>girls recently read 1984
>always says stuff like "unperson" "big brother is watching you" "the ministry of truth lalala"

she basically strings it together and it makes no sense. It's so obvious that she's just read the book and is going through a phase.

What do I do?

either fuck her or don't pay attention to her, either way who care's what comes out of her mouth? all you should be worrying about is cumming into her mouth.

> ... that they are incapable of taking a purely objective interest in anything whatever, and the reason for this is, I think, as follows. Man strives in everything for a direct domination over things, either by comprehending or by subduing them. But woman is everywhere and always relegated to a merely indirect domination, which is achieved by means of man, who is consequently the only thing she has to dominate directly. Thus it lies in the nature of women to regard everything simply as a means of capturing a man, and their interest in anything else is only simulated, is no more than a detour, i.e. amounts to coquetry and mimicry.

Why does it seem we have this thread about weekly?

Tells her you think she's trivializing the book with the way she's been referencing the contents and to reread the book and for her to consider why Orwell made and utilized these concepts in the book, and what point he was trying to make.

Or you can just ignore her and be content that you, her, and all your loved ones are all humans enduring the same human troubles and learning from them in whatever ways we can; that you should take the time to refine yourself and your understanding of things as well as you can before trying to direct others.

You stop believing in the view that compels you to view woman as equals and adhere to the ancient vision of regarding a woman as something between a child, a courtisane and a house servant. This whole "my girlfriend has to be on my level intellectually" thing is fairly new. Of course you can teach her things and guide her to a greater understanding, but you shouldn't expect things from the start. These expectations and this mocking is what you reserve for your friends.

This may sound wholly old fashioned and horrible to most, but I'd rather love a woman for what she is and focus on her other great qualities than insist she's a faultless intellectual. This view creates a sort of loving tolerance instead of secret resentment. Of course you should never be fully honest about it in these days.

I agree completely, but can't help trying anyway. Watching my girlfriend (who is actually smarter than most women) try to use logic is like watching a child figure out a new toy. There's the odd female intellectual, but not many.

I read about half of 1984, just after he explained what the hells happening in the world, and that was about 6 or 7 months ago and I have not had the desire to pick it up and start reading again.

Is there any reason I should?

Depends how much you paid for the book.

If you paid a lot, read it to get your moneys worth
If you didn't don't bother it's not very good.

>> No.2941277

Yeah I didn't pay anything for it.

Has George Orwell written anything else that's worth taking a gander at? I enjoyed Animal Farm.

I got into an argument once with my ex-girlfriend in which I must have seemed condescending, so she asked seriously and angrily: "Do you think you're smarter than me?"

I was caught of guard so by the look on my face she could see that I obviously thought that was the case. So I admitted to it, but the relationship never was the same and crumbled from there. She obviously thought I had regarded her as my intellectual equal. This is some delicate shit. You can't win except with lies. Lies or being alone.
