But I think your test was biased. You are a male writer sending to a group of males and a group of females. Try the same test, but this time have a male send a e-mail to a female writer and a female send an e-mail to male writer. I think you will find equal participation by the writer.

I am a writer and I have written numerous stories with female writers. I have found that in 95% of the case, male readers write to female writers and female readers write to male writers.

The few e-mail's I receive from male writers usually are asking for help on writing.
