Oh and if you don't take your sanity seriously and you are in a need of an urgent kek go read the goodreads reviews for this book, I don't know what it is about this topic specifically but foids are visibly enraged and disturbed when someone reminds them that men don't have it easy (or said in other words, they are living on easy mode)

radical femminist/lesbian disguises as a man for a year and a half, goes on dates and visits clubs and generally hangs out in male communities and spaces, the tldr is that she an heroed from depression/whatever that followed a mental breakdown after the experiment (that's not necessarily related to the experiment itself but rather to having two identities but still, a very tragic end)

To be fair there's an incredibly large amount of absolutely disgusting erotic content targeted towards man too, specially from chinks, with equally if not more disgusting things constantly being put out every day. A large part of smut writers are also gay man with female pen name.

you don't read anything written by women, so the question just sounds honest and open to you because it's something you would ask. flip the genders in the tweet/tweeters and suddenly you'll see how it's a very funny question --
>Woman: Young women from ages 16-29 should be reading as much Eliot, Austen, Woolf, Kavan, and Plath as possible. Dickinson, Murdoch, O'Connor, and Rich in their 30s
>Man: I think women should read some male writers.
>Woman: sure, which ones do you recommend?
-- because a) how could someone who reads seemingly not know any canonical male writers and b) grouping wildly disparate (stylistically, thematically, formally, etc) writers by gender is dumb

The issue with female writers is that most are hyper socialized and lack the ability to dettach themselves from the world to look at it through ana analytical or highly emotions lens, most of the only good ones worth your time either had something fundamentally wrong about them or were incredibly spiteful, misanthropic and acidic (JUST LIKE HOW I LOVE MY WOMAN!)

Unless you're also a woman or an Albanian, who cares? I think it's revolting to force identity categories into interpretation and reading of literature.

>>25241204
It's part of the fetish for them, seeing women squirm at their open masculinity though they're forced to pretend otherwise. It's part of their conquest.

I mean, you seem to care quite a lot. you're having an autoimmune reaction to the very idea being expressed, not even to its execution in literature
>I think it's revolting to force identity categories into interpretation and reading of literature
why? on its face it seems like a fine way to read literature to me. hard to imagine how to read Othello or The Merchant of Venice without thinking of "identity categories," for example -- if you say "I will simply ignore all talk of identity categories in my interpretation of those two plays" you're missing a huge chunk of each work

that's not what I mean -- you say your first reaction is "who cares?" but your actual first reaction is to find it "revolting." if you really didn't care, you wouldn't find it revolting, you'd be indifferent
>I don't think I've ever read a novel or poetry collection with feminism as a major theme
exactly -- you haven't read them not because you're indifferent to them (genuine not-caring) but because you actively avoid them. granted there's a solid chance you have read a novel/poetry collection with feminism as a major theme, it's just that either the work in question isn't overtly and loudly feminist, and/or that you skimmed over/ignored/didn't recognize the feminist parts

True. On every /lit thread about le women writers, I have written the same thing. The best female writers are those who did not engage with society very well - either they were hermit loner types, or mentally ill. Most women are hypersocialised and are more susceptible than men to groupthink. Only the women who did not fit in were as you said, able to view the world as an outsider.

>>25241248
>you say your first reaction is "who cares?" but your actual first reaction is to find it "revolting."
I find the critic's statement to be revolting. I'm indifferent to Rich because I haven't read her. If someone was summing up Walt Whitman with "he put gay liberation at the forefront of lyric poetry" I would also say who cares. I can't imagine reading poetry for its political content.
> granted there's a solid chance you have read a novel/poetry collection with feminism as a major theme
I don't read a lot of books from the post-war. I have read women who maybe modern day feminists would claim as feminist. But I think any good author would resist pigeonholing themselves into political labels. Whitman wouldn't say he was writing for "gay rights." But perhaps a mediocre poet like Ginsberg would. Good poets think about individuals not movements.
>>25241251
>the fact that you're actively avoiding something
I don't think I'm actively avoiding anything. I would read a feminist screed if I heard of one with good literary qualities but I haven't.

I think it’s a question of focus

Male writers focus more on creating work that I love and enjoy

>I find the critic's statement to be revolting
the critic's statement is correct, it's what the majority of rich's work is about
>I can't imagine reading poetry for its political content
the romantics were reacting to the industrial revolution -- do you think that they just really liked flowers and forests, more than the average poet did? no, it was part of their political worldview, where the industrial revolution was a corrupting, polluting force tainting the land, restraining liberty, etc. also what do you make of the romantics writing little screeds about how much they loved miltonic liberty? they certainly thought their poetry had explicit political content, shelley especially 100% thought that his verse/tracts could prompt a political revolution in england of some kind. of course I'm not saying that Ode to a Grecian Urn is ackshually about reforming primogeniture in the House of Lords or whatever, that would be retarded, but I am saying that most (all?) poetry has latent or overt political content that you haven't noticed because it's not in a form you immediately recognize
>If someone was summing up Walt Whitman with "he put gay liberation at the forefront of lyric poetry"
I get what you're saying here but this is a funny way to make this point when Leaves of Grass includes an entire section (Calamus) of homosexual poems
>good poets think about individuals not movements
not sure we can split poets this cleanly between thinks about individuals vs thinks about movements (immediate reply here is shelley, again, but also yeats, etc)
>I would read a feminist screed if I heard of one with good literary qualities but I haven't
you'd enjoy picrel
>>
>>25241321
I wouldnt consider reaction against modernity to be a concrete political aim. There's Coleridge's poetry and there's his political lectures and it's the former that is immortal. Of course a lot of great authors were intensely political but I struggle to think of any that made political aims core to their work. Because good literature (poetry most of all) should transcend those transient ideas.
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is mediocre because it's plainly allegorical and limited. But something like Duras's novels are admirable because they speak about womanhood and much more at the same time, without pegging itself to political aims.

okay but you're literally describing active avoidance and calling it indifference which are genuinely opposite things. and the whitman point is so funny to bring up specifically because calamus exists and is explicitly about homosexual love and desire and you clearly haven't read it or you wouldn't have used that example. the romantics point in >>25241321 is also correct, shelley absolutely thought poetry was a political instrument, that's basically his whole deal
>>25241252
this is an interesting observation but i'd phrase it differently. i don't think it's that something was wrong with them, it's more that the ones who wrote from outside the social consensus had more interesting things to say because they'd actually had to examine things that most people take for granted. that's not pathology that's just perspective

You didn't get my point at all. I picked Whitman and Ginsberg because they were both gay. Whitman approaches poetry with ambiguity and a reticence to pin himself down -- which is how the best poetry is. His depiction of his male relations is much more noble and creative than if any poet who labels themselves politically or aligns himself any extra-literary movement. That's my point.

>Their train is lying beside an arm of the sea that reaches far into the green shore. At the edge of the still water stand the hulls of four wooden ships, in the process of building. There is no town, there are no smoke-stacks—very few workmen. Piles of lumber lie about on the grass. A gasoline engine under a temporary shelter is operating a long crane that reaches down among the piles of boards and beams, lifts a load, silently and deliberately swings it over to one of the skeleton vessels, and lowers it somewhere into the body of the motionless thing. Along the sides of the clean hulls a few riveters are at work; they sit on suspended planks, lowering and raising themselves with pulleys, like house painters. Only by listening very closely can one hear the tap of their hammers. No orders are shouted, no thud of heavy machinery or scream of iron drills tears the air. These strange boats seem to be building themselves.
>Some of the men got out of the cars and ran along the tracks, asking each other how boats could be built off in the grass like this. Lieutenant Claude Wheeler stretched his legs upon the opposite seat and sat still at his window, looking down on this strange scene. Shipbuilding, he had supposed, meant noise and forges and engines and hosts of men. This was like a dream. Nothing but green meadows, soft grey water, a floating haze of mist a little rosy from the sinking sun, spectre-like seagulls, flying slowly, with the red glow tinging their wings—and those four hulls lying in their braces, facing the sea, deliberating by the sea.
>Claude knew nothing of ships or shipbuilding, but these craft did not seem to be nailed together,—they seemed all of a piece, like sculpture. They reminded him of the houses not made with hands; they were like simple and great thoughts, like purposes forming slowly here in the silence beside an unruffled arm of the Atlantic. He knew nothing about ships, but he didn't have to; the shape of those hulls—their strong, inevitable lines—told their story, WAS their story; told the whole adventure of man with the sea.
>Wooden ships! When great passions and great aspirations stirred a country, shapes like these formed along its shores to be the sheath of its valour. Nothing Claude had ever seen or heard or read or thought had made it all so clear as these untried wooden bottoms. They were the very impulse, they were the potential act, they were the "going over," the drawn arrow, the great unuttered cry, they were Fate, they were tomorrow!

Is it really systemic prejudice or man just arent as interested in literature or writing as they used to be? I still see plenty of man publishing fantasy and sci fi stories and the more female dominated genres like smut are only dominated because they are genres targeted at woman. Im just unsure if there's really any strong evidence to claim this is a particularly gender based prejudice against male authors and not just there being way less males interested in being authors which is backed up by countless studies saying young man dont read or write as much as they used to
Publishing is mostly biased towards jews and people who are friends with jews because they run the place and always favor each other over anyone else all merit out the window but I still see a lot of recent male books whenever I go to the bookstore, particularly non fiction as well

>Is it really systemic prejudice
Yes, it is. You can look at virtually any submissions page for any publisher and see that they have a stated preference for women, subhumans, and faggots.

Female writers are the incels of the literary world.

They’re like, “I’m entitled to male reader money. I’m entitled to male reader attention. I’m entitled to male reader validation.

And male readers are like, “No. lol.”

You’re not entitled to any of that. We are not obligated to provide for you. We are not obligated to love you. It’s not our job to validate you.
You’re not entitled to a spot on my favorites list. Or a spot on my bookshelf.

The world don’t owe you likes.

definitely systemized in the anglo publishing industry. French still do it better. You brainwashed retards act like needing lit agents and gay quotas is somehow normal.

Anything by the Brontë sisters.
Beryl Markham wrote a good book about her early years in Africa.
It's been a while since I read anything by Martha Gellhorn, but I recall she was pretty good.
George Eliot.
Carson McCullers is also worth a read.

I can't think of any modern female writers I would want to read.

>that's not necessarily related to the experiment itself but rather to having two identities but still, a very tragic end)
Thank you for your intellectual honesty. I have been quite irked over the years that whenever this topic comes up in online discourse, people directly attribute her suicide to her experiment as living disgused as a man. It's so disingenuous and rather disgusting to take advantage of someone's death to push a political point. No one knows why she committed suicide. I appreciate you having the integrity to not make such an implication, I'm sure it's tempting to use her suicide to try and drive the point home, but it dishonest every time.

He's probably just citing some source (indirectly) that gives the mean age including infant mortality.

In fictrion, they can only ever be pozzed or middlebrow-at-best or both. The rare exceptions are women moulded by peak society to be male-tier. This list is short, and off the top of my head I can only think of Sappho (who acknowledges my point many times), Hildegard von Bingen, Heloise, Sei Shonagon, Austen, Eliot. Yourcenar, maybe. Ignore keks who talk about Plath, Woolf, Kavan, etc.
In non-fiction, never read them in philosophy. In other fields there are a few respectable women writers like Frances Yates, Sister Miriam Joseph, etc.

I don't understand why women get so buthurt when men don't read female authors. How is it a problem? I'm not white but 99% of my bookshelf is, the 1% being mostly Japanese. I've never had a crisis over this or that other people's libraries aren't diverse either. Same with anime, I've never cared that I wasn't represented or was the target audience.

Kj Bishop wrote one book. It's New Weird, and great. The Etched City.

Suzanne Clarke wrote Johnathan Strange and Mr Norrel which is a combination of period piece, fairy story, magical insanity and war. It's genuinely fantastic and worth buying to own a paper copy of if only for the footnotes and what they add. Can't speak for her other works.

Indie horror. Both hit and miss. For the latter, beware that her best story is "The Dead Girl in my Yard" has a similar name to an absolute dogshit femslop cocktail-sipper and the former's best series (Borrasca) has a Part V that is also absolutely dogshit and should be ignored.

C.K. Walker is a terrible writer and Borrosca is only remembered for it's cheap shock value reveal at the end. Only a redditor would be able to find anything of value in her work.
