The best female writers seem disproportionately to be lesbian or bisexual. Seriously when I try to think of great women writers they’re mostly dykes. Sappho is the ultimate example of this

Good and excellent writers exist. Legendary authors whose fame overshadow their works and become mythyfied are created under historical contingencies. Charlotte Brontë definitely deserves her fame more so than Ayn Rand, whose work isn't that good and whose name serves it's author-function in certain discourses.

I once read about a statistical model that explained more male geniuses and criminals, and more male representation in certain fields. I can’t remember what it was called and I can’t find it searching on the internet (comes up with muh patriarchy articles, lol). This quote reminds me of the theory. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

It's the greater male variability hypothesis. Women with masculinized sexualities often end up skewing male in other abilities because they need to (hypothetically, obviously they can't) attract a mate the same way a man does. That's why the most degen women are dykes too

She’s talking about the IQ variance. The average male is as smart as the average female (100 IQ), but males have a higher variance in their distribution. This means there’s more low IQ violent idiots and criminals like Jack the Ripper and also more geniuses like Mozart.

>Marguerite Duras
Duras was a cunt of unprecedented proportions, and was mocked throughout French intellectual circles as a shit writer. A journalist even famously rewrote her manuscript by changing only the names of the title and characters, submitted it to her publisher, and got rejected for the poor quality of it.
Also ironic since she may have been a legit psychopath herself. She once argued that a mother could not be accused of murdering her child, because if she gave him life she should be able to take it back (this was in the context of an actual child murder, she was literally accusing the mother out of fucking nowhere, but also saying she should be excused for it).

[Anonymous No.20212936]

>>20212924
It’s not hard to get away with murder especially in those days. Even today around 40% of murders go unsolved. As long as nobody snitches and you don’t get caught on camera how are they going to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you did it? That’s why they use so much pressure in interrogations to get you to admit to it, but if you merely say “I want a lawyer” they can’t get anything out of you.

“Women suck at comedy” “women can’t write”

Weird that the best female writers tend to be comedic in a grotesque way. Jane Austen, Flanders O’Connor, Emily Dickenson, the female sense of humor is macabre

They might not have killed as many people (which is most likely a result of lesser ability rather than lesser murderous intent), but there have been plenty of brutal female murderers, like that Japanese lady who cut off a guy's dick and balls just because, or that woman who murdered something like 5 or 6 of her husbands. Meanwhile, there are still no female Mozarts.

Its actually kind of amazing how even the best female musicians can barely compare to their male equivalents. You can just go over youtube to find that out. For example even the best female guitarists fall far below their male equivalents. Firstly, they cant seem to reach the same level from a mechanical standpoint and then even when they play complex music, there is a distinct lack of color and ingenuity to it, especially when it comes to improvisation, they sound more like they're repeating patterns they've heard somewhere rather than actually improvising. The only part of music they are good at is singing and half of that is because female voices sound distinctly different compared to male voices.

>>20214715
My theory is threefold:
1. Lack of technique is purely biological in terms of muscle power, quickness and memory
2. Lack of improvisational ingenuity is firstly due to lack of testosteronically informed risk taking and competitiveness
3. And due to lack of breadth of character that can only be formed by a distinctly male experience (lack of social support, worthlessness as default state of being male, a drive for greatness as an escape, all of which are distinctly male experiences, which results in a wider breadth of experiential understanding and heightened individual responsibility and anxiety and therefore wider improvisational ability)

>men are better singers
Agreed, as far as technique goes. With that said, women have the natural advantage of having a female voice, which triggers a biological instinct in men to become the horny. A mediocre female singer is going to receive more praise and attention than a good male singer, because the former has an evolutionary advantage.

>>20214741
I think the second and third points are strong, the first point is flawed because smaller instruments exist to suit women, and you don't have to play fast to be a good musician. Granted, men probably are faster (as a general rule), but I don't think playing quicker = better musician.
