Yes, but it is pretty rare. The social validation/effort ratio for qt women is too fucked, thus they're not encouraged to delve deep into hobbies or any crafts. Industrious women tend to have a masculine personality (autism) or some kind of mental illness

You've got a selective bias because you're fucked up in the head. No surprise coming from this retarded board.

Jonathan Swift: successful clergyman by day, devastating satirist by night

Rudyard Kipling: cosmopolitan bad ass and youngest winner of the Nobel Prize and arguably the most representative author of his age. Lost his son in World War I but kept a stiff upper lip in Victorian fashion (now the British are more likely to say "can't be bothered" rather than "mustn't grumble").

Alfred Tennyson: poet laureate who spent his life in the suburbs

Anthony Trollope: worked a 9-5 while publishing 50+ novels in his lifetime

William Shakespeare: successful playwright whose personal opinions we know nothing about (however he accumulated much property and wealth)

Nathaniel Hawthorne: Born on the 4th of July while also having an average life as the most representative American novelist of his generation

John Steinbeck: Got a little mixed up with commies during the Great Depression like many authors, but otherwise had a very average, happy life and is now taught in many schools American, British, and elsewhere in ESL programs because of his clear, simple prose.

Jane Austen: Only tragedy in her life is that she never married, although she might have never written her novels had she married.

Mark Twain: incredibly popular and successful alpha male who became privately jaded after the loss of his wife and daughters

Charles Dickens: Universally loved poet although he suffered extreme poverty as a child and had an affair with a young actress in later life.

The list goes on. There are plenty of alpha writers... you're just a betacuck who deforms everything to fit his betacuck mind.

Oops. I had meant to quote someone else; this >>10144283

Nonetheless, I do agree with you on the woman question. Many great woman writers are physically unattractive and spinsters. Even a successful writer like JK Rowling is ugly (have you ever noticed how deformed her mouth is?). There are a few small exceptions such as Carson McCullers.

Anyway, with that said, I am not prejudiced against woman writers unlike this board and its /r9k/ double agents because I'm not a betacuck.

Some do that but I know of a good amount of girls who didn't.

My cousin is about a 6/10 and if she tries hard then she's a 7/10. She's flat chested and tiny as hell. She never got hit on by boys all throughout school and instead decided to pick up hobbies. She plays 3 instruments and cooks really well.

I've noticed lit overlaps with r9k and pol. Once in awhile fit wanders in here by accident. Then there are stemfags from I'm guessing g or sci who shit on the humanities students and/or whine about how they feel like their studies will keep them from ever knowing the canon. I suspect mu is responsible for those shitty ranking threads and posting about hipster fags like Tao Lin.

The native lit posters are harder to narrow to a type because they tend to have a cultivated, individualized taste. However, I have noticed there are more left-leaning people here than others, but just like the rest of 4chan lit is still de facto reactionary / far-right.
