It's to teach you three of the seven liberal arts (grammar, logic and rhetoric). Great intellectuals learned to think with the help of the seven liberal arts.

Thank you for assuaging my doubts about whether or not I'm being brainwashed by feminism by proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that feminists are correct and you genuinely are whiny manbabies who don't understand the world. I'd say have a good life but we both know you won't

I think it’s a question of focus
Male writers focus on creating books that I love and enjoy

The Fountainhead is the best book ever written by a woman. You don't even have to agree politically with Rand to acknowledge that.
Unlike Atlas Shrugged, Fountainhead holds up perfectly regardless of your philosophical position.

This is one of the greatest novels I have ever read.

Also, to my mind (and I have read a lot of poetry) Emily Dickinson is by far the greatest lyric poet of all time. Her metaphorical exuberance is awe-inspiring. She is like Shakespeare or the poet of the Book of Job working in far smaller scale poems, usually compressing metaphors and imagery to the densest possible state.
