Saw this the other day. No surprise at all. Just look at the sad puppies and what has been done to sci-fi and fantasy. Now I’d say fantasy readers are a more even split but sci fi has always been a genre that skews male and they have been working to change that. I hear the question about why boys don’t read but it seems there is nothing nowadays being made for them
Nothing aside from history books about war or medieval things are made for boys, and even then it’s getting more common for those things to be feminized as well.
Yea it’s almost comical how I’ve gotten into the habit of checking when a book was published. I don’t trust many modern history books since modern historians will sell out to explain why a period piece set in 1700’s Norway but looks like downtown LA actually is accurate
