/lit/ - Literature

So much salt in this thread, and all of it from incel sweat. Read more, losers. As far as prose goes, genre romance is the most profitable literary market today. Most current romance authors are women. Most of it is crap pulp, but pick any of it up and you'll find women desperately in love with men. Most famous literary women wrote romance stories featuring women head-over-heels for men at some point or another during their careers. I'm not big on poetry, but Izumi Shikibu and Ono no Komachi wrote some great love haiku (often pretty steamy...) in Heian Japan and a good chunk of Sappho's work was about men.
