Well guys, I really screwed up. Me and my SO have a little book club and this month I picked Rilke. She is pretty upset right now. Apparently in the book he compared women's intelligence to dirt. Any feminist books we can switch to so I can claw back some respect?

probably not a good idea, anyway at this point just double down and propose The Metaphysics of Sex

No, the OP is entirely truthful but representing a state of mind days in the past. I'm satirizing myself as a commentary on how sometimes living in the moment is the source of anxiety and contextualizing with the past is a relief, contra Nietzsche Use and Abuse

Man I hate spoiled bitches like these. They complain about the slightest thing that threatens to take them out of their comfort zone.
I once took a girl home and she told me to put some music, whatever I wanted. I put on Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene 4 and she listened to 15 seconds of it before deeming it "too depressing" and switched to some pop bullshit. I ended up just keeping her for sex until she dumped me for not giving her enough compliments.
