I was going through “fantasy books” on amazon and was surprised to see that most of them are written by women, and the ratio is not even close. I was kind of expecting the opposite.
Does anyone know why this might be the case?

Obviously you can’t know for sure, but it might be a mixture of toxic patriarchy making it seem feminine to write stories (making it so men don’t want to try writing stories and sharing them, even though they are already creative and could absolutely do so) and maybe AI generated books choosing female author names because it generates 2% more sales or something
I wonder if there is any public opinion polls on the topic to use as a source
