Why are women universally bad writers?
>>23312044They're good academics though. Benedict, Mead, Paglia, the list goes on.
>>23312044universally?
>>23312059Name a good woman writer.
>>23312063mary shelley, bud.
>>23312044They aren't. You're an idiot who doesn't read enough. >>23312063No. Go read, you lazy shit.
>>23312044same reason they are worse chess players, philosophers, aircraft pilots, engineers, physicists, mathematicions, IT managers, surgeons, civil engineers, architects, software developers, ship captains...they have smaller brains
>>23312083I think its more likely her husband wrote Frankenstein and let her pass it off as her own, especially given that he was a more experienced writer.
>>23312335>I think its more likely her husband wrote Frankenstein and let her pass it off as her owDebunked. We know Percy's contributions.
>>23312063Come on man, even Nabokov, who multiple times said he didn’t think there were good female writers, begrudgingly admitted Austen was a genius.
*Stares at you in Flannery O'Connor*
>>23312044>>23312063>Itt retards who don't read shit up the board with off topic dogwhistle r9k/pol threads What writers have you read that you think are good, and what makes them good, OP?
>>23312388Additionally OP, what works from women have you read and what makes those works bad?
>>23312388is the r9k/pol anons in the room right now?
>>23312317This. Can we all just admit this and be done with it already. They are measurably worse at basically everything.
>>23312338>Debunked>"Why">errrrrrmmmmm because I say so chud
>>23312044Oh great, another thinly veiled racist thread.
>>23312399i think you meant to say sexist thread but your virtue signaler machine broke
>>23312392>>23312392You dodged the question with what I presume to be some meme reference to contemporary politics. If being an active subscriber to a contemporary ideology isn't bad enough, you also pretend to read and have nothing insightful to say.Tell us which books you've enjoyed and what makes them good, as well as what works from female writers you disliked and why you've disliked them. Otherwise you're no better than dyed hair misandrist freaks who strive to discredit white males yet don't have the attention span to finish a book from the gender they hate.
>>23312044because you haven't read cather.
>>23312044Womem are hard-wired for socialization, sex and childcare. Anything abstract that demands immersion beyond social signaling is useless to a woman. The few female exceptions who contributed something artistically worthwhile (less than 1% of overall worthwhile output) were either autistic (male-brained) or severely mentally ill. Patricia Highsmith for example was a very witty and skillful writer, nearly on par with the leading men in crime or short story fiction. She was also autistic, alcoholic, BPD recluse and hated women.
The better question is if a woman may qualify as a brilliant writer, is writing truly anything worth praising?
>>23312044They cannot into objectivism.
>>23312044Writting is for introspective weirdos persons who can't make connections with the world around them. It's a coping for their shit life. Women usually don't need be like this.
Offtopic: why are critics and essayists such bad writers?
>>23312044They're not>>23312063Kate Chopin
>>23313711Any 'professional' critic, be it literature or music or whatever, is simply too retarded to do the thing they write critiques about, hence also to retarded to write about it properly. Simple as.

>>23314435The vast majority of post2015 newfaggots started out on reddit. We gots INFESTED with reddit refugees, /pol/cels, and election tourists. They never did go away.Ya'll "reddit". You just aren't ready to admit it to yo'selfs.That's about it.
>>23314468>As I sat there reading while proctoring exams, I tried unsuccessfully to stifle my chortles and guffaws of admiring laughter — which were definitely distracting the students in the first rows. Lauritsen's book is important not only for its audacious theme but for the devastating portrait it draws of the insularity and turgidity of the current academy. As an independent scholar, Lauritsen is beholden to no one. As a consequence, he can fight openly with myopic professors and, without fear of retribution, condemn them for their inability to read and reason.>This book, which is a hybrid of mystery story, polemic and paean to poetic beauty, shows just how boring literary criticism has become over the past 40 years. I haven't been this exhilarated by a book about literature since I devoured Leslie Fiedler's iconoclastic essays in college back in the 1960s. All that crappy poststructuralism that poured out of universities for so long pretended to challenge power but was itself just the time-serving piety of a status-conscious new establishment. Lauritsen's book shows what true sedition and transgression are all about.>Lauritsen assembles an overwhelming case that Mary Shelley, as a badly educated teenager, could not possibly have written the soaring prose of “Frankenstein” (which has her husband's intensity of tone and headlong cadences all over it) and that the so-called manuscript in her hand is simply one example of the clerical work she did for many writers as a copyist. I was stunned to learn about the destruction of records undertaken by Mary for years after Percy's death in 1822 in a boating accident in Italy. Crucial pages covering the weeks when “Frankenstein” was composed were ripped out of a journal. And Percy Shelley's identity as the author seems to have been known in British literary circles, as illustrated by a Knights Quarterly review published in 1824 that Lauritsen reprints in the appendix.>The stupidity and invested self-interest of prominent literary scholars are lavishly on display here in exchanges reproduced from a Romanticism listserv or in dueling letters to the editor, which Lauritsen forcefully contradicts in acerbic footnotes. This is a funny, wonderful, revelatory book that I hope will inspire ambitious graduate students and young faculty to strike blows for truth in our mired profession, paralyzed by convention and fear.>By Camille Paglia

>>23314482>>This book, which is a hybrid of mystery storyYes, it's indeed fiction. >And Percy Shelley's identity as the author seems to have been known in British literary circles, as illustrated by a Knights Quarterly review published in 1824 that Lauritsen reprints in the appendix.Ah, more schizophrenia.

>>23314435>its plenty called far-rightChild confirmed. If you think this is actually a political website, you clearly haven't browsed here prior to 2014. >>23314498>tvOne of the most reddit boards. Go back there. This place became reddit when people like you come here in troves after r/the_donald getting banned. I wish 4chan had no concept of "containment boards" and that other websites did. These containment boards have done nothing good for 4chan, only attracting rejected redditors and other leftover sloppy seconds scum from other websites as 4chan is the only place that will 'contain' them.
>>23312044What are your good writer op let's see your taste
>>23314444she believes in a lot of sterotypes but they're all positive. she says things like "he was clever with water, as all mexicans are" and "jews recognize talent when they see it".
>>23314483I wish I could marry her.
>>23312063Virginia WoolfHer writing is on par with Joyce, in my opinion.
>>23315298Wasn't she an autistic femcel that died childless and alone?
>>23315324I wonder what her breasts would be like. Just the sheer imagination of Austen ma'am indulging in steamy foreplay & having vigorous cowgirl riding sex with me makes me weep tears of unparalleled joy.
>>23315321You've never read Finnegans Wake
>>23314074Susan Sontag was the first Bandaid, I ripped through her awful novels like they were stale Wheaties swimmin on powdered milk. Davenport was another. Goddawful, boring schlock. His essays are grand, but his stories are just tired, over-worked verbose garbage that would be better-served by an anekdote or aphorism like Kleist or Kafka, just some short, pithy scribble about a satyr and an nymph in a grove, in an ancient mode. But NOooo, they have to tire everything out with endless language (there is beauty in economy), the tiresome iteration of a dickensian mood that strikes any writer paid by the prolific page.

>>23312063I heard Wuthering Heights was good? By Emily Brontë so its a women. Bros im going to be honest. I don't think I've read a book by a women lmao. I can't think of one. Maybe Frankenstein but I never finished it and listened to it via audiobook.
