Oh please, Mark - inside every woman there's a little housewife just begging to get out? Surely you're just taking the piss now. I've known plenty of slovenly women to know that being too busy cleaning is not a reason why so few women would submit to po-mags.

I suspect it's one of those things that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. There's a perception (not unwarranted) of a male hegemony in po-biz, which leads to fewer women submitting because they don't think their work will get a fair hearing, which leads to fewer women appearing in po-mags &c, which then perpetuates the notion of a male hegemony.

To my mind, women taking action to remedy the situation themselves rather than waiting for men to sort themselves out is the best way forward - Mslexia, Poetic Justice &c.
