It would be based but you’re just repeating a popular crowd sentiment for (you)s/attention, which is feminine, therefore you are a tranny.

I have to wonder what it was that compelled you to make a thread announcing this. Is it simply because in doing so, you had nothing to lose?

I don't really get how stuff like this isn't just the flip side of libwomen screeching about dead white males.

>>24831610
I dont do this actively, but the funny thing is, I dont read women anyways cause they never seem to write about the subjects Im interested in or rent the definitive writers on such subjects.

I want to hear "female" as an adjective. "Women authors" sounds clumsy—no one says "men authors."

I like reading gay porn too, anon, but I hear fujoshis are making a lot of headway. Maybe we should do our due diligence.

how is that not a 4chan post, just in the other direction?

Not sure that helps
>>
>>24831683
It is. The difference is her shitpost is something you hear across campuses daily, find in newspapers and even roughly something said by politicians and their operatives (to use a specific recent example Roxane Gay on Pod Save America a week ago). Saying “I don’t read female authors” in a public capacity will unleash a torrent of shit on you. If you’re a teacher you risk your career. Being a lefty is learning to shut up and take their insults. Most men have been born into hearing all this shit about inequality and how great women are since birth now.

OP will never get to read The Bell Jar, which is a real shame.

That wasn't the case when she said it though, was it?

Oh, no, the ramblings of an insane BPD chick.. I think I'll be fine. She should have put her books in the oven instead of her head.

The problem is that when literature was still good, there were not enough women writing to begin with. Dorothy B. Hughes is pretty great, not one of the writers you’d always see getting pushed like O’Connor

They're just saying they don't want to read dead white males (...already dead white males like Melville and homer).
Retard

Man, this was a dumb post. Maybe one of the dumbest.

If you can find a syllabus with werewolf rape smut, please tell me because I would sincerely like to audit that class.

Yeah well I don't want to read simpering and overly sentimental internal monologues for 500 pages either.

What if you just want to read anything that's good, regardless of the immutable traits of the writer?

Read whatever the fuck you want.
Once you’re out of school, you can read whatever you want. Or not read whatever you don’t want to read.
>>
>>24832227
I do, but you guys keep announcing what you want to read (or don't want to read) so I'm wondering. Maybe I'll make my thread too. Or not.

Dickinson in your pathinson.

In response to a thread of discussion ITT, I understand why, on a superficial level, women would be reticent to read the classics of the literary canon. To them these works represent a regressive mode of gender relations, often written from the perspective of men who they believe to have actively upheld this dynamic. Unfortunately, this has contributed to the decline of literature across successive generations, where women are more likely to read popular fiction with less reverence for the greats, and go on to produce writing that is even more trite, on and on in a feedback loop of collective infantilisation.

I am desperate for good women authors to read
I think the last women authors I've read are Jane Austen, I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion, as well as Sei Shonagon and Murasaki Shikibu
I thought about reading some Colette

I wonder if that's why there's wall to wall promotion of women's "sport"
>>
>>24833070
Sport is good for women, as well as men, it's just absurd to assume it's as entertaining and thus as profitable as men's sports.

Still not reading any women authors.
>>
>>24831610
imagine thinking orson welles would endorse this sentiment
>>
>>24833289
Not sure. He said things like "guilt are an entirely masculine invention, no woman has ever felt guilt" and that you have to "lie and play games" to win with them. He also produced negro Shakespeare, though, so who knows..
>>
>>24832212
I mean. I had an entire class on Wuthering heights. And that whole book is basically smut for a supernatural creature and slavery and people taking turns cucking each other. Were I a NTR cuck, I would have jerked off to the entire thing.
>>24831650
Man wife. Man child. Man tits. Man explaination(mansplaining). Man spread. Man eyes. Man cave. Man name. Man woman. Man actress(on stage). Man milk.

The main reason woman is more popularly used this way is because men were considered genderless and women gendered(or sexed) for a long time.

advocating male stoicism here is also attention-seeking meme sentiment, you are a tranny by your own retarded cope logic. Since men and women aren't fundamentally equal, so there is no "imagine if the roles were reversed" double standard to call out. The only people seeking to reverse the roles are subversive kikes and it's because they profit from the chaos it creates. If you think pointless contrarianism is based and masculine perhaps simply go b𝖺ck to reddit, it seems to be going out of fashion these days
