I have a feeling that women are very soleptic in their writing. Its as if the world suddenly only becomes about the main female protagonist and all reason logic and realism ceases to exist in the face of what the female author wants to EMOTIONALLY convey.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 00:26:31 2021 No.18754187 >>18753368 I've noticed that these 'read books by women' articles never mention Ayn Rand. Why do you think that is?

I've read her. I'm Canadian so I had no choice.
Alice Munro is a superior writer.
Atwood was groomed by her publisher and fed lots of grant money back when being a poet meant you could be subsidized by the government. She has some great paragraphs but can't finish a story.
I loathe the woman.

She's better than Emily anyway.

Atwood was fine until the turn of the millennium. Cat's Eye, for instance, is a very well written book. The problem is that around the time she went to shit, publishing risible sci-fi, she also got retroactively canonized by feminists, leading to the ridiculous farrago a year ago where she was being lauded pre-publication for a bad sequel to her earlier book.

Just read the full article and she never answers the god damn question in the title??! Yes, it is clear that men read fewer books by women than by men - why? Why does this preference exist? If it is because of society, why does society hold that notion?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 05:35:48 2021 No.18755199 >>18753368 I read Anne Frank. Does that make me a feminist?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 05:39:10 2021 No.18755213 >>18755183 It's a rhetorical question only a feminist or someone familiar with feminism could understand. It's not meant to be pondered with due consideration. It's a dog whistle.

Camille Paglia is easily the most based female author still alive and Sexual Personae is the best book on Western sexuality/feminism I've read from an author, female or otherwise

The correlation between number of women writers and modern lit is very high, at least historically. It's not that I don't read women, but that I don't read modern lit. I'm actually very excited to read St. Theresa of Avila in the future, but I haven't gotten to her yet.

But we all know that that's not the kind of woman she's talking about :^)

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 10:26:39 2021 No.18756229 >>18754187 Because she was too based to handle, and also because she was an ftm repressor so people don’t think of her as a woman subconsciously. Like Camille Paglia.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 10:28:03 2021 No.18756237 >>18754220 >only one of the Brontes is worth a damn You had better mean Anne

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 10:29:35 2021 No.18756249 >>18755183 Why would an article asking a question be answering the question? Only clickbait is meant to do that. It’s a genuine title.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 15:57:55 2021 No.18758181 >>18754187 Because she's not a literary writer, she's genre. Also, Grauniad is a brit website, nobody's heard of Rand over there
