I am definitely not /r9k/, I am friends with lots of very intelligent and well read women.

That said, it is hard to find common ground when discussing books, as most women do not read non-fiction, and tend towards sentimental works that rotate around race, sexuality, and gender struggle. War, human suffering, existential crises, after college I can find very few women that are interested in this stuff.

I tried to get my mother and my wife (both 50+ books a year types, my mother especially being a huge consumer of contemporary fiction) to read blood meridian and both put it down almost immediately.

Women can never understand Joe and Pip's father-son relationship, companionship, and so on.
It's normal though. Women, from what I've experienced, lack the tacit understanding of love that men have between each other. It would be unnatural to expect them to. They express their feelings differently.

Not accepting that and trying to hold them to standards that are unnatural to them is not going to lead to anything.

This is why TT should not turn into women-bashing and women-defending 2 fighting opinions.
We just tend to perceive things differently.

Would you expect a women to "understand" a book about erectile dysfunction or a man to "understand" a book about giving birth.

Kind of true tbh. This was just the book that came to mind which I've discussed with women and can confirm about.

He was revolutionary for his time though. He changed lit as a whole/ basically created the pop-lit genre.


>>7220879
Feeling sympathy towards a concept/phenomenon you are not able to experience and knowing about it does not mean understanding it.
I'm sure you understand how a girl feels on her first period as much as a girl would understand having an erection for the first time.
>I can only read things that are directly related to my lived experience
>Having a romanticised notion of experience

Crime and punishment is one of the most known books in the popular stream.
I'm sure you discovered that book in a media-less vacuum.

Whether the media hypes something or not is irrelevant to the content of the novel itself. It seems to me that you're (ironically) allowing the media to influence your opinions, but instead of praising the media hype, you take a contrarian turn and stay away from media-praised books.

Can you present an argument that doesn't involve the media as to why a novel influencing some of the most important authors of the next 100 years is shit?

Women are so repelled by undesirable men that reading about Ignatius to them is like you watching a very clear, clinical video of a man being castrated slowly with a razorblade. Makes sense when you consider what the stakes are if other people associate them with pathetic men or heaven forbid they get pregnant by such a man, but it does seem very limiting.
