Because I have limited my book reading primarily to authors published by Baen, or titles I found on Amazon, I haven't noticed the heavy female bias of regular publishing. I haven't even been into a book store in almost a decade.
If I were a male author, I wouldn't even try to get published with the Big 5 publishers. I'd try Baen, or some other smaller publisher, or just self publish on Amazon.
Baen is the only publisher I'm aware of that hasn't DEId. They publish good scifi. They dont care who the author is, which (surprise, surprise) means they mostly publish libertarian or conservative men.
I did come across a great self-published book recently. "Theft of Fire" by Devon Eriksen. The guy has fantastic posts on X too. Great long form eXsays tearing down leftist talking point and provided deep cultural and philosophical analysis of the world.
If you want some good historical fiction that everyone should check out Master and Commander. It is phenomenal. You'll learn a ton of history while being entertained by the action, humor, and adventure.

Just looked up Devon Eriksen on twitter -- great guy, thanks for the recommendation.
