Is reading books a feminine hobby?
Reading children’s books and romance novels is yes. Oh and contemporary realist novels about pursuing a masters while brown
>>24862670How is life with seething when being reminded that women exist?
In the "manga" segment everything falls apart; It's clear that either most people who read manga are men or it is even, and something similar could be said about the "science-fiction" segment. So this means that goodreads is mostly used by women and the results don't correlate to the real percentages of reading habits outside goodreads. However, it might be significative to see the relative interests of the sexes: if science fiction is even in this study, it probably means that outside goodreads an overwhelming majority of the people who read science fiction are men, and if there's a not so overwhelming majority of women doing reviews of classics in goodreads, it probably means that in reality it is even or maybe a little more leaning towards men.
>>24862664unfortunately, these stats are no longer reliable because of the ability to self report and the prevalence of retarded males who pretend they are women in online spaces
>>24862788Isn't it crazy how the vast majority of trannies are literally just dudes pretending on the Internet? It creates this fake consensus that gives the more mentally ill ones courage to go outside dressed as a woman.Hey trannies, is there a name for this? People who pretend to be trans online, but put on their work boots and report to Larry's autobody shop like a normal Joe in real life?
>>24862724I just finished reading a Helen DeWitt novel. I’m just accurately describing what women mostly read. It’s right there on the graph. I do mostly hate them though
>>24862664I assume all of those female sci-fi readers are """female"""
>>24862799TRVTH NVKE
>>24862664No lifting weights is
>over 50% of history book reviewers are femaleActually surprising, what periods of /his/tory are women usually interested in?
>>24862766yeah, without the ability to slice up the data we can only make very rudimentary inferencesI'd be very curious to see what things look like if we considered books by male authors only and disqualified all reviews by users with more than 1000 followers
>>24862664No, leaving reviews on goodreads about them is
>>24863866100% colonialism
>>24862664Who fuckin cares
How do we make reading masculine again?
>>24864067i bought a new video game console a couple months back and since then ive only read one single novellai suspect this is the issue
>>24864072How do we consoleify reading?
>>24862766It's possible that what is skewing the graph is that women tend to read contemporary lit far, far more than men. That would explain the similarity in sci-fi readership, since I would imagine women would lean more towards contemporary science fiction, YA science fiction... Romance science fiction, etc. etc. And these would add up to as much readership as for the greats of 20th century sci-fi. But in order to verify this we still need to determine what the ratio of male to female Goodreads users is. From my observation it's about equal, then again I'm usually going to read reviews for works of the canon, history, theory etc. so I can't say for sure. Overall there is definitely far more visibility when it comes to women reviewing books because they do those gigantic, sprawling "reviews" with .gifs and quippy asides and... yeah you know what I mean...>>24863866My guess would be those numbers are mostly pop history like, I don't know, Sapiens or something. That and post-colonial, gender studies history, biographies of famous and/or underappreciated yet somehow incredibly important women, shit like that. Don't get me wrong by any of this, I know some based women who are actually intellectual. Just speaking in generalities though.
>>24862802Don't you also hate most men, though?Sometimes I have intrusive thoughts about hating women, but I realize I have those thoughts about men, too, and I realize I mostly just hate people.
>>24862664Yes. The feminine is great.
