Okay, faggots, I know you dislike female authors for the most part, but let's play a game: choose one female writer you would save from oblivion while the rest are forgotten and their works destroyed from the face of the earth.

I’d rather every male writer’s work disappear along with the women than for one woman’s work to survive.

If non-fiction authors are included, then maybe I'd instead choose her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft. Since she laid out a solid case for why women should be educated, and that how her contemporaries treated women was hypocritical, based on an idea that virtues are not relative.

So that, women should be held to the same standards of virtue as men, and given the same encouragement and education required to establish such virtues in them.

So that, if it's good to be strong and brave, then it's good for both men and women to be strong and brave.

But can I murder the one woman I save before she writes anything?
The world without female-written garbage seems so alluring.
No imbeciles to bug me with "but this [insert female mediocrity here] is totally good" every time I mention how all female writers are shit, either. The best timeline.
