XY contains X but XX doesn't contain Y.

Nietzsche said it best: the enigma of woman lies in its vacuity, us men cannot fathom that a human being could possibly be as empty as they appear to be, and so we imagine that they have incredible depth that we can't grasp. But really, all they want is to reproduce and have a rich alpha male locked down to provide for them and give them social status to be admired by their friends. There, I have summarized the female mind for you, this is literally the only thing their litterature ever expresses.

Im sexist and all but I don't think Nietzsche really knew that much about women. Yeah women would like to have a hot alpha male, men also spend their entire lives trying to gain some kind of status so they can get a hot woman. You can't reduce the inner experience of either sex to these impulses.

>hijacking the thread with your blog posts about your moods
End your fucking life you miserable little shit. Go get hookers if you feel the need for sex and affection (which is perfectly normal and healthy), don't deal with women and their bullshit and their drama and their problems (most of them are thousands of dollars in debt just to give you one example), paying a hooker is the most cost-effective way to get sex by far when you consider everything you have to pay when dealing with women, in terms of time, money, effort, emotions, feelings of responsibility towards the utter mess that is her life, not to mention legal risks, don't you forget that you can get assraped in family courts any time by a woman you're gotten too close to.

There you go, solved your existential crisis, thank me later and talk about BOOKS now. Namely books written by women and how much they suck like everything else ever produced by women.

women are good at genre fiction

and all the new ones are probably good too. the last Hugo awards had them all over the place.

Wuthering Heights with Laurence Olivier is one of my favorite movies though I haven't had the chance to read the book yet.

They just get stuck in the genre stuff. I used to be a genre geek when I was a teenager but when I grew up I realized how bad a lot of it was when I read contemporary writers of general fiction. I've never read a good book by a woman that wasn't genre fiction though, so maybe this thread has a point. but then again, if you DO like genre fiction a lot of the best are women. I should say fantasy rather than genre fiction, because that's what I mean. Sci-fi like Heinlein, Herbert, Asimov, Clarke, etc are all best done by men.

It's because women's state of mind is constrained by political correctness and trivial feelings.
Their literature is so trivial that even a 10-year-old with middle-grade level intelligence can understand it completely without a need to pause and reflect and decipher the author's thoughts.
But the worse thing is their fascination with political correctness.
Look at what happen to Scifi, they turned a controversial, thought-provoking and very original genre into delusions of cliched grandeur of peace and love and jealousy and pride and other predictable trivial thoughts utterly commonplace to a teenager.
Even when exposed to red-pills they still continue doing their trivial stuff. Like they can't see it. It's as if they can only learn what they wanted to hear. Like a literal non-playing character.
And It can't be helped, they can't be geniuses. The peak of a female author is when she's able to write a stale and overused story in it's greatest detail.

Bohemond’s appearance was, to put it briefly, unlike that of any other man seen in those days in the Roman world, whether Greek or barbarian. The sight of him inspired admiration, the mention of his name terror. I will describe in detail the barbarian’s characteristics. His stature was such that he towered almost a full cubit over the tallest men. He was slender of waist and flanks, with broad shoulders and chest, strong in the arms; in general he was neither taper of form, nor heavily built and fleshy, but perfectly proportioned – one might say that he conformed to the Polyclitean ideal. His hands were large, he had a good firm stance, and his neck and back were compact. If to the accurate and meticulous observer he appeared to stoop slightly, that was not caused by any weakness of the vertebrae of the lower spine, but presumably there was some malformation there from birth. The skin all over his body was very white, except for his face which was both white and red. His hair was lightish-brown and not as long as that of other barbarians (that is, it did not hang on his shoulders); in fact, the man had no great predilection for long hair, but cut his short, to the ears. Whether his beard was red or of any other colour I cannot say, for the razor had attacked it, leaving his chin smoother than any marble. However, it appeared to be red. His eyes were light-blue and gave some hint of the man’s spirit and dignity. He breathed freely through nostrils that were broad, worthy of his chest and a fine outlet for the breath that came in gusts from his lungs. There was a certain charm about him, but it was somewhat dimmed by the alarm his person as a whole inspired; there was a hard, savage quality in his whole aspect, due, I suppose, to his great stature and his eyes; even his laugh sounded like a threat to others. Such was his constitution, mental and physical, that in him both courage and love were armed, both ready for combat.
