Youre better off asking why women overall are more likely to read. It follows that more women would be authors. And it gets even worse if you're looking at book club participation where women are much more likely to participate ime as the frequent only man at book clubs.

For your fantasy book authors, you probably were expecting the opposite because society historically pushed male authors to the forefront and you can still see this today where many people will list their top fantasy books and not a single woman author can be found. This is either inadvertent or intentional sexism.

The question was whether they get "a paid holiday". Yes they do get a mandatory paid holiday regardless of sales. To your statement, yes, they wouldn't get "the paid holiday [referenced in title]" without hitting sales milestone.

Literally the second paragraph.

As originally reported by South Korean tech site The Elec, staff have each received a previously arranged 10 million won bonus (about £5400) early, alongside two weeks' paid holiday. This is on top of South Korea's mandatory 15 days paid holiday for employees that have been with a company for more than a year.

Can we not do that annoying reddit thing where people don't even bother trying to read the article?

Article says that some had passports. There was either no attempt made to identify them, or it was intentional maliciousness

Anything sold in stores basically has to compete with physical eye appeal. This means small things are prone to being packaged bigger so they catch people's eyes. You can see this with a bag of chips- sure the air helps prevent chips from breaking but have you ever wondered why some bags are 50% air? It's just to make the package bigger so it stands out more.
