The busy woman’s anti-book club

[Anonymous No.1598950]

>I resented my husband’s book club and its ability to work through doorstoppers like Matterhorn (597 pages) with surprising alacrity, parsing narrative threads while making wild-game chili.

>At my rival short-form media club we talked about the commercial for Ontario’s all-day kindergarten my friend Lindsay sent around (I was impressed by the production values). Then Maya showed us YouTube videos of Lisa Lampanelli, a charmingly raunchy comedian the rest of us had somehow never heard of. Julie wasn’t able to watch the clip of Truman Capote reading from Breakfast at Tiffany’s I’d sent around earlier in the week, so I pulled that up, and we discussed how Capote’s voice is equal parts David Sedaris and Sarah Vowell.

It's these sorts of things that make me hate women.

Ha ha ha women, what will they screw up next?

Hanging out with your friends = Anti-book club? That bitch is retarded

[None !WvWWh.l.CE No.1598988]

this is a stupid people trait not a women trait. you're obviously too much of a brute to tell the difference. please be more critical with your hate or we cannot hang out.

also is 'door-stoppers' like a buzz-word for people to feel good about reading long books.

[Anonymous No.1598989]

who doesn't have time to watch one youtube clip? And why are they even on youtube in the first place? What's wrong with the actual book?

Yes, he's oh so annoying for depriving you of your right to hate women with his pesky skill of "critically examining situations".

Wow. It's like I'm really in 1977. Next week: We discuss Erma Bombeck and Erica Jong.

Lol, this bitch is mad b/c women are dumbasses. Deal w/ it, fag

Women are fucking stupid.
<--- proof

[None !WvWWh.l.CE No.1599073]

a woman trait would be taking more than is given in a relationship. or gossiping about one to their friends (and consequentially, friends of friends) with no respect to the other partner.

thats just off the top of my head and im sure even they are debatable. also, liking shitty indie-acoustic pop ditties because they are 'quirky' is pretty female. unless the singer is a 'hot indie chick' in which case its an indie bro trait.

[sage No.1599078]

Fuck women.

[Anonymous No.1599081]

men are fucking stupid.
the proof is your post.

also, trolling isn't as clever as you seem to think, bros.

I'm so not trolling. You say men are stupid, no back up for that statement. I backed up mine.

Enjoy being a stupid butthurt whore somewhere else.

And if you want to try a comeback, try using an insult that isn't the one you're responding to, that makes you sound just as stupid as you are.

Stating the opposite of what is true just to be contrarian or to try to argue against a point that has been verified by experience and scientific studies is not clever nor is it trolling, it's just dumb, you are probably a mentally deficient woman

hahaha I have no idea who you folks are talking about! psychological contention of superiority is more frequently a facet of woman behavior than a mans. the sort of behavior one of us is presenting here is the person who feels like an idiot who in turn enjoys making others feel stupid in the most simplistic of manners - like me! our society has enough people with the will to drown out situations in political correctness without any idea of the emotional politics in play, perhaps in an effort to integrate that person in the original conversation, simply.
more to the point, it's a shame she feels so foolish in comparison to her husband. obviously they have a method enough to present equal parts ingenuity to the web community, aren't we married to our spouse for the purpose of furthering similar goals?
pretty stupid on her part, if you ask me.

we never parse narrative threads and make wild-game chili anymore /lit/ :(

>Though less rigorous than Faulkner with Oprah’s study aids, our discussion was surprisingly free-flowing and interdisciplinary. From the raunchy comedian, we meandered over to Sarah Palin and Tina Fey and Christopher Hitchens. By the end of the evening my laptop was a mess of open tabs and Google searches. Just another night of hanging out with the girls, except with a little more intellectual heft and audiovisual flair.

Well, what you expect from women? they are disgusting.

[Anonymous No.1599312]

I once parsed a narrative thread - it was the most painful experience, must like passing a kidney stone.

[Anonymous No.1599360]

>>1598950
Let me get this straight: a woman is disdainful of her husband's desire to display his intellectual prowess so she deliberately creates a club to appeal to the lowest common denominator? Is this a fucking joke? I mean founding a copycat club is one thing but they're just getting together (hardly constituting a "club") and watching Lisa Lampanelli of all people; the brilliant comedian whose routine revolves around the fact that, by god, she sleeps with black men.

Demanding respect better be the last thing any of these women do. You want to be seen as equal to men and not inferior and this is how you do it?

OP got trolled by a woman. Pathetic.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's trolling, but he's probably actually just retarded.
