Take a look at any Best Seller's list and you'll find mostly trash obviously bought by women. Why is that? Was permitting them to learn how to read a mistake, after all?

I've said this on this board many times, but women don't read to read, they read tobe seen reading. It doesn't matter what kind of intellectual or literary value, or lack thereof, a book has as long as they can take a picture with it on the beach for insta.

Since you guys are such scholars I suppose you have thoroughly researched the matter. What does empirical distribution look like as far as you can tell, and how many women did you observe to estimate it?
Don't be lazy, give me a real answer.

I literally have never seen a woman on the tube reading anything but rubbish. Now, that applies to many guys as well, because of large female influence on society, so many of them are just as shallow, but the highest form of literature are read by men. You can go to the book channels on Youtube and see what they review: women and fags talk about trivial shit, manchildren talk about comic books and so on, and of the very few talking about high literature, the majority are men. That doesn't mean all women read worthless wastes of time, just that the majority do.

Literature degrees are dominated by women. You can argue about how worthy that is as a measure of quality but it is certainly better than using youtube and 4chan as metrics.

It doesn't.
Laughable, also, that you'd bring up academia, considering the heavy slant to the left it has nowadays, not to mention the meme degree that is Literature.

I am eastern euro studying to become literature and history teacher. 80% of my student colleagues are girls. Third of them doesn't read at all and are proud of it, third of them reads only rubbish(Harry Potter) and proudly brag about hating classics, third of them reads some of the classics only becouse they have to. 1% of them loves reading and read all the classics, sadly their understanding is very limited.

Is this why the classics are so hated in Academia and were are seeing college students petitioning for certain books to be removed and for the curriculum to be more "diverse" despite the authors having had no importance whatever to the development of the field?
