Wow based (You). Happy now?

Plath was the prototype roastie wojak

>>17728626
How do we #cancel her?

>>17728590
if it's any consolation, women who think like that usually end up killing themselves.

>>17728590
But how tall was she?

>>17728701
The absolute state of Sylvia Plath.

International Women's Day is now canceled.

>>17728715
she taller than me

>>17728715
Sounds like a case of the toasty roasty. Don't worry, as >>17728685 pointed out it seems like nature corrected herself.

>>17728640
Get some feeble idiot to spread OP's try-hard meme among strong, tall women of color onTwitter

she wasnt wrong. manlets seething

>>17728946
>she wasn't wrong
she stuck her head in an oven bro. pretty sure she was wrong.

>>17728685
If that were the case, there wouldn’t be any women alive.

>>17728954
She was despondent because nobody else could see how right she was.

>>17728971
no she was a self hating mentally ill retard. many such cases

>>17728946
She lived during a time when some of the greatest short men walked the earth. Stalin, Franco, Mussolini. All were shorter than her. You'd have to be an idiot to have such an opinion. As these men are remembered for eternity nobody knows who roastie number 507502987 is. I'd never know if it wasn't for this thread.

>>17728971
Yeah of course, it was everyone else's fault, everyone else was too dumb to see the profundity in manlet hatred.

>>17728985
Those guys were all jerks though. I wouldn't want to be their friends if I didn't have to be.

>>17728994
Mussolini was based

>>17728994
Mussolini, Franco, and Hitler invite you hang out and you'd rather hang out with some suicidal roastie? Your head belongs in an oven.

>>17729089
Well, if they invite me personally, then of course I'm going. Because they'll have me murdered if I don't go.

>>17728994
>i'd rather hang out with some neurotic basic bitch than these leaders of men
ehhh nah. Stalin was jerk but mussolini and franco weren't. Remember Mussolini shed a tear at news of Dolfuss's death (another short king) you got to have a soul to do that.

>>17729103
You got a photograph of this tear?

>>17728715
>exact same height
phew, safe.

>>17729702
You're still not safe.

If you're a boy, then Sylvia Plath thinks you're a pathetic loser when she wears heels.
If you're a girl, then Sylvia Plath thinks you're a grotesque beast when you wear heels.

>>17729771
Plath's cunt can eat my fist.

>>17728715
>tfw 5'7
When does the suffering end manlet bros?

>>17728590
She’s a good writer

>>17730421
much better than her husband

>>17728971
Yeah man having an elitist attitude and hating 90% of people is what sane people do

>>17728715
I'M A BEAST
YEA
I'M A BIG HAIRY MAN
BEAST!!

>>17728590
Before the internet ruined me I actually thought similarly about myself. I thought that 5'11 (my height) is the perfect height and taller people looked like freaks.

characters, their thoughts, and their voice are not the author's. how fucking dire is middle school english education that most people cannot grasp this.

>>17731012
The main character is the author though. It's autobiographical, with the names changed.

>>17731024
It's a novel, not an autobiography or a memoir. You'd have to be dumber than the main character to think that other than names being changed, that is literally and transparently the author.

>>17731048
It's an autobiographical novel. Not every novel is a work of fiction.

>>17730997
How did the internet ruin you if you no longer think anyone taller than you is a freak? That sounds like a positive change.

>On the latest Norwegian translation of Ariel:

>"Here in Norway, the time for Sylvia Plath has passed. She is essentially an American writer, with American concerns, and this accounts for the puerile nature of her fascination with suicide and death. It is this callowness, we fear, that makes her poetry addictive for adolescents and tedious for adults. Her verse is noisy and self-aggrandizing, like the speeches declaimed by Hollywood actors straining for an Oscar. Spectacle is all, insight is nothing, or is so miniscule and egomaniacal that it repels us upon fuller acquaintance. One could no more survive upon a long-term diet of Plath's bloody marzipan than one could survive upon a long-term diet of McDonald's Happy Meals. In fact, we see the results of such a diet in the United States itself, a nation of individuals fattened into grotesquerie by Big Macs and Freedom Fries. During recent years, Norwegians have drawn back from the junk food that Plath and her ilk have attempted to continue serving us. In this light, it is interesting to contemplate Norwegian suicide rates, and to ask the highly relevant question of whether the cumulative influences of Plath and the rest of America's high-calorie culture are not largely responsible for those rates. For too long, the American Dream, which is actually the American Nightmare, has haunted our sleep. We can now say goodbye to those Plathian razor blades and nooses and open oven doors, and welcome the chance to walk in the free fresh air, with the words of more humane poets echoing in our ears."

>>17728590
I don't see anything wrong with this at all, and I'm only 6'3

>>17731088
idk now I feel inferior to taller men lol, back then I was perfectly happy with my height. It completely shifted my perception of myself.

>>17728590
sylvia plath was an honest women, which is why she killed herself

>>17732382
>honest women
oxymoron.
