I’d give a similar ranking, honestly

But after giving that ranking, I’d ask “why is /lit/ so obsessed with rankings? Why not just enjoy the uniqueness of every author, whether they’re worse or greater than Shakespeare and Joyce?” Sometimes it’s impossible to really give an objective ranking, too. Shakespeare and Pynchon are great in different waysZ

After procreation children tend to take priority, although potent couples can have many. What is the fruit of lesbian couples beyond broken assholes and violent abuse? It's just a more involved form of masturbation, an unquenchable thirst. On a deeper level male and female are two parts of a whole and must unite to gain completeness, your rejection of men leaves you incomplete and wanting. With a hole that you cannot fill with anything else. You may try to be an ersatz man, but you can't since despite how hard you try your essence is still of the feminine.
