I would call it David Foster Wallace's most difficult and least readable book. Moments of genius, but mainly distant, Pale Fire/Lost in the Funhouse bullshit

Infinite Jest was far more difficult to read, especially the first 300 or so pages when you're still stuck in "What the fuck is going on" mode

>> No.6538354

No. It has a story about a guy who is raped. Feminists generally either believe that men can't be raped or that people shouldn't talk about male rape victims because it takes the focus away from female victims.

Entirely false. Feminists believe that putting too much importance on masculinity makes it so men are afraid to report rapes, and when they do they're often laughed at for getting raped.

By challenging the shame associated with things associated with femininity such as being a rape victim, it helps both men and women rape victims.

You realize men are the ones perpetuating the idea that men can't be raped, right?

Actually, this is not the case these days.
Some (a few crazed women) imply that they cannot be raped because they are entitled or something.
But up to this point, although 'can't be raped' is extreme, true enough.

>> No.6538484

>>6538430
Yeah yeah. Feminism will help everyone, feminism can do no wrong, feminism will cure cancer and solve world hunger. I've heard it all before but that's not how it actually plays out and no one who's ever spoken to a feminist actually believes it.

Saying something doesn't make it true.

Show me a fucking feminist post stating that men can't be raped.
Hyper-masculinity basically rejects the notion that men can be sensitive, that men can be submissive to another person and therefore be raped.
Sure there are women who say men can't be raped, but these women are also under the influence of this hyper-masculine philosophy.
