I completely agree with you. I often check book store shelves for books for my sons. I’m frequently picking up books that look amazing and being pleasantly surprised that they feature a female lead character. That’s pretty different than how things were when I was younger.

But that’s no where near “there is not enough male representation in literature and that’s why boys are having a hard time getting into reading”. There are numerous and obvious counter arguments. The whole premise is ridiculous.
