>Nabokov admitted to having a "prejudice" against women writers. He wrote to Edmund Wilson, who had been making suggestions for his lectures: "I dislike Jane Austen, and am prejudiced, in fact against all women writers. They are in another class." But after rereading Austen's Mansfield Park he changed his mind and taught it in his literature course; he also praised Mary McCarthy's work.

>“Miss Austen’s is not a violently vivid masterpiece as some other novels in this [lecture] series are. Novels like Madame Bovary or Anna Karenina are delightful explosions admirably controlled. Mansfield Park, on the other hand, is the work of a lady and the game of a child. From that workbasket comes exquisite needlework art, and there is a streak of marvelous genius in that child.”

why do you look for camaraderie in hating women instead of trying to figure out why you're so bitter and how to resolve it

He was trolling. People take Nabokov way too seriously. It’s obvious from his novels he had a weird sense of humor
