Why don't men read fiction?

>> No.18258947

>A mother gave her children Aesop’s fables to read, in the hope of educating and improving their minds; but they very
soon brought the book back, and the eldest, wise beyond his years, delivered himself as follows: This is no book for us; it’s much too childish and stupid. You can’t make us believe that foxes and wolves and ravens are able to talk; we’ve got beyond stories of that kind! In these young hopefuls you have the enlightened Rationalists of the future.

Schopenhauer

We have no time for your stupid fucking childish fables.

Modern men are impatient and want spectacle more than substance. Most young women read trash fiction which isn’t even worth reading. I think the main issue is that we are slowly sliding downhill from the pinnacle of culture that was the turn of the last century into a barbarism and stupidity that will collapse our society. It’s the little things like this that contribute to a big picture problem.

Another problem to consider is the democratization of culture. If everyone is considered equal (in more than just the moral sense) all high culture is obscured due to the influence of a mediocre mass culture that does not promote the reading of classic literature or philosophy. This is another reason men are not reading: a culture of mediocrity has replaced the true culture of civilization.

~d440 Rashomon | Brokeback mountain.

Brokeback mountain was good, but it wasn't Rashomon good. And Rashomon is a story about a woman being raped and murdered and people talking about her so it should be right up women's alley.

Because they want to get to the point. They have less tolerance for ambiguity while women love to be led along without knowing exactly where they are going.
