There's no middle we can meet in here, so we're going to have to agree to disagree.
In closing, to rephrase something I saw referring to religion: Anyone who can require other people to put appropriate numbers of women in their writing can require you to put appropriate numbers of men in yours. I don't know about anyone else, but I truly do not want a Committee of Political Correctness passing judgment on what I write.

I KNEW that sooner or later someone would bring up the term "Political Correctness."
This is what others always bring up to avoid being held accountable for behavior or attitudes that are out of step for the current times.
This has nothing to do with being PC, and everything to do with what is realistic for the current times & for the future.
I'm not requiring anyone to think a certain way, read certain books, practice any one religion, or put a certain number of men or women in their books.
All I'm saying is if I notice that what is in the book is not only unrealistic for 2010, but most assuredly for how it will be in the future, then I PERSONALLY will never read any more of that authors books.
Since they are not interested in reflecting the reality of even todays world, and I'm not interested in reading about a backwards future.
