Why can’t female authors write men? Why is every book written by a woman centered around a woman crying about woman problems?
>>
I thought Peter and Ivan from Sally Rooney's Intermezzo were pretty good
>>
Where did you find this picture of my wife?
>>
Because women don't suffer. Men do.
>>
I didn't find Wuthering Heights or Frankenstein to be so
>>
>>25206897
Do you also think only male apes suffer?
>>
>Yeah but umm.... monkeys tho!
Just admit you got bodied, troon.
>>
>>25206897
Actually anon, there is a magic cure to solve male suffering you know.
>>
>>25206919
Here it is folks. The image that OP made this thread for. He made this thread just to post this fetid abomination.
>>
>>25206914
Is wurthering heights actually good? Wasn't it written by a teenage female? I cant imagine its good
>>

Most men find Heathcliff compelling because he's a Byronic hero who likes beating women and calling them sluts
>>
>>25206956
Heathcliff beats women!? I guess that would explain the leather jacket.
>>
>>25206956
He sounds based. But is the book good?

Cunt carriers lack theory of mind and empathy.
Not only is the three holed abomination born mentally deficit, but culture itself educated these abominations that they're special and unique (they're not) so they have no real drive and impetus to assume and analyze perspective outside their own. This autoclitocentric perspective of the female is enhanced by the simping psychologically castrated males who'll do anything, including child rape and child murder, to get into the good graces of the cunt for a chance of an access to the mutated asshole that festers on the female crotch: the only true asset of the failed fallen creature, mother of all degeneracies, called female. All this combined leads to the usual female perspective: me alone is important; everyone else is a prop.
Rape is the only answer to this disease.

women write men better than men write women
t. both male and female

art is about reaching towards higher ideals and what it means to be human and the meaning of life etc and nonwhites and women are incapable of doing this because they're not really people, they are not sentient so they just make "art" about what they know which is 100% of the time being brown and/or having a vagina
>>
>>25207209
Totally wrong lol. I've consistently gotten better (anonymous) feedback for my writing of women than of men. Women just have a massive psychological need to preserve the secrets (such as they are) of their inner being and that urge warps their perception.

Because when you've just become a political subject three generations ago and youre whole gender has been for the most part excluded from education, segregated, abused, etc. then there are a lot of women problem to talk about.
You guys don't seem to realize that every woman you meet today has a mother and a grandmother that were gradually more oppresed than she ever was, and that she needs to take this into account. These are the first two or three generations in a millenary history that finally have the possibility of constituting themselves as free intellectual subjects en masse and you expect them to do this orderly and by following artistic standards and modalities of expressions established mostly by men.
Of course it's going to be a fucking mess for several years, maybe even full centuries, before we can fully recalibrate men-women relations and have new subjects entering into artistic discourse (same is true for minorities and so on). You complaining about the fact that they're not doing it right feels just ridiculous, this is resistance to a change that has been made inevitable by the two big technological changes of the last 200 years, i.e. contraceptions and women joining the workforce. There's no going back: please find it in your heart to accept this and try to be creative about how you want to move forward. New subjects are already on the scene, and this needs to be accepted, not rejected. I know it doesn't look good now, but art can only benefit from having has many different subjects from as many different individual stories and backgrounds joining in. I want to see creative stuff from all directions. It's fucking boring to live in a world where only one kind of person, people, gender, way of living sex, religion or ideology exists.

You can't even speak english correctly let alone comprehend reality. What a waste of time it was to read all that, you're a disgrace.
>>
>>25206897
I need to believe that they do so that I can actually feel great sympathy and sorrow for a female protagonist who suffers in a book written by a man.

>He wondered this afternoon how many discouraged young men had sat here on the State House steps and watched the sun go down behind the mountains. Every one was always saying it was a fine thing to be young; but it was a painful thing, too. He didn't believe older people were ever so wretched. Over there, in the golden light, the mass of mountains was splitting up into four distinct ranges, and as the sun dropped lower the peaks emerged in perspective, one behind the other. It was a lonely splendour that only made the ache in his breast the stronger. What was the matter with him, he asked himself entreatingly. He must answer that question before he went home again.
>The statue of Kit Carson on horseback, down in the Square, pointed Westward; but there was no West, in that sense, any more. There was still South America; perhaps he could find something below the Isthmus. Here the sky was like a lid shut down over the world; his mother could see saints and martyrs behind it.
>Well, in time he would get over all this, he supposed. Even his father had been restless as a young man, and had run away into a new country. It was a storm that died down at last,—but what a pity not to do anything with it! A waste of power—for it was a kind of power; he sprang to his feet and stood frowning against the ruddy light, so deep in his struggling thoughts that he did not notice a man, mounting from the lower terraces, who stopped to look at him.
From "One of Ours" by Willa Cather

WHY IS THERE NO BOOK WRITTEN BY A WOMAN THAT JUST SAYS "GOOD BOY OMG ITS SO BIG" FOR 200 PAGES?
>>
>>25207665
I haven't read either of them, but I assume either anais nin or clarice lispector is like this. I don't read heterosexual female authors.
>>
>>25206888
Begging the question on /lit/ has to stop.
