why would anyone read non-fiction if it's not usefull for his job or he doesn't want to pretend being intelligent?

>>16304661
>masculine
Most philosophy, literary fiction, primary source non-fiction
>feminine
Genre fiction, psychology “non”-fiction, 20th century French “philosophy”, pop-non-fiction (pop-sci and pop-his especially).

Because they want to learn something or are just interested in the subject.

>>16304661
Feminine: literary fiction, poetry, leftist theory, YA, romance, true crime
Masculine: literary fiction, dense non-fiction, self help, philosophy

Women don't read books, they just contemplate a scriptural representation of their inner logorrhoea.

This will be utterly shocking to you, but some people like to learn things.

>>16305909
learn useless things?

>>16305955

Useless to whom? I am now an expert on Otto von Bismarck. That is sure to liven up a dry dinner conversation.

>>16305964
well you made a point, but 99% can't talk about this

Women are traditionally illiterate.

>>16305758
Why do you read fiction? Its not real and never happened

>>16305964
What works would you recommend on him by the way

>>16304661
There is nothing more cringe than forcing yourself to read books you don’t like because some faggots on a Vietnamese basket weaving forum say it is not masculine/feminine. If you like books just read them, if you have to justify reading books by “they will make me smart” or “give me skills” that’s fine but some people just read to have fun or are very passionate about a genre. Forcing yourself to read certain genres because you want to be an “ideal” man is cringe and honestly my problem with most self help books.

Historically it's been considered a feminine activity, but that doesn't mean males shouldn't do it.

Not aiming for the Hieros Gamos? Dipshit trait

>>16305758
dis nigga serious?
>history can be fun
>learning something youre interested in can be fun
like i dont understand. were you baiting? being ironic? genuine retardation?

women are still 80% of fiction readers.
the whole 19th and 20th century of commercial literature was based on bourgie women's tastes.

I've never met a woman that has read more than percy jackson and harry potter. American btw.

>wisdom is not real
>philosophy happened

>>16304661
Reading books is woman's thing, that's true, just look at how all the book reviewers on youtube are women (or homosexuals)

>>16304661
True, probably why there are so many girls on /lit/.

"Better than food" cannot be gay.

Women can’t think about the future in terms of morality and the overall good. That’s why they don’t comprehend philosophy but do understand ethics.
Women just do whatever they think it’s right at the moment, which is why they think everything is confusing.
They think in terms of what is going to benefit them in the immediate reality, which is why most of them become nurses and teachers because they have a natural tendency to care for people.
This is also the reason why men are more likely to travel for work than women. Not because men are heartless, but because we know it’s beneficial in the long run but the cunt is always complaining about not having something of social value to brag about to her cunt friends. Women hate each other and it’s hilarious to me when they pretend to like each other.
Men are capable of distancing feelings or status In order to achieve the truth. This is also why feminism spread like wildfire. Not because it makes sense, but because it became the status quo and women only think in terms of herd mentality. That is why I don’t really give a fuck what women think because they only express views that are acceptable. If Hitler had won World War 2, women would be defending nazism right now because of their social status.
Fuck women are so goddamn useless. I can’t wait to take away their right to vote.
That is why they love fiction, not because they like to learn, but because they literally want that to be their reality.
Women are children. Yes there are also men who are children but they are obviously not on this board.
Women don’t have personalities, fuck they’re so goddamn boring.

Men are not afraid of being outed as a terrible person as long as he knows he’s searching for the truth. Women ruined society and they all go crazy by 25 if they don’t get pregnant.
I’m so glad to be a man. :)

>>16306483
yes sorry women are brainlets who can't grasp philosophy outside of feminism
