>women bad
Why is every board like this? kek

Link your book

>>17023506
Because people can speak the truth when anonymous.

>>17023506
>go to any country on earth
>the men say the women are annoying, narcissistic and useless
it must be a coincidence, surely there is no correlation

>>17023524
whining is a very female thing to do. women whine all day everyday. men either get angry or remain collected.

>>17023524
what have men done throughout history besides slaughter eachother endlessly and wreaked havoc? dont say invent shit because thats like .001% of them.

>>17023532
>slaughter eachother endlessly and wreaked havoc
*over perfidious women

>>17023532
>what have men done throughout history besides slaughter eachother endlessly and wreaked havoc? dont say invent shit because thats like .001% of them.
so men didn't invent shit?

>>17023532
Men created the world. Art, science, technology, entertainment, you fucking name it. What have women done for the world besides sucking our dicks and giving birth to babies?

>>17023532
this is why identity politics is pure nonsense and cope.
>dude b-but einstein was a man!!! plato!!! see men are better!!
you're not plato nor einstein.

>>17023557
so? what's your point?

There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper.

>>17023569
>there is no female Jack the Ripper
there is

>>17023506
4chan is an incel organization

>>17023565
that using excellent men as your evidence that "men are better" is nonsense since most people aren't einstein, not to mention that the "men vs woman" debate is completely useless and is mostly a thing either teenagers or incels (i.e. mental teenagers) actually care about. smart people are better, most people (men are women) are idiots.

>>17023582
(men and women)*

>>17023532
Highly productive, creative & intelligent people are on the extremes of distribution femoid degenerate.Guess what for every woman who are the top of cognitively demanding tasks there are 1000 other men who are highly intelligent, conscientious,creative

>>17023582
Great men far outnumber great women, though.

>>17023589
>there are 1000 other men who are highly intelligent, conscientious,creative
and you are none of them. and your only relation to these at best is the fact that you're both men, which is completely arbitrary. its their achievements and their good genes, not yours.

>>17023599
You don't even know the guy and what he does. You're basically projecting.

>>17023608
>a genius inventor-artist by day
>a ruthless femoid btfoer by night
Have sex.

I just want a girlfriend. Why are we so afraid of each other? Why do we spend so much time defining the differences between us? I just want someone to talk to about the books I've been reading...
I miss myself.

>>17023616
So you consider yourself BTFO'd? Nice self-own.

>>17023642
Damn.

>>17023638
feminism has driven western birth rates into the ground

>>17023649
Yes, we should be more like those based countries where women wear garbage bags, live in harems and can be legally divorced by their husband saying three magic words in front of witnesses. Those guys sure do know how to make them babies.

>>17023683
false dichotomy

>>17023688
It's a straight up counterexample, you retarded buzzword spewing polnigger.

You know, back when this board was actually made up of people who read, this thread would be about the literal dark ages and Hildegard of Bingen's dominance of philosophical thought. Now we have people who can't even make egg jokes.

>>17023703
>You know, back when this board was actually made up of people who read

>>17023697
There are more than two ways. It's not either Arab Muslim or Feminist way. Also, watch your tongue, insolent swine.

>all literary masterpieces written before 2000
>all frog threads made after 2000

hmmm

>>17023683
you mean like how the west was 90 years ago?

>>17023712
Nobody said those two are exhaustive examples, brainlet.

>>17023737
You implied it.

>>17023616
oh no no no.
the roasty’s final fall back.
fuck off you pathetic holes to a site that fits you more if you are just gonna be a whining bitch >>>/tumblr/

i did not expect a thread in a board of intellectuals to be at each others throats like this

>>17023753
Back to your cuckshed, untermensch.
>>>/r9k/

>>17023582
ok, but Id still much prefer the average man to the average women.

>>17023766
2020 got people lonely. With loneliness comes anger. We sit up every night and think of all the missed connections, all the denials, the mistakes.

>>17023553
Yeah because they decided only they could. That's some "taking the ball and going home" level cringe.

>>17023532
What have women done throughout history besides help men slaughter each othere and wreak havoc? at least the mean did something in person.

>>17023532
create the computer you're using to talk shit about them

>>17023766
>he thinks this is a board of intellectuals.
Are you new. you can have a thread about heidiegger or one about butterfly's smelly sharts at a flip of the coin.

>>17023788
OH BOY

The Irish boomer lady in the apartment across from mine is ruining my life via the book club she and I started a few months ago. She's some sort of Hegelian witch who is obsessed with the philological deconstruction of existence and Miguel Serrano, whose work Adolf Hitler, el Último Avatãra I severely regret ever having read at this point.

When she suggested we start a book club I thought sure why not, I'm an autistic incel NEET so if anything it'd be good practice being around a woman. She had me read a bunch of Hermeticism stuff and Jung right off the bat. The fifth book was a straight up textbook on formal logic because she said it was essential I learn it. Every night I didn't study it I'd have bouts of sleep paralysis which hasn't happened to me since high school.

Her expositions on the texts are plangently hypnotic and yet bewilderingly lucid. After we read Der logische Aufbau der Welt by Carnap she ran through a proof of reincarnation based purely on Carnap's text and a few footnotes from Goethe, which ought to be impossible, but I couldn't find a single flaw in it.

I went in just wanting to discuss Dostoevsky with someone who I presumed had a shared interest in literature and instead I got exams on Serrano's theory of Hyberboreans asexually reproducing from plasmic emanations, Klagesian analyses of Geist as deranged cosmological assassin of the Soul, Capital as all-consuming ontotheological vortex of God-in-antithesis, and hour-long deconstructions of five-minute Sam Harris clips that she makes me watch.

Now she wants me to shell out $90 of my NEETbux to buy Ferdinand Ulrich's Homo Abyssus and I'm thinking about just buying a rope instead. But at this point, after all I've experienced, I'm not sure death will be enough to escape her.

I hate books. I hate them.

God, I'm so lonely. I miss her. Why did I ever hurt her?
If I could have one respite from this awful year and looming holidays, it would just be one word from her. All these poems, these stories, these paragraphs of prose I've edited for hours in the aura of my laptop's light, in the sepulchral hours of early morning, where spewing words onto a screen is the only alternative to letting my heart rend my mind back to painful shards, shattering and suffusing in my system as chills and tremors. Oh, my lost love, if only you could see the private pain I've held onto these past few years... but I doubt it would ever make a difference, to you, your family, your friends. I just hope you get all the things you deserve in this life. I hope when this is all over, you'll stand beaming in front of a crowd at your own gallery shows, free from the unkind fate that so callously befell you.

I'm sorry. I really am.

>>17023506
I like women
Most are nice, some are mean, many are in between :)

>>17023823
Anyway, I'll be crying in bed to this song...

>>17023850
I'm just trying to express my heartache. I'm sure that's where a lot of this misogyny stems from... something just fell apart, or never manifested for these young men. Such is life...

>>17023777
yeah...

Also that Charles Yu book is pretty /based/, he's such a creative and talented voice.

It seems like you messed up. It happens. Chin up, learn from your mistakes, and move on. Wallowing in your shame is useless, learn and move on.

a byproduct of slavery, jim crow, the Tuskegee experiment, and whatever else happens when you trust the whites

>>17023983
Wrong. There's Milton and Newton.

>>17023993
Milton had his daughters. Without them Paradise Lost would have never been written. Man is nothing without Woman (and vice-versa).

>>17023811
This was fun to read. It sounds like she's enriched your life

>>17024003
It's a pasta lmao

>>17023999
So that's the role of women? Mere cheerleaders for great men? Wow, you really showed the guy.

>>17023993
And they both had mothers anon.

>>17024006
Ive been duped

>>17024012
Cheerleaders? How'd you get that out of "Without them Paradise Lost would have never been written"?

>>17024012
>t. has never had a muse

>>17024032
>Milton's daughters survived to adulthood, but he always had a strained relationship with them.

>>17023532
the rest of men have had the ability to appreciate rare brilliance, cultivate it, and abide by the best known principals in the absurd hope women might see that nature is not worth degenerating back into.

>>17024045
Muses don't write works. Creators do. You can write a masterpiece without a muse but not without a creator.

>>17024054
If I recall correctly, he was blind by the time he wrote Paradise Lost; he dictated a lot to his daughters so they could write it down.

Not sure how you jump from a personal helper to "Man is nothing without woman who inspires him to passionate heights he could never attain of his own volition." Milton's only "muse" was God.

The amount of hesitation and self-doubt that drips off these """male""" authors, you might as well call them actual vaginas.

>>17024066
>you can write a masterpiece without a muse
You absolute midwit. The muse is not some half-disrobed ingenue reclining on a divan. The muse is the voice of creation itself, the voice of the Gods, of empyrean Olympus; it is often channeled through the vessel of the human, but not necessarily, for it is the human figure and voice that has most often driven artists mad with speculation, lust, and ennui. Whitman's muse was his own body and the body of every man. Wordsworth's was the vale and its human children. Melville's was the sea.

I didn't click any no-no anywhere. You're wasting your resources. I've only been banned from /pol/ because I posted TEXT from a fucking gossip/fiction blog everyone and their mother knows and then probably other user (who somehow maybe thought I was the main source --rather than copy-pasting the article - even though I did mention the source) thought it would be funny to report me to the authorities. The mistake was not green-text the paragraphs. There, save you all your manhours.

Genius men are disproportionately celibate compared to average men/women. Also assuming Genius men, celibate or not, did what they did because they where inspired by women, is a huge assertion and incredibly narcissistic of you lol.

A decline in good educations and a cultural emphasis on anything but focusing on your studies has led to less quality authors being spat out, and those good ones kicking around are neglected by publishers in favour of exciting new works along the lines of 'Ngleke Batmanbe - The White Menace' or 'Kodyak Printarr - Indian, Gay, Down Syndrome and Proud'

>>17023532
The fact that high culture has been a virtually all male thing doesn't change the fact that even average men are better than women at everything but sex.
They built and maintained infrastructure, they provided hard labor, kept things functional, but most of all they provided all the laughs.
