0 of 5 of these authors are male pure coincidence, I'm sure, and not evidence of systematic discrimination in the F&SF publishing and media world https://twitter.com/AndrewLiptak/status/1301585298036490240 …

Dude, you didn’t bother to click the link. The list is 15 books long, with 9 male authors. You’re complaining about a photograph that shows 5 of the 15 books. Get a grip.

The basis of your complaint assumes that a physical copy of every book on that list was available to the photographer. I think it’s pretty clear that many of them are not (e.g. Ernest Cline’s sequel).

the chances of picking 5 books and ending up with exactly 0 by men is 1 : 2^5 this is obviously bias

I assume that if you saw a corporate board that had 0/5 women or 0/5 minorities, you'd see that as evidence of bias, no?

A more apt comparison would be a photograph of subset of a corporate board. Let’s say there are 19 members of that corporate board and six of them are women.

Fortune Magazine decides to do a cover story about the board. The cover photo shows 5 board members, all women.

The reader thinks to himself, “Huh, this whole board is women. That seems unexpected.” Then he reads the story and discover that no, the majority of the board is actually men.

so you wouldn't criticize the magazine for bias?
