>>25353260why should i read a book about women written by a woman?
>>25353260Nice, an incel bait thread that isn't totally worthless >books that make you understand women more.Madame Bovary (mostly just confirmed and clarified some things)>books that make you love women.Can't think of any. Maybe, almost, LOTR since the few in it are nice most of the time. >books that make you hate women.Any of the Wheel of Time books. Madame Bovary a tiny bit, but as I said by the time I read it I'd already mostly figured women out and already hated them as much as I'm ever going to. >And anything in between.Kristin Lavransdatter was written with a very... specific, kind of view on female nature. The author was a huge fan of GK Chesterton and a Catholic convert but also a very modern (and Nordic!) woman embedded in the art/whatever cene of early 1900s Europe and a feminist iirc. It's not that great as literature but if for some reason you want insight into the mind of the kind of women I like to call "tradthots" (or if you are one yourself, I suppose) it might interest you. Don't bother otherwise, just read Austen or something.
>>25353260Sex and Character by Otto Weininger and On Women by Schopenhauer is all you need.

>Understanding womenWisdom is realizing that there's nothing to understand. They are simply just a creature that is a complete and utter slave to their own emotions and whims.
>>25353501It sounds like you understand them perfectly though
>>25353260i wish i had a pussy to feel the breeze
>>25353418This is a great book. I think I first saw it on a chart a few years ago? Last Words from Montmartre is also very good
>>25353260Katherine Mansfield's short stories are great in that regard. The Bay moved me to tears, but all the ones in The Garden Party are great.
>>25353260What does the Ogawa novel teach about women? I've read a couple of her short stories, seemed like she was influenced by Haruki Murakami.
>>25353306>note: this is what women actually believefor hundreds and hundreds of pages. it's very instructive.
>>25353260Unironically my diary desu
>>25353838I can't be certain but her overlap with Murakami seems to me just the result of their individual Kafkamaxxing, rather than a lateral exchange.The book is very poignat about how conformity and anxiety feed into each other, although I suppose it's difficult to tell to which degree this results from a female and to which from a Japanese cultural perspective.
I don't believe I could ever understand women because no woman can write objectively about the advantages she doesn't realize she has over men, and the modern climate won't allow publishers to platform men who notice those issues. Gender and culture wars have so clouded the topic that it's a pointless issue.But if you're looking for a depiction of the way women are subtly demeaned and infantilized by men, I thought Butler's Dawn was exceptional. I didn't finish the trilogy as I was satisfied by the first novel alone.
