The short answer is 'these are the books we wanted'. As you did not vote for any books, whether written by a man or a woman, your objection seems designed only to generate bad feeling. We chose our beloved books, untainted by politics. The fact that we chose predominantly male authors isn't a vast conspiracy on our part - it just worked out that way.

Inserting unwanted novels purely to fit some arbitrary definition of politically correct brings nothing to this community. In fact, forcing community members to read a book they didn't nominate and didn't vote for is more likely to drive away readers.

This isn't an arena for political campaigning - it's a place to enjoy books. If you think women are under-represented, try nominating books written by women instead of criticising us for not following your agenda.
