Women can’t write. Evelyn Waugh is alright though. She’s clearly inferior to male writers like George Sand and George Elliot

It's a joke, tranny. The Evelyn Waugh joke is pretty played out by now but I have to admit, this is the first I've ever read someone use George Sand and George Elliot for the same joke even though it's pretty obvious as well. I laughed.

There are so many great male writers that female writers have always been an afterthought.
