Sorry to be pedantic, but David Gilmour didn't say women writers are bad. He said he doesn't love their writing. That's very different.
@simonhoupt Problem with his statement is conflation of "the best" with writers he loves. But our personal taste never includes all the best

@HeerJeet He doesn't say he teaches all books he loves; he teaches a subset of 'em. Only the best of them, as it were. -
@simonhoupt Right. But any definition of "the best" in literature that is almost exclusively male seems myopic. - Show replies
