/lit/ - Literature

My name is Anon, and I am officially disgusted.

Now, I've never been any sort of feminazi; I've taken the realities of the biological and sociocultural differences between men and women, and I've embraced them. Relished them, even. As an anthropologist, I can't help but do so. They're in our genes. They're in our worlds.

I've long known that some third-world societies still have a very... singular... approach to gender. I also know that the percentage of internetizens from those countries is very small. We are largely a first-world phenomenon here, and the corresponding sensibilities should apply.

How was I to guess?

4chan in general has a weirdly misogynist culture prevalent, which bleeds even into what's touted as its most enlightened board, /lit/ - which I've been faithfully haunting for the last three years. I would like to share my experience there, as a woman, with you. It'll be short. (cont'd)
