Since the past 15 years the biggest-named authors are women, and nowadays you see girls and gays intentionally prefer books written by women. Literature used to be male-dominated; how did women eventually took over?
>>25239150They just buy more books, primarily digitally because no one's told them about Anna's or IA. Women are fucking retarded.
men became retarded
Everyone is completely dopamine raped by technology and the only people who can still summon enough attention span to read are women who are masturbating to the books
>>25239150Men are into gambling, personal development, gaming, stocks. Something that has an addictive, endlessly engaging quality.
>>25239150>ssri stareKek
>>25239150Has anyone heard of 'minority stress' theory? The idea is that discrimination produces secondary indirect effects on health, wellbeing, and the ability to advance in society in minority members.Well, men have been outright and openly discriminated against for years now. It's nothing to listen to a random podcast and to hear the most awful things about white men. This happened to me today when I went for a walk. Maybe these myriad signals are psychically harming men in a way that makes them not want to participate in something like literature?There's a frustrating asymmetry in these discussions though. If a minority is failing then it's a result of discrimination. But if men, especially white men, are failing, then it's always our fault with no thought given to the way culture has been weaponized against us.
I wonder what happened in in the past decade
>>25239180My old man and I were discussing something like this the other day, how there's basically no such thing as a minority in this country anymore and how there's this weird anti-retalitory clause that only we have to adhere to. It's fucked.
>>25239182Yes it's genuinely evil. The worst part is the normalization of it. You can be in a formal setting and people will complain, to your face, about the overabundance of white men in the organization or the curriculum or whatever. Even in the worst forms of discrimination in history, like during WW2, nobody cared if the Jews were against it. But we live in this sadistic era where we have to be openly promoting our own discrimination.
>>25239150what do you think the meaning of 'the future is female' is?
>>25239190Women will initiate and directly cause the decline of western civilization.
>>25239150Because they and their benefactors institutionally shamed and crowded out the male perspective. When you are the tyrant incumbent, naturally, you produce the propaganda.
>>25239180Yeah but you have to play the hand you've been dealt. So just dont engage with their systems. If they're shallow intent is to make you live poor, then live poor, for their real intent is to make it so you cannot live.
>>25239150Men have had their interiorities degraded by pornography and video game addiction. Only women have any sort of interiority now. Men sate themselves with self help and pop history and cannot care about multi-dimensional characters.
>>25239203Living out of spite is aspirational, downright honorable.
>>25239150Long march
>>25239184There's nothing wrong being born into any race/gender/sexuality. We're all human. But it's weird as hell hearing your coworkers complain EXCLUSIVELY about the StraightWhiteMaledemographic, and then being required to attend work events where they discuss "fighting hate" against pretty much every demographic exceptStraightWhiteMaleSurreal. Just fucking bizarre.
>>25239150This is how
>>25239208This might be a sarcastic, spiteful comment; but unironically, yes
>>25239215Normals are just pussies. It's really that simple. The state told them to believe this, so they did; it handed the people outside this demo a scapegoat, and a set of instructions to the people inside this demo as to how to stay safe and get a material exchange for doing it, so they did. To say "no, I disagree" in the face of pressure is the first, most minimal courageous act and a large percentage of humanity arent capable of it. For a non SWM, it let them talk shit and feel good about it, and gain undue prestige and reward for doing so. For an SWM, as long as they acted like a for real bitch, they could get praise and career opportunities and maybe even a pretty wife who they can watch other men fuck while they jack off. This seemed like a good deal to cowards bc it involves some material compensation for never disagreeing with or challenging a power-regime, or even simply disengeging from it. But it has always been this way. The targets change, but the cattle always need a sacrificial lamb, because they have no inner resolve. Think about your time in primary school. There is usually one designated kid who everybody excludes and shits on, and thinks nothing of doing it. He's just the kid we shit on because we need it or else we dont know who we are.
>>25239215Yeah, I hear you. I honestly worry it will reach outright genocide at some point, especially with the demographic situation worsening. I've lived in diverse areas and it's difficult to understate how many foreign cultures base their entire narrative of national rejuvenation on hostility towards the West. With completely zero critique from Western academia, mind you. >>25239203I feel there are different degrees to which one can live. You could call it 'actualization' in other words. Sure we can continue to eke out some form of bare life but it's not the fully actualized life of someone with influence on their surrounding cultural and intellectual landscape. Our attempts at creating alternative systems are frequently toppled because of the prevailing expectation that anything we do has to first and foremost support the so called oppressed.
>>25239215>all that seethe>one handwriting style
>>25239236Idk about all that. I'm alive. I'm broke, but I have a job and a place to sleep and eat. I've had relationships. I entertain myself and write stuff. I enjoy things im able to enjoy. And I post here when I'm bored. You're alive, you're comparing it to some alternate reality that isn't the life you were born into. Im not saying it isnt as unfair and fucked up as youre describing, I agree that it is, or to not challenge it. Challenging it is necessary. And funny. But don't depress yourself with counterfactuals that you dont live in at the same time. Roman plebs used to live in shitty concrete rooms with one glass paneless window and eat bread and wine for breakfast, then shuffle around all day begging rich men for grain or working side hustles bc they didnt have steady work or income. They also washed their clothes, often a single tunica, in human piss. And this is if they were extremely lucky plebs. Also, 1/3 of the population were slaves. That's not happening to you, id bet. So, do what you can
>>25239150J k Rowling and Stephanie Meyer caused this.
>>25239150>it's time for the women hate threadtiring>how did women dominate literature these daysmen started to think reading was for faggots + men buy far less literary fiction than women do
>>25239313Yeah bc the market became flooded with womens cope books. Duh

Most men don't read but women mostly read porn.
>>25239150It’s a small and fragile world that couldn’t hold up to the deluge of women. Too easy to run back to the centuries of old stuff when the new stuff is no longer for you. Same with video games, but women still don’t buy them. They do buy books.
>>25239620why would you bother reading unless you're traveling and bored?
>>25239624That’s why men left. You can complain about casual entertainment being feminized, but when a world of thoughts is invaded by a thoughtless sex, you throw up your hands and leave.
>>25239625we already have movies, we already have audiobooks, what is the appeal of reading unless you're doing it on a plane or a train out of sheer boredom?
>>25239628Is this bait? Why are you on /lit/?
>>25239637audiobooks are still books, most books do come in audiobook format from libervox or something, i just don't see the appeal of hard cover books unless you're trying to impress people with a shelf full of books but most people can see right through that self important facade
>>25239619You are giving me data about college degree bitches when we are talking about ghetto bitches, LMAO.If a nigger goes to grab some milk, it won't be because of a MFA black woman he married, and then waited for the whole divorce process before dumping her.73% of Black families aren't married, anon. Not to say that retards divorce more, but that can't be applied to ghetto dwellers.
>>25239643Mixed up the pics.Wanted to post that pic to >>25239608You mean the 600k who somehow found a shelter, or the 200k who just so happen to being unable to do that? I remember the only high IQ person who had no home and didn't have a shelter was Terry Davis (RIP) and he had a pretty big car.

Considering the replies to my posts, anons want a high PIQ, nonverbal black homeless divorced baby moma that is not eligible for food stamps to write the next Great American novel. Also, the one to find that novel must be in Mensa. Otherwise, women aren't better than men at writing.It's like being suprised jews dominate academia.
>>25239653Schizo babble
>>25239640When you read for yourself you are reading in a fashion, and at a pace, which allows you to not only render the scene unfolding but to also be critical of the wording, wrestle with subtext/higher meaning and also relate it back to your own experiences/perspective all within a handful of words, without the internal thread of story having felt lost.When you listen to an audiobook you situate yourself out of the story, you become less critical, your mind can drift more easily and you cannot help but focus on the base aspects of the plot and the narrators performance, like a campfire story.It is not remotely the same act.
>>25239661agree to disagree, i agree the formats are wildly different but i prefer the campfire story style of audiobooks, our brains are way more tuned to remembering verbal stuff than symbols on a page

I used to think that women would only open their eyes race reality they had all been raped and robbed. I have now known 2 girls personally who have been the victim of rape attempts by a somali and the other by a morrocan or something. After these 2 incidents both times the women posted on their story saying "It's not about his race, I just didn't like that he wouldn't take no for an answer" and the other saying "It's not all men, but always men". I then realized that even after being robbed and raped most women would just use it as a way to virtue signal that they're still not a "racist". total black pill

>>25239550The PISA is administered at age 15, and you know it. Males reach full cortical development later than females, hence why women tend to have better grades until around college. You know this, and yet you're omitting it in an attempt to make already unhappy people on the internet upset. Get ahold of yourself.
>>25240036It's not even that. Primary education is heavily feminized and boys grades have been shown to rise when blind grading is applied. The sole problem is 85% of teachers being women who then control the curriculum and how it is graded.
>>25240036>full cortical developmentYou mean pre frontal cortex, something that has to do with higher cognitive function, not language?You do realise that 90% of the brain is developed by age 5? The vast majority of the neural pathways concerned with language developing before age 7?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_period_hypothesisEven the most allowing of conjectures stops at age 13.

You come on /lit/, a place especially designed for people discussing and shitposting about serious literature and philosophy, and lowkey misogynist, and start beefing with anons because they don't consider female slop fiction worthy of serious discussion. Like, a simple scrolling through the catalog is enough to get the vibe of the place: what the board like and what it doesn't. And yet, you come here, in woman hating thread, on a woman hating board, a board that especially abhors genre fiction, and start picking up fights and defending books, female books, genre fiction books, as if your whole life depended on. It's like going to a gay orgy in Berghain and never shutting up about women, how they're great and awesome. That's the most I can't read the room autist moment that I've ever witnessed in my life; and I'm telling that as someone who's best friend was an autist, and who works in an environment where the whole management is masking autists.

>>25239150Because daemon witches and warlocks cursed tartarian empire causing the french revolution and co opted marx afterwards to usher in demons through digital portals IE the internet. This was done after the failed attempt to completely wipe europe of hex witches and warlocks during the 30 years war. They went into hiding and we are once again at war with them and their nephilim descendents that survived the flood hiding underground. We were supposed to keep going up and advance steam engine branch technology along with nikola tesla's free energy concepts but that was the last hail mary of neo atlantis project before WW1 was initiated. If you look at modern media and culture they mock us with things like bioshock infinite that was the future vision of the 19th century gilded era. Now we are under their curses with evil technology like "AI", algorithms, smartphones, and their "literature". Hopefully humanity makes a comeback and wages war on their black cubes and raids the dark tower in antarctica they get their dark mana from.

From what I have gathered, they are crying and stomping their feet because the average Joe doesn't read as much as his wife. That's good. That's what I want. Mind breaking them because you didn't meet their expectations is good. You can't trigger snowflakes, ruin their safespace, without knowing the social rules that you need to break.If anything, to go back to your analogy, the autist would tell them how much he likes pussy, because every gay man thinks that Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and the such are great and awesome. They wouldn't be triggered by the appreciation of women as such, only by their pussy. But you are too autistically fixated on dick, this is why you chopped your tits and now pretend you are le heckin chud.

>>25239150in the Information Age, it's much easier for people with a great deal of control over marketing and advertising to essentially shut out authors from the business.I think rock star male novelists aren't allowed or at least encouraged anymore because the counter-culture to a shitty socialist/populist abomination would be giving power to the male individual and that is exactly the kind of person who is going to have the energy to want to make a new society.
>>25240320>Special Topics in Calamity PhysicsI used to get filtered by mystery books, but nowadays I have forced myself to read a couple horror (gothic)/mystery novels, and they remind me of this interview by King. https://youtube.com/shorts/1h7ysKxjHxkIt's like the author has a good idea, puts together something to keep it going, but then can't finish all the stuff he built.I will start tomorrow the Evelyn Clarke novel though, for the goodreads challenge. It just came out in Italian and I heard good things about it.>Idk crime just bores me.Crime like Simenon, I agree, they are cozy without the good vibes. Thriller too?

The answer is always porn. When it is not porn it is brain-melting slop. Associating value to what women are reading is like saying you are a cinephile for watching reality tv and pornhub.There is a reason everything important done in every field ever has been done by a man.

Literature has been dominated by women since at least 1775, probably longer, hence the Hawthorne quote about "a mob of scribbling women." The vast majority of those women produce work of little to no lasting quality, so they are forgotten with time.

>>25240486It's weird that more than a few market surveys have shown that men generally won't read female authors but women will read male authors. You'd think they would be desperate for more male authors to prevent a scenario where 90% of their title don't make a profit.

>>25241000I joined the Anthony Jeselnik book club but unfortunately he picked two absolutely pozzed books in a row so I dropped out to read on my own again.
>>25241704>I joined the Anthony Jeselnik book clubLmao. That's the edgy comic that jokes about rape and murder and then moralizes about how cancelling is actually based and anyone who opposed "woke" politics deserves it, right?
Women read more. Most female readers, like the majority of people who enjoy any form of media, prefer slop that caters to their most immediate and simplest needs and are advertised more broadly. This means the consumer market is dominated by basic girls who want to read a relatable story about a woman finding herself or maybe some for of fantasy fulfillment novel. And they learn about these on TikTok and popular book clubs.Instead of being upset at the average reader or trying to find a way to "fix" things, the best thing to do is find your niche as a reader or a writer, talk to other people who have the same interests as you and live in your little literary bubble. No, the world will never return to a (maybe imaginary) state of things where great writers were famous and successful and good literature was mainstream. Serious writers becoming famous will be the exception, and most won't make nearly enough from selling books. The scene can't be saved. But you can still read and write.

>>25241000checked>>25241185the only literature of note that I've seen women genuinely enjoy by woman is that vein of Jane Austen, Bronte style socialite novel. Apart from that it's "Powerful Women: It Could Be You!"I'm still not convinced that women read Joan Didion, but maybe her. Apart from that it's genuinely all YA Fiction, Children's Books, True Crime or Goon.

>>25241582Is that a "yes"?
>>25241597in terms of porno flicks, "porn for women" is politely characterised as lesbian or soft touch or handsome man, but it's actually like "almost choked to collapse" or "recreation of what rape might look like".

I can't read anything written by women.Sometimes I don't even look at the author; I start thinking, "What the hell is this shit?" and when I see the cover, it's some bitch writing trash.The fact that contemporary literature is being dominated by women doesn't worry me, however, because it's not as if contemporary things matter. I believe that nothing being written now will stand the test of time, and people will talk on holographic YouTube channels of the future about the mystery of the years 2010–2060, when the entire world population was literate but no one remembers anything written during that era.
https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-lost-generation/tldr timmmies quite literally just gave up at the first sign of competition in male-dominated fields with zero effort to win them backwhen older generations said "stop being such an entitled gay retard and man the fuck up" they meant it
>>25242811Just like with psychology, the problem is that they're actively fucking that field up and nobody wants to course correct by decentering women.
>>25239180This is part of it.As a whole these are the factors I see:>cucked school system discourages men who might be authors instead of being a channel for mentorship and development like in the old days>economic pressure means fewer men are willing to gamble on a career in writing>women continuing to be the dominant consumers of fiction (the big seller) and the overwhelming majority of social media users / successful book influencers make them the main target of marketers and gives them an inordinately large footprint in the zeitgeist>Women have been consolidating their nepotistic hold on more and more roles in the industry, specifically feminist / progressive women who push publishing decisions based on in-group / out-group (Women, queers, and non-whites) leading to ever-increasing difficulty for men (esp white men) to get a seat at the table as a new author>The explosion of female-oriented smut as a legitimate genre that is super lucrative only solidifies the aboveIn summary, men absolutely should not be so easily discouraged from trying to write and get published, but it's very understandable that they are given the state of things.
