Do writers have to suffer to create good literature?

Wonderfully put. I'd also say that in writing, it's important to be playful. Have fun in writing. Don't be afraid to tackle "silly" writing ideas. If you're not writing out of enjoyment or "intellectual stimulation" or whatever, why do you write then?
Just a personal anecdote, but I find that the stories that I have written anonymously are much better in quality, and much more enjoyable to write than those that I have written under my name.

Isn't it essentially hell living as a woman? Every interaction is faked. Try as hard to hide it as he might, at the end of the day, the ulterior reason a man might want to grow closer to a woman is just so he could get the chance to use her to satisfy his lust.
And now women have to deal with the fear of men dressing up as women and invading their spaces. Even in the bathrooms, women aren't safe from the distinctly predatory manly instincts.
