I agree with all this, but I do have one thing to say in the defense of these kowtowing creators: They have to make a living.

JK Rowling is the richest author in the world. From a practical, material standpoint, she can afford to say unpopular things. Most creators are not, and rely very heavily on public goodwill. For most authors, coming out in defense of women could destroy their career.

The appropriate compromise, I think, is to stay quiet on the issue. But still, I do have a little empathy for them.
