I'm feeling a little depressed, but not at all surprised by how many of the #10authors5bookseach lists featured only male authors, while I only saw one list that had only female ones. Of the remainder, most had mostly male authors with only one or two women. Sigh. On the other hand, it was nice to see quite a few male-presenting people posting lists that were fairly rich in female authors. More than you might find on a different platform. #bookstodon#gender#sexism
