Yep. The fact they demand to be taken as seriously as men when it comes to intellectual pursuits is an embarrassment. The further fact that we have to go along with it now is nothing short of a disgrace.

Anger at a character is a passion you fucking retard.
If a character is supposed to be unlikable and you don't like them, the passion is correct, and downgrading a work of art for inspiring the passion that it intended to inspire is hypocritical.

Average negative Goodreads review:
- Prose log of reading progress
- Process of acquisition of the book
- "I didn't like [character(s)]"
- Onomatopeias
- Poor analysis of the writer's intent
- "Worst book I've ever read in my life".
- Tumblr gifs

This, men read only to gain some practical use or to ”””improve”””. They do not, and cannot, enjoy books for their entertainment or aesthetic value, only women can.

"Political correctness" is not even political it is a question of empathy and basic human decency. The discomfort you get at being asked to acknowledge your own privilege is not even one millionth of the humiliation trans people or PoC undergo every second of their waking existence from living under white supremacist capitalist heteronormative patriarchy.

>16879241 #
Marginalised people cannot empathize with those who want them dead. One cannit empathize with racism with sexism or transphobia. Period. It is just basic sensitivity to human suffering yes iam PC yes i am a sjw i would gladly burn every single last page of the western cannon if it meant putting an end to racism and sexism. I dont believe this is radical or political at all but the bare minimum that should be required of a decent empathetic human being. If you dont agree whole heartedly then you should not consider yourself on the left an lgbt ally or an antiracist.

It really goes to show the state of the board that there are actually people here who can't read for both aesthetic enjoyment and enlightenment, and so choose to blame their shortcomings on their gender and use this as a feeble excuse for superiority.

Yet POC from other countries say this is the least racist country. FACT.

Racism and sexism are biological. Deny it all you want, a lie detector would prove otherwise.

Western Canon freed the slaves dumb fuck. But yeah, burn it --whatever. Western Canon gave women rights, but you have your head so far up your ass you don't know that.

People have been tolerant of this for years, That's the problem. The more people allow others to be gay and stupid the more power the gay and stupid seek. No one cares who you fuck, you completely deluded dementite.

If you enjoy the privilege of being the cunt who posted this. Thank a man.

Almost a million white men died fighting Confederates and Nazi's, but fuck those CIS white males! AMIRITE? Get rekt, bitch. Learn to think for yourself.

I've been thinking about this and I fall firmly into the latter. I don't take notes on books I read, I sometimes try to put literature in its historical context but that mostly ruins it for me. I like reading as "therapy", as like a safe window into humanity where I can reflect on my own emotions and life and feelings as similar things happen to the characters. A lot of literature to me transcends all cultural and historical boundaries even if it's not "supposed to". I read to feel, not think.
