I actually laughed because it seems so malicious, but after some reflection I realized its completely true.

I'd be happy just filtering all reviews that contain images, but it probably has the same effect either way.

Pretty sure I've read the same books you all have and I'm a woman. I don't think is just women who make goodreads shitty with all the feminist, queer, romance or erotica shit, teenagers are worse and there are more of them.

Goodreads works fine for keeping a record of what you read, just don't add any friends and ignore the site's recommendations.

I enjoy reading the top reviews on alot of the /lit/ cores, it's nothing but liberals complaining about the white patriarchy and a lack of good gender perspectives.

Although sometimes it pushes me too far toward the book that I actually end up buying it, such as pic related

People complaining about mansplaining and the patriarical gender roles by having an old white man explaining everything to a girl.

I haven't read it yet, but I think I dun goofed.

My anti-SJW autism got the better of me.

Sophie's World is a fine introductory text to philosophy if you're in your early teens.

If you're more than twenty, not so much.

Millennial men don't read. The last few times I went to a book signing I was overwhelmed by the lack of young men in them.

no, she is demented. I've read a few of her reviews now for laughs and a few of them she gives 1-2 stars mainly because she finds out the author or the character is a Republican

also read the rest of her review on Robinson Crusoe, if you think she is ironic.
