@PappaPaIpatine @simonmaechling Um, you actually don't want to breathe dihydrogen monoxide. The usual joke is about drinking it.

@aurorab0rea @SCHIZO_FREQ She didn't have to beat competitors at previous Olympics. She had to beat the ones she was competing against at this Olympics. And she did.

I am very much invested in the sport; no backlash from me or anyone I know of except maybe Russian ubers.

@Lefty_Kitty @Mr_Boffin The NYT is not known for its humility, but I do think most people understand the implied "so far."

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@clint_beatswood @Mr_Boffin @FBKT111 @JDean1840615 Why, yes. Did you see the post where I said so.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@KevinDahmer Google it, you said.

So I did.

As Yoda says, there is no try.

The first actual source link I came to after bypassing Reddit and Quora told me that women buy 80% of books and buy books written by women. Supply and demand.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@KevinDahmer You told me to Google. That's what came up.

If you have better sources, share them.

@KevinDahmer I did. And of course, Google produced an AI answer for me that started: The statement touches on actual, documented shifts in the publishing industry, though it exaggerates these trends into an absolute refusal and uses hyperbole regarding retail inventory.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Fred_On_X A thousand apologies. What is the important part? This?

>The problem isn’t the character’s gender. It’s the audience the book is written for, and whether it’s a good story.

So again, you are saying (in more words) that you didn't like the book.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Christo_007_72 @WallStreetApes IT is a definitive result. No one has produced a shred of evidence that it is not (again). The "allegations" are just assumptions people have based on what they feel about the results.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@dvorstone Okay. Continue with your unsupported claims for those who will accept them at face value without me.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@dvorstone >>This is partly why women average shorter careers

There's a ridiculous volume of information showing the key drivers of this are caregiving responsibilities, lack of flexibility, and systemic promotion barriers.

They also have fragmented careers rather than shorter ones.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@unclearirony @InezFeltscher I actually like Hawthorne.

Yeah, I know, a class of one.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@aphofer @InezFeltscher They certainly do where I live.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Fred_On_X >>I didn’t like Harry Potter.

Neither did I. What does this prove?

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Mr_Boffin >>I mean, none of these were even written in the last decade, most of them were already established authors, etc. etc.

And here is an example of something that is really bothering me in this discussion--people keep refining the parameters.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Advocacy_tech @LadyAliBooks No.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Mr_Boffin @FBKT111 @JDean1840615 >>I'll assume you don't generally look at agent wishlists and such,

I do not, no.

I have, however, read quite a bit about the general topic.
