Is this the same guy still getting mad that I spoke badly of your hero Christopher Hitchens earlier? Get over it already. I'm not a militant agnostic, I'm an atheist who is anti-militant.

Not the same guy. I saw someone post that phrase yesterday and thought it was a fairly accurate description of the majority of /lit/, who rage at both Christians and Atheists.

>> No.2946577

Most of these, as I'm interpreting this as female authors who've written post-1950, but not exclusively post-1950:

Anna Akhmatova
Marian Engel
Cristina Peri Rossi
Latife Tekin
Nan Shepherd
Marghanita Laski
Fleur Jaeggy
Le Minh Khue
Marguerite Young
Dorothea Tanning
Luljeta Lleshanaku
Nicole Brossard
Renata Adler
Anna Seghers
Nancy Mitford
Deborah Levy
Renee Gladman
Elisabeth Rynell
Penelope Mortimer
Merce Rodoreda
Anna Banti

I'm on my phone so I can't really cite anything, but Dawkins had a thing recently called "elevatorgate" (yeah, I hate the name too) where he essentially said Western women have no reason to complain because women overseas have it worse. Obviously this rationale could never be applied to atheists' complaints, though.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is post-1950? Durr.

JT Leroy (pseudonym for the female author, can't remember her real name) is cool. Her novel Sarah is about a transgendered child prostitute. The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things is related, but not as good.

Also, I really like Herta Muller. She's a German author who one the Nobel prize a few years ago. Her novel Traveling on One Leg is extremely brilliant, and often reads like a poem. Feminist themes. Highly recommend.

Also, another German author I really like is Elfriede Jelenick. She identifies as a "counterintuitive feminist," though her politics make perfect sense to me. Her play Clara S, based on Clara Schumann, wife of composer Robert Schumann and a composer herself. A book of hers called The Pianist was made into a film a few years back and it won Cannes. I haven't read it, but given the quality of the play I already mentioned, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's gotta be worthwhile.

Atheists can also be homophobes. According to some atheists all gay men do anal (instead of frottage/alternatives), are promiscuous, are unnatural, and are responsible for AIDS/HIV. And surely many atheists are prejudiced against immigrants, people with accents, foreigners, etc.
