Fully half of the world is born female. Half of all dogs, cats, foxes, bears, chickens, whales, humans.
Yet so many stories -- for children and adults -- follow the Seinfeld formula, one female character for every three male characters, as if only a quarter of the world were female.
As an #editor, I get to push back against this distortion in the manuscripts that cross my desk. I can make a difference. If only all of my clients listened to me.🙃
