(The post is arguably more amusing than most S&amp;M columns.) His conclusion: &#8220;Out of the 133 authors of features under the Shouts and Murmurs banner (in the modern, post-1992 era), 17 have been women. That&#8217;s 12.782%.&#8221; To put it another way, men are represented in the section at a rate 8 times that of women.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Love that it was an academic who did the calculations.  Hate that it&#8217;s true.  Wonder if , in addition to other (ahem) factors, women are submitting in smaller numbers, as they do when it comes to op-eds?  That&#8217;d be interesting to find out.
