Did we just get called chuds by Joyce Carol Oates?
Most overrated things in the world:1. Stoner
Everyday im reminded that all those fairytales about witches are actually warnings about the broken psyche of post menopausal women
>>24881300>catty xitter dunks>cattle politics>fellow kids zoomer font>at almost 90 years oldShe's going out sad
To be fair it’s not like women tried being likable
For some reason I thought Joyce Carol Oates died in the 19th century
>>24881387Worse she teaches at Rutgers
>>24881300I don't understand people who read this in Stoner. It seems very clearly expressed, in my opinion, that it was Stoner's fault of inaction and meekness that caused all of his troubles.
>>24881339This. So much.
>>24881418It was his meekness, but also being blinded by his desire that he didn't realize that his wife never wanted him. She was so meek that she just accepted marrying him for no other reason than that he asked. It was clear her and her family never liked him from the get go, but he plowed ahead.
>>24881300Yes? And that's a good thing.
>>24881300That cripple causes more problems for old Bill than his bitch wife does, besides he had a positive(ish) relationship with his daughter and that student he fucked.
>>24881300>female character isn't an allegory for the virgin mary>you hate women!!whatever>>24881437I have a theory she accepted to get away from her father. it is implied that he molested her
>complains about portraying women as evil>wrote this
>>24881300just too stoned to care, ya know?
>>24881338Shitter and blogs have exposed a hell of a lot of authors as dimwitted retards. Turns out a lot of the air of authority lies in just keeping your dumb trap shut and letting people assume a bunch from your work.
>>24881304Not near as overrated as Joyce Carol Oates
>>24881776That makes sense. Especially after he died when she burned everything he ever gave her.
His wife is a fucking whore, it's got nothing to do with misogyny . I hate women so much it's unreal
>>24881979This has kind of always been the case, iirc even in Socrates' "Oracle of Delphi" story, when searching for wisdom in everyone, he speaks about how poets seem more inspired in their craft even if they do not realize the magnitude of it's beauty etc.. I think that running your mouth off over petty shit is also just a general indicator for being a numbskull
>JCOwake me up when the Canadians have someone worthy of being placed alongside Shakespeare
>>24881418That's what I've been saying, this guy's problem is that he just takes shit from everyone and masks it as some sort of stoic wisdom
>>24881300>the online natterings of a jewish womanWhy do you care?
>>24882727Is it masked as stoic wisdom? I think he realizes he is taking shit from everyone but he considers himself to weak to fight back. He lives by his dead friends words that the university is an asylum for the crippled who can't survive in the outside world.
