| | An email I wrote to Amazon.com:
I take offense to your "Women's Fiction" category. Why is there a Women's Fiction where there's no corresponding Men's Fiction? By having this category, you are implying that a woman's interest is somehow secondary, that being male is normal and being a woman is something else.
Also, how do you figure that what women are interested in is "Divorce," "Domestic Life," "Friendship," "Mothers and Children," "Single Life," and "Sisters"? Why are these topics only the purview of women? And what about women who aren't interested in these categories at all?
I find this type of classification damaging. They reinforce gender stereotypes that are constantly forming incoming generations into the same old limiting molds of the past. I urge you, as a responsible company, to remove them as soon as possible.
