quarters women. According to multiple reports, women readers now account for about 80 percent of fiction sales. I see the same pattern in the creative-writing program where I’ve taught for eight years. … As Eamon Dolan, a vice president and executive editor at Simon & Schuster, told me recently, ‘the young male novelist is a rare species.’”

  This just seems like the market following demand.

  Why don’t young males buy more novels?

    I am sure no unnatural forces outside the free market caused this drastic shift in the last 20 years.

      could it be the focused manosphere type propagandizing of men?

      Books, higher education, art, etc, are all looked at negatively by this social influence sphere. If you go into academics, it better be STEM/business/law and none of this limp-wristed liberals arts shit. You should be working out, working yourself to death, shooting guns, smoking cigars, and treating women like objects. None of this pussy reading for fun shit.
