I'm literally a woman.

>>9811000
women don't have penises, anon

>>9811005
I literally have the other thing.

There's a lot of girls on this board. Just that they don't usually post and are just lurking.

>>9811010
Yes, we call that the 'boipucci', but it is the other thing only literally.

>>9811022
>they don't post
>somehow you know they are here

How do you know someone's gender through an anonymous post?

>>9811043
Why would I use my butt when I have a pikachu?

>>9810996
There are women on /lit/. They just are kinda spooked by the various brands of male-dominated mental issues displayed here.

And literature is not primarily a feminine hobby. The number of notable female writers fits on a wikipedia page.

>>9811115
>being willfully obtuse
Women read for recreation in higher numbers than men. If you want to talk about what sorts of books they read, that's another topic. But we're obviously not talking about writers. No one on /lit/ is a write of note (other than Pynchon).

Did you mean to type 'carrots', anon?
I don't see any carrots here maybe you should eat some to help your eyesight

>>9810996
i am a woman on the weekends

>>9811258
carrots don't help your eyesight, pseud, that was a scam of the Royal Air Force officers in ww2 who wanted more carrots

>>9810996
They are probably offline, reading.

>>9811258
go back to medical school brainlet

>>9811261
What did they want all those carrots for?

This board is likely to be very homogeneous

>>9811281
we have a lot of spics and some spics women, just check goodreads threads

They don't read literature, OP. They read Harry Potter and YA.

>>9811284

Hispanics are like half-white or quarter-white ; it doesn't count

>>9811262
They are probably offline, doing chest exercises.

>>9811304
Youre really fucking reaching, you know that?

>>9811314

?

Do you disagree with what I said?

>>9811318
I want to but I just don't know enough about hispanics to prove it.

>>9811130
Go on goodreads. It's mostly women, but they're all reading young adult trash. It's the few men on the site who read the classics.

>>9811324
Spics can be of any race, but they're mostly mixed white European and Native American. The lighter ones are more European, and the darker more Native.

>>9811333
>Spics can be of any race
this is your brain on american education

>>9810996
There's a difference between shitposting about books on an anime imageboard and actually reading/writing books.

>>9811336
Are you denying that that's the case? There are black and east Asian Hispanics. This was the president of Peru. "Hispanic" just refers to someone who comes from a primarily Spanish-speaking country.

>>9810996
aren't robots genderless?

>>9811336
He's right you fucking retard

>>9811329
Did you read what I wrote? I clearly made it known that you could criticize women for reading dross (remembering of course that even on /lit/ shit taste or just rank stupidity abound). Vapid people are attracted to social media. Women read more, hence more vapid women on goodreads.

>>9810996
there are.

>>9811130
Tao Lin wrote something of note.
>>9811138
Women read A LOT more than men recreationally, this includes philosophy and literary works, deal with it.

>>9811454
>this includes philosophy and literary works
Is there evidence for this, or do the numbers only include overall reading?

>>9811426
My camera is too grainy for this question to garner a response. but here it is anyways, good luck.


>>9811440
I'm not sure i know who trip skank is. First time posting.

>>9811416 Rob roy is a favorite.

>>9811463
old /fa/ trip with your skintone and hair

also post your goodreads

Sounds like libshit nanana i'm not listening to what is in the bible trash desu. Am I wrong?

>>9811454

No.

>>9811458
what works are literary is subjective, you can't really empirically test for that. I know that anecdotally, me, my sister, my mother, my aunt, my female cousin and my grandmother are the only ones that actively read literary works in my close family despite it having just as many men. They prefer things like political autobiographies, Guinness, and edutainment.

>>9810996
TEHYR'E ALL FUCKING READING!!!

>>9811407

A girl on /lit/ ?

Mirabile dictu! And a qt as well at least as far as I can tell.

do you actually believe that's unusual? like, I get the "no women on 4chan xddddd" meme was funny in 2006, but it doesn't actually reflect reality at all. immature shock humor is not male exclusive.

>>9811536
You're right, it is anecdotal. In my own family the opposite's the case, and being on goodreads for years does confirm it to me.

>>9811551
Women are all in the cartoon boards and /lgbt/. You can just tell that this board is predominately male by the way people write.

>>9810996
Considering most female book enthusiasts are just retards that only fake it for social media points, it's allllll boys in here

>>9811551

>but it doesn't actually reflect reality at all

Proof?

>>9810996
I'm a "woman", technically

>>9811590

What do you mean "technically" ?

>>9811367
You're saying you can magically intuit that women are lurking the board in significant numbers

>>9811594
I don't know. I'm a woman, but it wasn't a topic as a kid, my parents never mentioned it and I was pretty isolated from everyone else, so I never learned to care, so I just don't. I'm not transgender, I just don't really feel like a women.

>>9811598
You're saying you can do the opposite?

>>9811611

I don't "feel" like a man. I just am one. How I feel about it is irrelevant because my gender was chosen for me at the moment of conception. If I was a woman I would be someone else completely. Every experience I've ever had has been shaped by my biological makeup and by the way society responds to biology.

>>9811615
That I can't magically intuit female lurkers? Yes

We must get to the bottom of this

>>9810996
>board full of mouthbreathing losers
>not many women

really gets the neurons tingling

>>9811622
Yes that's true, but as people we learn certain things that are specific to gender. It's deeper than just gender roles, it's how we act as our gender. We learn those things by watching the people around us. I was raised by my masculine father, that never mentioned my gender in any capacity. You know, those little things. It's not just being a gender- it's feeling a gender too. Like women who like shopping and makeup are "more feminine" and guys who like monster trucks are "more masculine". It's more nuanced than that, of course, but I'm just naming a base example. I know there's a difference too, because my other female friends all have these little "women" things and they've noticed it too. I don't think I'm saying anything radical here, and it's not a political statement. As a kid I just didn't have the female input and I was too obtuse to absorb it from outside, and now it's too late.
