Women's IQs cluster much more closely around 100, meaning that there are far fewer female geniuses per capita. Also women have no real reason to write or carry out any sort of accomplishment at all. The wet holes between their legs guarantee them everything they could ever want, from money to a husband to limitless adoration, while men have to actually do stuff like write books to earn any kind of recognition.

>We could expect from the woman that, by her existence naturally revolving around the tragedy and the drama, she would become an artist, a creator, an inventor, but that would be missing the evidence that the female does not live through such excruciating lives. The woman remains poorly creative, precisely for she has an interest in art, for she believes that she has “something to say”. Her interest for the expression is personal, always directed inwards her. On the contrary, the masculine angst brings some abilities, themselves leading to creativity: mostly as males who seek the feminine approval through the mundane activities as well as the comfort, the men are not interested in the drama nor the tragedy, even less when their lives are filled of events of these natures, but those few at ease with communication becomes the perfect artist, inventor or creator, which attracts, incidentally, the female. The lesser exposition towards the female of the alpha men leads those rare men naturally to a strong intellect, or for the fewest, to wisdom, foresight, in particular once equipped with equanimity.

>>7237284
In all honesty I think women are programmed for a lower propensity towards reflective thinking, they seem more in the world than out of it. Too bad art, progress, etc, comes from outside. I do though think social conditioning plays a big role as well, their lack of contributions could be mitigated. A bigger pool would be better.

>> No.7237495

I want to say that women are just less capable. But I think they just have less of a need and/or desire to be creative. Imagine if half the population was slaving away changing the world and all they ask is that you spread your fucking legs. If I were a woman I would be no better. None of us would. We need not only to change the societal expectations of women, but men as well. Too many men think it is their place to please and entertain women which only feeds into the collective selfishness of women.

Well we do have to keep in mind that men was always considered superior than women so obviously men would get published way more often than any women. Woman also depended on men and fell into those social norms which they still do today. But I do notice all my favorite books are by men (and i'm a girl). Maybe women get more discouraged easier than men so they don't achieve as much

Sigh. I understand that this is a meme and it's semi-true. There are fewer important female writers (and artists in general) than male writers, but being hostile about it here with no context is derpy. I've recommended Clarice Lispector, Jenny Erpenbeck, Susan Howe, etc. before. There are a large number of women who aren't widely studied and they're awesome and well worth checking out. We can argue their historical importance some other time, but as far as awesome and often underrated writers go, there are plenty of available women.

>> No.7239692

>>7239648
This is a huge one. Good fiction and poetry are deeply personal and can mean either dropping a lot of the front we put up for others, or concocting a new one that works better for the art but may be less flattering in some aspects. I think women are really averse to taking this kind of risk with their reputations and letting people pick them apart that way. I'm a guy and it freaks me out but I suspect it runs even more against the way most women live.

The simple fact is that women are all cold utilitarian whores incapable of higher emotion and thoughts beyond survival and reproduction, this is why they need a strong man to elevate them.

Her short stories are dope and she's very similar to Virginia Woolf. I don't think she's as rough around the edges as someone like Gertrude Stein.
