My entire life, 90% of the literature I had to read in order to graduate high school was written by a white male.

Maybe it has something to do with that?

Or the fact that men don’t read books written by women, to a hilariously insane extent:

The vast majority of men I meet do not own a single book written by a woman of colour.

A man who actively reads may have a little poetry by Maya Angelou but it’s unlikely.
