Thank you for your response. In my efforts to bring philosophy to the general public, I definitely find that many people are unwilling to take the time and effort to read anything beyond fluffy prose. Also, as you say, people are predisposed to gravitate toward their interests and familiarities. I understand any woman’s preference for women academics over male academics. I find myself more in agreement with feminist philosophers: https://medium.com/inserting-philosophy/feminist-philosophy-a-primer-66485f18038b
