No lol

OP I really don't get it either, it's like they have never read Hemingway before and judge based on an imagined fanbase. There are so many real misogynist writers I don't see why everyone picks him and Kerouac, two writers that actually seemed pretty progressive in that sense, as the posterchildren for antifeminism.

Most of Hemingway's detractors are blissfully unaware of his sentimentality. In reading Hemingway, it is important to remember that his hyper-masculine personas are a reaction to his own sensitivity and fear of death -- this makes his short stories (particularly the Nick Adams adventures) and yes, A Farewell to Arms, deeply interesting from a psychological perspective. Hemingway tried to eliminate his own weaknesses by creating a fantasy version of himself -- but his terror, pain, and almost feminine appreciation for life's fineries always manages to creep through to the reader.

He was an insecure, sensitive man. The contradiction between his public image and his eventual suicide is indicative of his torment, and makes his work universally appealing.

So, he was like Mishima?
It appears to be something really common among writers.
