Generally it's the lack of being truly self-aware. Women are wired in a way that stacks the cards against them when trying to make something self aware or self critical.

First off, these are gross generalizations. I love Plath, Woolf, Austen and Didion. Below are a list of reasons why the most women attractive enough to potentially get by on a man's provision aren't good writers. Hopefully each of these statements is adequately qualified.

They're less likely to have exceptional intelligence or other personality traits (narrower first and second standard deviations from the mean).

Lack of exceptional personality traits means they'll probably write about lame shit everyone's thought of already.

In terms of priorities, women are generally less interested in things that don't contribute directly to making their lives better. Producing a good story or poem is less likely to make a woman's life easier than spending that time keeping a strong hand on her social circle. A man, on the other hand, has plenty of incentive to slave away at esoteric pursuits because if he gets famous at 45 he can still get laid for it.

Women judge men by their storytelling ability and ability to manipulate emotions, so men have a powerful incentive to git gud at that stuff.

The average woman in a first world country is so thoroughly shielded from the way most of the world lives that it isn't funny. It's in basically nobody's interest to toughen a girl up or expose her to West Virginia hillbillies or central American street children. This narrows their range of experience and empathy to encompass only their own homes and places like them.

>> No.7059644

For the same reason they don't tend to be that funny, they don't need to be. For the majority of women, the only thing they ever need to cultivate is their looks.

Okay, the way I think most men can live to their best advantage if they desire to both have sex and emotional intimacy with a woman.

Happy now?

>> No.7060155

Women spend their formative years extremely valued simply for existing in a way hardly any man could ever imagine. They don't face loneliness, hopelessness, or anxiety like men do. They expend less energy on abstract thoughts because they are so wrapped up in the world in front of them, because the world in front of them gives them constant positive feedback and constantly validates their existence.

They also have a lower standard deviation in IQ so while less likely to be morons, and perhaps slightly more intelligent on average even, there are significantly fewer brilliant women than brilliant men.

But of course, there are a number of very talented female writer. Just fewer than male writers, and it will likely always be this way naturally.

I wouldn't say that's all they want, but it's pretty low on their hierarchy of needs. A woman pretty much needs to either discard the need for a dominant partner or have a dominant partner to move beyond that as her primary desire. Unfortunately, spending your youth trying to convince the biggest baddest man you can get to tie you down isn't a great preparation for making good art once he does so. I seriously saw a clickbait article posted on facebook by some of the hotter women I know called "An Open Letter to the Men Who Didn't Have The Balls to Claim Me." It was nothing but passive-aggressive resentment that they'd let themselves get fucked and chucked.

Part of their dilemma is that even a 10/10 girl who could easily get a great partner will not be satisfied with whoever she settle with unless she's sure she played the field, so a massive amount of time can go down the hole trying to make sure she's getting the absolute best instead of just the top 2%, time she could be using to get good at literally anything else.

Meanwhile most men kinda have a set of standards and any woman who meets those standards is good enough. Much less distracting way to go about things.

They lack the rational capacity to evaluate irrational emotions and frame them in a way that is both informing to the reader and capable of stirring that same emotion within the reader. Wordsworth said that the way he wrote a poem was to first experience an intense emotion, and then reflect on it rationally, and then form a poem around it. Women are capable of the first act, but are hopelessly ill equipped to deal with the second.
