I understand what you're saying-- I really do. But I don't think that pushing men into reviewing more women will be the real means to change here. I think that encouraging more women to review will be the difference. I know a lot of women who mostly read female authors. And it would seem that female bloggers do prefer books by women-- though not in the same disparity that men favor men.

When I first started reviewing (almost 7 years ago) there weren't that many female reviewer-bloggers and I did feel like I was shoved to the side as a lightweight as the guys flexed their muscles and patted themselves on the back- I still feel like I'm not part of the club sometimes as my blog is not frequented by the boys I've been visiting for years. Is that a gender thing? I don't know. I do know that, if it weren't for the later wave of female reviewers, I'd still be off in the corner by myself. So I can appreciate where this conversation is coming from, but I think us women will be what changes the environment.
