There probably aren't any. Most of these articles make retarded hyperbolic claims which are strung together by non sequiturs. I read an article today from NBC titled something like "Tarantino's words are offensive to Women". Basically, Tarantino said we are currently "the worst era for movies ever". The NBC writer went off on a complete tangent to rant about there aren't any women directors and Tarantino is being a misogynist to women directors by saying films suck now. It was weird and had nothing to do with what Tarantino said. But it has all the right buzzwords and the "correct" political spin to get clicks.

Direct from the wikipedia entry on Survival:
>To Atwood, the central image of Canadian literature, equivalent to the image of the island in British literature and the frontier in American literature, is the notion of survival and its central character the victim. Atwood claims that both English and French novels, short stories, plays and poems participate in creating this theme as the central distinguishing feature of the nation's literature.
>The central image of the victim is not static; according to Atwood four "Victim Positions" are possible (and visible in Canadian literature). These positions are outlined below.
>Position One: To deny the fact that you are a victim.This is a position in which members of the "victim-group" will deny their identity as victims, accusing those members of the group who are less fortunate of being responsible for their own victimhood.
>Position Two: To acknowledge the fact that you are a victim (but attribute it to a powerful force beyond human control such as fate, history, God, or biology.)In this position, victims are likely to resign themselves to their fate.
>Position Three: To acknowledge the fact that you are a victim but to refuse to accept the assumption that the role is inevitable.This is a dynamic position in which the victim differentiates between the role of victim and the experience of victim.
>Position Four: To be a creative non-victim.A position for "ex-victims" when creativity of all kinds is fully possible.

Selection bias, right? Lets see another random selection

Again, nearly all of the books here are female writers with a couple of what I assume are brown people through in for the flavor. All yt male classics appear in the "worst" section, predictably

Point is, the fuck are women pretending that its a man issue when they show the exact, or even worse, tendency to read only their own gender?
At least my reason to stick with penis writers is logical - women can't fucking write. Women read women simply because they share genital areas.

The distortion of male perspective in regard to the history of fiction and the quality of female writing, I guess? The narrowing/ignorance of the male viewpoint in regard to stories portraying highly specific and subjective non-male experiences?

An autistic attempt at actually answering:
Suppose that phenomenological experience between men and women are actually distinct, in some part. Suppose then, only women writers can express this phenomenology clearly. The only way to glean a glance at these facets of the manifold of experience you don't have access to then, is to read works by women.
If we grant this, let us suppose another thing.
Suppose that policy should be fair. Suppose then that policy can affect different phenomenological points of view differently. Here comes the impact:
If policy makers don't read works written by women then those policies risk being unfair. Now let us bring it into the real world.
Without reading women, congressmen will make laws that don't consider the female perspective and thus will not be fair to the female perspective. One example policy would be the one of abortion, without understanding female perspective, we can only imagine abortion from the point of view of the prospective child and prospective father, and not from the prospective mother. Thus our policies may favor women unfairly as children are half/half women/men and fathers are always men. So we have 3:1 men:women honoring policy (at worst)
Other things that may be affected: technical standards being defined in accordance with the typically stronger and taller men, leading to cupboards having shelves potentially inaccessible to the primary kitchen worker. Women having greater access to disposable income in single income homes, leading to consumer products development targeting female only insecurities, such as skin clarity, or cultural expression through clothing, or camera technology developed to manipulate women more strongly to gain power over their culture.
Some of these things are less impactful as a whole than others, but I hope it's clear here that if the above suppositions are correct, even somewhat, there are downsides at the individual organism level and new avenues to exert power at the organization organism level. Bad for you, good for The Man.

I don't read many books by women because women are generally weak, stupid, whiny, and narcissistic to the point of solipsism. If their book isn't just plain bad, and they have some innate talent for expression or an interesting inner life, it will still be narcissistic and solipsistic most of the time. All their talent will be applied to talking about themselves in one way or another, and their inner life always turns out to be hedonistic and lacking any form of self-transcendence.

In the rare case a woman's book is good, I'll read it. But even the best ones, relative to women's abilities, are often still boring to me. Most of the time this is because, even when a woman manages to transcend her own easy mode habitus, and has talent, and somehow manages not to apply that talent entirely to talking about her own materialistic, dick-filled fishbowl of a life, even when she clears all these hurdles, often she will still only talk about utterly banal, bourgeois, late modern frames of reference. Like a derivative, decadent depiction of a Roman emperor's life, with neither the campy fun of Graves' Claudius nor the polysemic irreducibility of Ibsen's Julian. Or even worse, just endless social realism as bourgeois social commentary.

Thus even woman writers so far out on their gender's mile-high bell curve of ability still barely rise above a "pretty good" male contemporary's second or third best book. The vast majority of them make it to the plateau of

Women simply lack the instinct and the desire for true transcendence. They are generally comfortable with life as it is. When they do have lots of talent by some freak accident, they squander it on being the third-best Flaubert or Dickens imitator of their generation, "pretty good for a woman, don't you think!," or they crash and burn into "ironic" meta-commentary on their own shallowness and hedonism. Or they write sentimental short story slice of life crap that seems only to interest other women. Women are very good visualizers, and seem to enjoy watching quaint little domestic stories about quaint dowdy women in their heads like movies. I don't think that's literature.

When was the last time you heard a woman say something truly intelligent or groundbreaking, that she came up with on her own? The same principle applies to their books. They just have nothing to say, most of the time. They talk about themselves, they write sappy saccharine go-nowhere stories about quirky people, they write adequate social realism that "demonstrates how hard life was in the Dustbowl!!," like I give a fuck about any of that, that shit is for busybody social activists and television-watchers.

The only people who actively (as opposed to incidentally) read woman writers are midwits and degenerated men who think the female mind is fascinating just because it's innately sensuous, hedonistic, and presentist, basically dionysian and bacchic without any shame or guilt, and they wish they could be that depraved.

Women tend to deal with subjects differently than men, and to gravitate to subjects different than men. Unsurprisingly, an intrinsically feminine perspective on a given subject resonates more with women than with men.

It also has to do with the current tone and subject material of most modern female authors. It is generally preachy, jaded, and propagandically manufactured to infuse some sense of moral superiority (in the sympathetic audience) or guilt (in the target audience - which is typically straight men). This is obviously alienating, in the sense that no man who isn't a masochistic subservient is likely to read more than one or two of those works - even if he is exceptionally open minded. Therefore, the majority of current female authors would likely be pushed aside.

For my part, despite enjoying the writing of some women, I am far more skeptical when looking into a work by a modern woman than that of a man - in the sense of whether to expect some sort of gender justice fueled agenda - and therefore, whether to avoid the work altogether.

Cinema definitely has the largest gender disparity when it comes to greatness. Virtually all of the greatest directors are men. The most acclaimed female director of the 20th century was a Nazi and only made documentaries. There are a handful of good female directors but nowhere near the significance of male directors. Literature at least has some canonized female writers like the Brontes, Austen and Woolfe, meanwhile cinema’s “greatest” women are literal military propagandists like Kathryn Bigelow and Nazis like the aforementioned Riefenstahl. Notice the trend there? Women can’t be good directors most of the time because it requires authoritative command, something they’re very bad at.

Is this stuff really any good? Anything more you could say to motivate me to read this?. By ‘good’ I mean I want to be obliterated by a type of real femininity that actually seems unconditional. Like Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis, I can’t read regular romance or I’ll start self inserting as the girl, I need a type of romance where the woman is like a spider subduing her boy prey, and this is important because I need a cosmic drop of the original source that femininity derives from in its most pure state as a I’ve already conquered and attached true value to existence through maleness when no man could, preferably written by a woman so I can rest in the believability of the fantasy more. It seems this doesn’t exist, but it would be the sweetest thing, like a true piscean fantasy where we don’t have to hide anymore from big daddy. I’m not just saying this to ramble I need this to be real so bad. It’s gotten so bad I’ve started listening to intense feminine hypnosis just to be connected to the cosmic drop. Girls have always liked me everywhere I went but they just don’t have any reality for me, I need a woman, but im loosing hope if such a thing even exists. It’s gotten so bad I feel physical pains of jealousy when I see the effects on estrogen on the body.

95% of manga written by nip men is wish fulfillment dogshit for depressed and lonely office workers in either 1. a high school romance setting (because they missed out on it) or 2. reincarnation/isekai where the main character has everything handed to him

on the other hand probably only about 80% of manga written by nip women fall to similar escapist categories, so if only by that virtue alone they already are superior

there are like 10x more male authors though, so the total number of read-worthy manga is still higher for men, even if you have to weed through more trash

He's exaggerating for shock value, however, similar processes have happened in other media (not so much in books, I beleive). Chastise your predominatly male fandom and then blame men when they refuse to watch your movie or show that you explicitly told was not for them.

Anyway, I've actually bothered googling the article in question and read throught it. One of the premises is that women's works having a mostly female audience might jeopardize women's authors access to status, authority and money (literal words from the article). This is presented as a problem for women. Automatically the author jumps to putting the responsability of fixing it on men, demanding they open up to women's works.

Wrong, for several reasons. You're overestimating the influence of literature on people's perspective and general outlook on life. It's certainly secondary in that matter to real social interactions, and probably to TV and movies as well, at least in our generation.

A genuine reason is that women just think differently from men and thus the literature they write won't be as relatable or interesting to men. Women don't typically read John Grisham and men don't typically read Harlequins.

Women are incapable of taking accountability for choices in their lives, therefore cannot properly introspect. Most women can't write good fiction, nor give serious, pragmatic advice to other women.

Women just DO, they flaunt convention and break all rules shamelessly where they can, and I have a kind of appreciation for that, but when they try to convey any higher truth in art it all becomes some disingenuous horseshit. They're pathologically dishonest.

Most works of fiction by women is basically 'In Defense of Plausible Deniability', & they write that same book over and over again.

Eh hem, *clears throat politely*, I couldn't help over hearing, but you seem to be mistaken. Our Lord is alive and well, and we are immortals among men. You mortals, on the other hand, worship a fantasy of something from nothing and law to chaos. You enshine death as the sole arbitrator between you and the future, between success and failure, between intelligence and a vegetable. "If it hasn't died yet, it is good." This is the religion you practice. One which hold death as god, and mankind as a malfunctioning chimera, shambling along - eternally scraping at relevance, eternally on the cusp of doom at the hands of nature. Athiesm is no different than the pagan religons of the past, which viewed a lighting strike or a tornado as a divinity, and the shaking of the ground as an angry god, you've merely replaced those with viruses and meteor strikes, gamma ray bursts and the "inevitable" heat death of the universe.

You should choose life, and life abundantly in Christ. It is more sensible than petty animisms of modern barbarians.

Really, it was a bit facetious of me to say. You're an immortal too, to a degree, in that your soul will persist even after the dusty nebula you know it by regains its earthy nature. It is simply that the true immortal is the man who sheds this cloudy exterior and enters the presence of God, while the rest will enter something else entirely. So you see, it isn't that I want to be immortal, but that I am immortal. What I want is to endlessly partake of the source of that immortality through Him who it is.

I believe literature died with Woolf in 1941, and I have read the interesting women from before that.
Everything - and I mean everything - written after 1941 is worse than what came before. It gets progressively worser the closer to our present day we come. This coincides (though I do not personally believe any causation is at play, rather, it is just modernity that is gay) with women entering the literary field in much greater numbers For that reason, I do not read many women - because the age they write in is one of terrible literature.

>>21301611
I think you are quite right. Just to add a bit.

The raw impetus of publication has always been profit. At times, this impetus has been supplemented by more lofty ideals about aesthetic or intellectual value, but at all times, these elements have been subservient to profit. During print publishing, where profit was made by people buying physical copies of your publication, you needed some aesthetic or intellectual value in it - otherwise people would not want to buy it.

In our current age of digital publishing, and digital publishing at a rate and ease hitherto never seen (there were already more blogs than species on earth by 2008), the techbros have found out that intellectual and aesthetic value is not at all necessary for profit, because we no longer pay for the media we consume, so we have no standards. Spending 5 minutes reading some bullshit article is a waste of time, certainly, but we do it anyway, because it is free.
All that is needed now for profit is engagement, for people to read your shit so they look and click on the ads. In order to secure engagement, intellectual and aesthetic value can actually be a detriment - it requires concentration and dedication. Much better is outrage, which explains the article you have read, as well as 99% of all other internet publications. Schizophrenic word-salad outrage-bait is triply effective, because it engages both a) the proponents and b) opponents of whatever stance is adopted, as well as c) people capable of thought, who, regardless of stance on the topic, are outraged that the topic is treated so fucking stupidly.

It works exceedingly well at what is was designed to do, securing engagement. The fallacy is assuming that it is supposed to have intellectual merit.

"Why do so few Men read books, full stop," would be the real question and the answer would be the same either way:

Shit, boring and overly dull authors are promoted and interesting, engaging and overly explicit authors are not. Thus writers water down their own work and render themselves boring to the reader, the reader then believes - correctly from their experiences - that literature is boring and stale.

Austen and Bronte are goods example; I don't know who Atwood or Booker are, but Austen and Bronte are cited whilst Crompton, Buck and Anna Freud are not.

Listening to women is a shrill, unpleasant experience that men loathe but tolerate when they listen to their mothers and wives. It's an irritation to be avoided in any other context. Women make trite observations, ramble and gossip about nothing because there is zero pressure in nature or nurture to make them interesting or to peel away the layers of awkwardness beaten out of boys as they mature. Women are never told "nobody gives a fuck" enough times to become selective with words or comments. Young boys chatter, betas chatter, women chatter, men are silent and then speak what needs to be said.

Reading a book written by a woman is like letting a woman you can't even fuck talk into your ear for 20 hours straight. That's torture.

A lot, I would think.
It's a topic that's completely divorced from the life of the average person in the modern world, so if you have any personal experience on the subject you could give a unique perspective that people would find interesting.
Even if your experience was as indirect as simply knowing a person before and after they were raped and seeing the effect it had on them I imagine you would be able to leverage that into creating a powerful, meaningful story.
Alternatively, if the idea of rape has attached itself to your mind to the point where it has become a personal obsession, that would likely cause you to have a unique perspective on it, even lacking any real-world experience. Asanagi and Kenkou Cross, however you feel about them (if you feel anything about them at all) have made entire careers around this.
If you have nothing original to say and no impetus to express you probably shouldn't write about a subject, no matter how important it may be. I believe authors should focus their efforts on writing stories no other author but them could ever write.
