You know, I generally agree with your sentiment, but the OP wrote the comment without casting aspersions and without blaming anyone.<p>It was a bit terse, I agree, but it is a legitimately noteworthy fact that so few female authors are on the list. Noteworthy if you think it&#x27;s because YC is biased, noteworthy if you think it&#x27;s because so few female authors wrote meaningful books this year, noteworthy if you think it&#x27;s because female authors aren&#x27;t publicized as much.<p>(It could also, of course, just be a random thing that happened this year, but I still think OP had a right to point this out).
