Your post does indeed confirm my suspicion that we are at cross-purposes. My original post was simply my opinion, my view, posted on a message board . You seem to be taking it as some sort of decision-making parliament or court of law where I must satisfy your questions , prove my point or walk the walk of shame. I wasn't asking you to respond to a case. I'm not expecting you to do anything. I'm simply saying that I have found that there is such a genre of fiction and I disapprove of it for the reasons I gave. I mentioned several writers you are free to read if you wish. I also stressed that they don't typify female novelists in that there are others who write more fairly. Deborah Moggach for instance is unquestionably a feminist but not a biased or untruthful one.
To produce the evidence you demand would involve quite a bit of work, I'd have to find the books (and I don't know where they are now) and re-read them making notes as I went, not a task I relish.
If you disagree with what I say I'd be interested to see your reasons for believing that those writers are truly impartial , e.g what proportion of strong male characters and deceitful weak female characters they prortray, if any. I didn't find any.
