Is the literary world sexist? I find that hard to believe since practically every literary magazine etc is very liberal and full of women. Who exactly is being sexist toward them?

>Toronto literature professor and Giller prize-longlisted author David Gilmour has found himself at the eye of a literary storm after declaiming in an interview that he doesn't teach books written by women or Chinese authors, because he's only interested in "serious heterosexual guys".
>Eyeing the rows of books in his office, Gilmour said: "I'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. But once again, when I was given this job I said I would only teach the people that I truly, truly love. Unfortunately, none of those happen to be Chinese, or women."

>is it sexist
Sure. You try being a white guy and getting published in a literary magazine. "Sorry bud, not interested in your views." tbhwy I think the first world has gone mad in the last 5 years, Canada especially.
