/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.11010369]

Has anyone actually read this cover to cover?
I read the preface and about 13 pages of the chapter then put it in the bin.
I honestly don't understand why anybody would take this book seriously, let alone be rated 4.42 stars on Goodreads.
I think the best part for me is that people consider a girl who studied in English Literature at the literal worst University in my country.
This book is so evidently the culmination of a brain on years of intersectionality and activism.

My mother owns a copy and I'll probably read it sometime but I've flicked through it and it comes across as bigoted with the attitude that if you disagree with the book you're the bigot. Thanks for that, book.

white guilt personified. these are the brainlets who actually believe what is on television news. they allow others to tell them how they should feel. don't have two brain cells to rub together. shame, but that's humanity for you.

that semi-unkempt feminist look every feminist has

the tight trimmed level fringe
the semi-plucked but unkempt eyebrows
the lazy application of some eye shadow
the spaghetti shoulder straps, black
the typical denim shorts with their t-shirt tucked in

my dick likes that

This is exactly what I thought. Emma Watson in this photo is the archetype of white guilt in the west. She is the manifestation of the phenomenon of a suicidal culture. The fact that people treat her, or the writer of this book with any level of credibility just makes me sad.
The irony is that I used to be a strong feminist and cultural Marxist. It was the fact that I ended up behind the "leftist" pack and marginalised for it that woke me up from a brainwashing that had started in highschool.

I think it’s a common story. I’m actually going to write a book on it and that’s why I attempted to read this drivel.
>>11010470
Not him but I’m pretty sure she’s showing herself off. It’s called virtue signalling, ugly.

I hadn't heard of the book until I saw it on /lit/.

Why do you know about it and I don't? Are you perchance a pleb?

You’re right this book deserves 4.42 starts. I’m really a bigot thanks for showing me the light!

I'm saying the book isn't worthy of being discussed because it's inherently shit - it's content won't last a decade or two. You're not a bigot, you're a fragile kid that's throwing a tantrum at mass produced shit for the plebs.

Thinking about whether something shows you as being high intellect or not on an anonymous weeb board also isn’t a marker of high intellect. Go choke on some black dick, shill

Going to assume that the essays contained within pic related make the entire book a complete waste of time.

Business idea: Social media attention whoring taking selfies with various Sowell books.

One might argue that Emma Watson is a more influential person than you or I. By including her face in a picture of a book she obviously holds in high regard, people are probably going to be more apt to read it.

If you do this you're going to have to learn to cook and clean on your own.

I read the extracted bits in the guardian. You don't need to, it's exactly what you think. The usual American campus politics imported into a society where they don't apply, but fuck that doesn't stop them trying. I suppose it would be harder and involve actual thought to develop a version of American racial politics that applied in the radically different landscape of Britain, but hey that would be like actual work.
Ethnic minorities in this country actually do better on most metrics than the indigenous whites but fuck, class is so passe darling

this is what life is now, there is not escaping ''idpol''. I am what I am and I rather die fighting than live on my knees. If these freaks, the progs, NYT/Guardian/Pitchfork staff jews, feminists and the lgbtbbqwtf want war, I'll give them war. I want to become everything they hate and fear. I tried being a nice guy, but this honky can only take so much.

I'm not making a thread every week about a book that was advertised by a walking, breathing, talking product to idiots on the internet. Stop creating these threads. They've never had any valuable discussion because the book has nothing of value to offer. It's just /pol/ bent out of shape because of its content.

Ignorant bitch. Spitting on the memory of men that wrestled nature and evil men into submission. Dumbfuck should be flung into the wilderness if she hates society that much
