I think I know why you guys highly dislike -if not hate- female writers.

Female writers, as a rule, focus way more on feels and relationships. Not bad per se, but explains why a lot of men dislike literature written by women.

Considering also that the number of female writers is fewer than male writers it explains why so many of you belive all of them are unable to write.

It's pointless to try to shame a gay man into enjoying a blowjob from a woman. Yes a mouth is a mouth but men simply know how to please men better.with the same equipment.

Academics and critics might have some social obligations to encourage women novelists and give them prizes or pats on the head from time to time, but the average male reader has no more obligation to a woman writer than a john has to buy blowjobs from a hooker he finds repulsive.

Women writers should stop thinking of male readers as daddies who owe them an allowance and try to think of them more like gay johns in need of a good gay blowjob. They don't care if the lady whores starve. Let the sisterhood feed them.

Take for example a hypothetical 18 year old anon.
He is just starting lit classes in university and is reading adult literature seriously for the first time. He has to read a bunch of novels by female writers. Let's say Pride and Prejudice; The Color Purple; The Bell Jar; Wuthering Heights and The Handmaids' Tale. If he says he prefers male authors to female authors, and he doesn't like female authors, it might not be he's sexist, it might just be that he has good taste because those five books are pure and utter shit.

I couldn't care less if it's valid or not. His reason for disliking them is based on his personal experience (limited though it might be).

The concept of liking or disliking writers in general based on their gender is outdated and for plebs. You shouldn't automatically enjoy or hate someone's work just because that person is male or female.

>> No.5911513

I think /lit/s tastes just don't align with the majority of female authors. Most authors just want to tell fun stories about things they think are interesting and that is what most readers want too. I take it /lit/ isn't into stories about reconnecting with your teenaged children or about old women solving confection-based murder mysteries or about spiritual horse racing or slutty vampires but that is what the women at our library like reading and the sort of stuff a lot of women like to write apparently. You are more likely to find male-penned books about tacticool snipers and high fantasy and westerns have a heavy male presence.

The common denominator is that everyone likes stories about detectives.

Its a hard thing to argue though, given how common the use of pen names is. Nora Roberts is probably the best known romance novelist but she also writes crime/mystery novels under the gender-neutral name of JD Robb and books under either name are immensely popular. The James Patterson name is valuable and a big draw to readers but Patterson doesn't actually write very many of his novels, he has a team of ghostwriters writing novels out of his plot ideas. Most people dont know, they'll never care enough to find out the gender of the person who wrote the book they are reading. Neither are high art but I'm trying to show real world examples, who knows if you're really reading something written by a man or woman? Not every author has high internet presence and pics in their bios.

If you are preoccupied with 'literary' books things might be different but in my day to day it seems like people have definite taste over what they like to read. Whether you read a male or female-penned work that you enjoy is mostly predicated on your chosen genre.
