"  David Gilmour recently sat down for an interview with an online magazine run by publisher Random House. And said the following: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not interested in teaching books by women. Virginia Woolf is the only writer that interests me as a woman writer, so I do teach one of her short stories\u2026 Usually at the beginning of the semester a hand shoots up and someone asks why there aren&amp;#039;t any women writers in the course. I say I don&amp;#039;t love women writers enough to teach them, if you want women writers go down the hall. What I teach is guys. Serious heterosexual guys.&amp;quot; Gilmour doesn&amp;#039;t mention whether/how many of his students do just &amp;quot;go down the hall.&amp;quot; But let&amp;#039;s hope it&amp;#039;s a lot. In other words, he&amp;#039;s that guy who goes into a bookshop and asks where the he can find the &amp;quot;real guy-guys&amp;quot; fiction aisle. Later in the piece, Gilmour describes himself as a &amp;quot;natural teacher,&amp;quot; citing his experience in the world of TV \u2014 &amp;quot;I know how to talk to a camera, therefore I know how to talk to a room of students. It&amp;#039;s the same thing.&amp;quot; Not the same thing, however: talking to a journalist. At least, not unless a misogyny-prompted shitstorm is one he brought his umbrella for. A serious heterosexual umbrella, mind you. Don&amp;#039;t worry though, Gilmour&amp;#039;s perspective on womens&amp;#039; literature will do a total 180 once he hears about Real Housewife of New Jersey Melissa Gorga&amp;#039;s new book.
