Isn't it strange that, unlike most other languages, the greatest English authors of both prose and poetry have been women? Emily Dickinson is unquestionably the greatest Anglophone poet, and George Eliot and Virginia Woolf are tied as the greatest Anglophone prose authors. The prose list is especially damning for Anglo men; Edith Wharton and Jane Austen both come before the best male writer (Henry James), and the Brontës are up there too. What's going on with Anglo "men"?

I went through the same phase as a lot of women my age; the "I can't like feminine things or I'm a vapid whore" phase, which is very common for women. I tried to get over it, and I have for the most part, but as far as books go, I only read female authors if I read the book before I know what gender the author is, which happens more often than you'd think.

That has nothing to do with the topic of literature. Female authors are simply inferiour to anything worth reading. They are simply the mediocre gender, without any relevant geniuses, which also reflects in great literary works. Understanding this, means understanding your own nature.

That's just not true. How a woman sees herself would of course impact how she writes

Female authors are simply inferiour to anything worth reading. They are simply the mediocre gender, without any relevant geniuses, which also reflects in great literary works.
fundamentally untrue, especially if you consider the amount of female authors in the western canon. (adjusted of course, for the fact that women have been actively suppressed for most of history)

i dont hold prejudice against female writers but it certainly seems like the majority of great works are written by men. however, frankenstein is a great work by a woman, i've read two books by black women "their eyes were watching god" and "song of solomon" and also the outsiders is pretty gud

They're too emotional. Even the female writers that are most unlike other female writers (Devi, Rand) still let their emotions guide them even though they try to be rational. Don't get me wrong, the same goes for many men, but not all.

>Do you hold any prejudice against female writers?
Yes, none of us can help but be prejudicial, however open-minded.
The main concerns I have with female writers are that they are 1) obsessively self-interested such that it effects their narrative, 2) are overly-holistic, philosophical meanderers, or 3) are overt female chauvinists. Any one of these defects alone is tolerable, but in combination is not.
For any book written by a female, I consider the following:
1) has it been published by some kind of women-only collective publishing house (e.g. Virago, Honno, etc.)?
2) is it a book written ostensibly for women and about women, portraying their unassuming disquiet under some kind of overbearing male dispensation?
3) are there excessive references to any of the following in either the blurb or introduction: "women's perspective", "sympathetic portrayal of a community, in particular the women", "womenfolk", "patriarchy", "punitive effects against women", "silent", "oppressed", etc. to name only some of the countless, colourful ways in which women have written about their not having been written about quite in the way that they'd have liked in hindsight.
If it meets these three criteria, I am unlikely to read it. Occasionally, I will go for it anyway out of a kind of curious masochism, and because I have more money than sense and like books for their own sake.
>Do you read female writers?
Yes. One of my favourite authors is female. I also like a couple women's poems, and some of my favourite books were written by women, including a couple of the domestic-centric, it's-hard-being-a-woman-in-a-house-rent-free kind of novels.

IQ reflects upon everthing. STEM has absolutely nothing to do with IQ. Even a dog can "learn" to count and bark on the right spots, but you can't make him understand.
