>“I detest the masculine point of view. I am bored by his heroism, virtue, and honour. I think the best these men can do is not talk about themselves anymore.” -Virginia Woolf

Is the schism between female and male reading preferences caused by nature or nurture and how do we fix it?

She included a lot of men in her works. They were often needy, resentful, or insecure. I don't think her point is that men are bad, but that there's more to men than heroic caricatures.

funny sneaking Little Women in feminist dyke shit. It's a relatively traditionalist point of view. They're always cautioning each other to do their part as wives and when the cute tomboy wants to marry a dude 40 years older than her, objectors get chastised "don't be worldly"

anyway, how we fix it is walking back our societal need to make everything we don't personally enjoy morally bad. It's ok for VA wolf to be bored by male books but "detesting the male point of view" is needlessly cruel and dismissive.

This is my favorite quote of hers. It's such unbelievable projection on her part. Women are so uninteresting to men that most works created by men don't even feature women speaking to one another.

I wish more women felt that way and stuck to reading exclusively female authors.
Men stay with the men
Women stay with the women
I for one would not miss hearing unsolicited feminist hot takes on why Tolstoy and Melville were problematic.
