Thanks. These statistics are really eye-opening, and good for me to know. All my publications have been in philosophy books and journals, which unlike literature, is heavily dominated by men.

The statistic I very vaguely remember is that when organizations have a pool of possible executives to choose from, they choose the white man first, then the black man, then the black woman, then the white woman. I remember it only because it seems so counterintuitive. At the time, I thought it might be because white men believe that only little boys take orders from women, and they saw female bosses who reminded them of their mothers as a threat to their masculinity. But that was only a speculation, and it's obviously not true now (in the world of publishing at least) even if it was true then.
