We all know why that is.

In the $current_year things are so hilariously sexist that I pass my work off as my wife's so I can make more money pretending to be her.

Makes me wonder how many great men of the past were actually their wives alter egos.

Interesting thought. I know JK Rowling is "JK" because her publisher wanted to obscure her gender. This sort of thing is probably common.

What's even more common is all the supposed genocides in the colonies that left no one alive. Just like today Elizabeth Warren pretended to be the extremely blond Indian so did Sitting Cloud turn into the extremely tanned Sicilian: Marco Totally Italiano.
