When I think about the "men not wanting to read women" problem I will always remember an article I read somewhere were some lit dude was disparaging Glimmer Train magazine (which before the owners shut it down was a really well respected place to get lit fic published.) Anyway he said something like "they only publish stuff about women discovering they have fibroids." Which I find a really gross thing to say as a woman, person with fibroids, and a person whose published story there had nothing to do with fibroids.
