>bitching about a personal attack on Atwood fueled by some deep misogynistic views when norm attacked her ability as a writter soley and all your response is is a simplistic attack on norms character

>comparing speculative fiction like Handmaids tale to something like animal farm, which was a reflection on something that had already happened

>comparing speculative dystopian fiction which explores dangerous ideas that could affect the world as a whole to purely feminist fear mongering that only focuses on what could happen to western women and then implying that the former is short sighted and selfish to identity politics concerning sex

>there must be something wrong about being a man

Does everything really happen for a reason?

/lit/ is the wrong place for that kind of question but
Moby Dick is pretty manly anon

please don't be mad sir, give some poetic licence. War is the most human thing in the world, don't be arrogant

>revolutionary hyper-intellectual
nobody said that
lmao /lit/ is so tumblr-tier leftie (mods and all). Not a single good argument just whining about "normies". What makes you so special?

Ultimate nu-male book.

He is the new man.

The new sort of man. You all know the kind. He's been completely castrated. He's been divorced from anything primal. Completely shorn of any crimethink.

He's like a little, supple, baby-oiled infant. A modern Cupid. A little faggy nothing of a thing who believes in nothing and flaps in the goddamn breeze, whichever way it happens to be flapping.

Tell me, would you ever respect a man who makes a fortune telling 13-year-old girls what they want to hear? Would you ever respect a man who writes fiction for girls whose breasts are still budding?

Look at him and weep. You see a piece of yourself in him, don't you? That piece that you're ashamed of. That cringing little coward in the corner of your soul.

For like him you've never cut down a pine. Never stood on a cliff's edge, bare-chested, roaring into the great wilds. Never killed with your hands.

The fire is gone from his eyes. The fire that the ancients had. The great men of eminence.

And now we have "logic" and "reason" and they're a small consolation to a beastly heart, which still beats, faint as it may be, still beats.

Can you hear it in your chest?

Last Man would probably be a better term but I didn't write this

Social Justice has become an opiate for the masses in lieu of religion, it serves exactly the same functions and keeps young people controlled hating each other and insignificant shit rather than question why specific mega-rich families own the world.

Instead of volunteering at soup kitchens or teaching in low income communities, the progressives/social justice crowd blog online to showcase how tolerant(and therefore good) they are, while being told exactly how to think and what to hate. Collective witch hunts and hate campaigns are welcomed by the media, because it's for the right reasons, isn't it? Justine Sacco has her life ruined over a poor taste joke, and she wasn't a straight white male boogeyman, was she? When called out on this abusive behavior, the response is invoking feminism/anti-racism's mission of protecting women/minorities, and accusing the accuser of being a straight white male crying over privilege, which is another vague, unprovable concept that somehow isn't racist to apply to a whole skin color.

Demands for safe spaces and censored language, calling anything uncomfortable "hate speech" and destroying careers, lives, stalking and screaming down opposition to what the social justice dogma believes is moral has opened up younger people to willingly accepting Orwell's 1984 nightmare, because they dare not feel upset.
