I endorse this post 100 percent. We need representation, which we're told matters, right? And I think to hell with the mainstream publishing houses is the correct attitude. Let's make our own scene.
The rub, of course, is that these mainstream publishers hate competition and will try to destroy nascent challengers at the same time they castigate us as irrelevant. You love to see it!
Tough and delicate subject. It sounds very unfair, but just as unfair as it was for women for centuries (don't shoot the messenger). Discriminating against young male writers is just as wrong as any other discrimination. I especially liked the part where you explain why men need to read other men's stories, to push against a society that encourages weak men.
I think we need to find a solution that's inclusive instead of an either/or stupid war.
We should consider the publishing industry as a rival that is too dangerous to be allowed to survive. It must be annihilated.
