Note that she doesn't say she likes it. She says that it's "a great work of literature". Most probably she thinks that the Odyssey is "problematic", and that in saying that they like the Odyssey men are expressing some kind of toxic masculinity.

faggots can't understand that Odyssey is educational and teaches life,what it is to grow up and start taking on manly responsibility,and that in life you will have to make difficult decisions like going between Scylla and Charybdis,and most of all loyalty and holding dominion because queers are incapable of being a patriarch of a family and incapable of being true to their beloved because they are aids infested whores.

the truth is odyssey is about the reader,you will find plenty of themes relevant to the struggles you face as a man.

Citizen Kane is an excellent movie; Orson Welles was indisputably a genius. While I personally prefer F For Fake or The Magnificent Ambersons, Citizen Kane is one of the greatest films ever made, extremely entertaining, and a totally justified choice for favorite film.

It sincerely disgusts me when I see 110ers accusing anybody who displays even the slightest interest in upper middlebrow culture as "pretending" to like art which they lack the attention span to appreciate. As if the exclusive reason to seek out beauty and amusement is to "impress others"...

People who see art as nothing but a neat accessory for their personality are the scum of the fucking earth and materialistic insects who have nothing to offer either others or themselves. The only they should ever open their mouths is to gargle bleach.

Of course they want White male politicians to be meeklings who can't assert their own dominance. If you let someone else define your contribution or role in society, you by that action have tacitly accepted your degradation as a second-class citizen.

It's a jibe at men, she is saying that men falsely identify with greatness. Liking the story is just an expression of their male supremacy, visions of grandeur which are signs of an abusive man, as if men read like women and simply think, 'Wow, that's so ME!'

I think the whole "what's your favorite X?" question format is a strange thing to get asked as an adult. I don't have a favorite book or movie, because I watch and read a lot of them and I don't need to pick of both.

Answers to these kinds of questions are often strategically chosen and are rarely completely honest. I know English professors who don't have "favorite authors," but if asked they'll say Henry James because Melville is too obvious of an answer.
