Hello /lit/,

Given your hatred for women and their lack of education in literature, how would you go about educating one as a board? What would you start her off on? Where would you start? Do you think women are even worth trying on? What if you had a willing subject? I'm quite curious.

I don't think I'd care what she read; if she was genuinely interest in literature I'd share what I like and help her find stuff she'd like too.

There is one way /lit educates as a board: people give opinions they'd never give in public, some of these are valuable, the majority are not.

I'm not really qualified to run a literature course, so I'd probably say take a starter course at a college then casually read what sounds interesting.

1. Stop looking for acceptance from anonymous strangers on the internet.

2. Pick up a book.

3. Begin reading.

Generally seen a great distaste of women on this board, usually because they are "uneducated" or read only YA crap. The last part I can understand the disdain, I wouldn't want to talk to some vapid woman who had only read teenage angst and ridiculous romances. I'm thinking ahead, what if I have a daughter? Do I want her to end up like that? Of course not, so I'm wondering how I would teach her. Of course there are the usual Greeks but do I account for her gender and give her works focusing on gender?

I would dive right into the greatest work, and not waste time with anything else. Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, easily. It's truly the end result of thousands of years of written human language and storytelling, with all of the intricacies and complexity articulated into a simple beautiful and elegant way. Every section is an existential crisis that makes you a better human being.

No, there are specific boards for that type of content. Just because something was made to fulfil a certain perversion a decade and a half ago doesn't mean it still does you absolute dunce.

Amusingly, the majority of the recommendation charts on /lit/ were made by women.

So it's often been women educating men here anyway.

It would really depend on what their level of reading is and the type of girl. You're in luck if she has an artsy disposition in any variety. You just lead her on a train that branches out into deeper literature. For example she can start on Murakami and Auster and if she digs those you can turn her onto Kafka, Borges, Marquez, and Calvino. Or start her on Bukowski which you can transition into Lawrence and Hamsun. See how this works?

>> No.8292164

>>8292153
Oh also I forgot to mention poetry is huge. Depending on the girl just reading her select stuff will get her juices flowing. Go for a mix of classic and accessible.

Just encourage a learning and inquisitive mindset in your daughter, she'll work out herself. Your society will very much be a force that starts to mold her into what it thinks women should be like though, ie, not book nerds.

>the usual Greeks but do I account for her gender and give her works focusing on gender?

If you do go ahead with this education, she will hate a lot of philosophy, because a lot of it is written by men and presents the bias of men etc. She might lose interest because of this, and assume that philosophy isn't for someone like her, someone with a vagina. Break up the man philosophy by giving her bits of womenz, or at least what there is available. Once she's read the Greeks, move onto to the philosophies that tell people how oppressed the majority of people are by everyone else, such as the good kinds of feminist theory. She will secretly resent you for a couple years until she's a bit older and wiser, then she will feel sorry for you, and then she will get older and wiser again, and she will just feel sorry for everyone and feel miserable that she was born a woman.

Or you could just let her have fun and paint her nails like a regular daddy's little princess.

Reading literature inevitably leads to self-awareness and that simply isn't a healthy attribute for women. Becoming literary involves being melancholy if not actually depressed, and unless you possess a great deal of mental reserve and prowess like myself it is very likely that a lesser mind will attempt to desperately distract themselves from said melancholy by pursuing a degenerate and hedonistic lifestyle. Either that or they become extremely prudish and cold and anchor themselves in some form of illogical political ideology. Only red-blooded and red-pilled individuals like myself, possessing both genius and immense mental capacity, are suited to developing a sincere and profound interest in lit-er-a-ture.
