Maybe it’s just because I’m a misogynist, but I’ve noticed most 1 star reviews of good books are by women. Go ahead, look at any classic and you’ll see most 1 star reviews are by women who don’t understand the book.

It has to be extremely well known for woman to start reading it, at least mildly difficult or boring for her so that she stopped, and contains "poetic phrases".

You are right, almost all of 1 star replies under classics complaining about sexism/racism are from women. They are the vanguard of neoliberalism, sort of like Red Guards of our time
