>"Men have dreams. Even dogs have dreams. But not women. Women are just a machine. An imitation of men. Can a woman write a symphony? Can a woman turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?"

that is where you are fucking wrong, bro. Isaac was fucking swole. Harlan Ellison gave him some shit at a convention, and Asimov deadlifted him and threw him off the stage.

>In truth, if boys and girls are born equal, the little girls find themselves in a better situation. In the first place, the young girl is not subjected to the perverting conditions to which we are subjected. She has neither cigarettes, nor wine, nor cards, nor comrades, nor public houses, nor public functions. And then the chief thing is that she is physically pure, and that is why, in marrying, she is superior to her husband. She is superior to man as a young girl, and when she becomes a wife in our society, where there is no need to work in order to live, she becomes superior, also, by the gravity of the acts of generation, birth, and nursing.

That he had a lot of fun in his youth with debauchery and promiscuity, and that he "repented"/came to the conclusion that the grapes were actually sour when he got so old his dick stopped working.

I'm not trying to be /pol/ tier, but, the writing of classical music just seems outside the grasp of a woman--and seeing how it has not been done yet, I cannot argue against this notion.

I admit, I was at a loss for a female composer. Are there really none? I find that hard to believe.

Even so, there are many top-tier female musical talents. If not in composition, then in performance.

Men have to work in order to impress women enough so they will fuck them.
Men have to learn strategy like some sort of napoleon of fucking dumb bitches.
Women just have be good looking.
Men all over the world for millennia have mastered every art, music, writing, comedy, acting, science, just to get their dick sucked.
Men invented the computer, conquer lands, went to the moon.

All just to get their dick sucked.

I think women just missed the boat on that one. The time when classical music appealed to them was when their opportunities were limited. now their interests have shifted.

i think the desire to dominate other men is much much stronger than the desire for blowjobs. like if all men wanted was sex why wouldn't they all just become rapists by trade? why go through the trouble of learning skills and inventing things when you can just rape?

but if a man is better than you at something... you can't rape your way out of that one. i mean, you could kill him, but then you just make him a martyr. the only way to get over this feeling is ssris, suicide, submitting to him, or out accomplishing him.

I mean, this is the problem feminism identifies, no?

Ok, that's pretty great: I like it a lot.--but that's not the same thing, and you know it. Lyrics and vocals are amazing, but the instrumental is very generic and uninspiring.

>>9322520
I guess you could call them composers, in the same way that you would call John Green a writer: yes, they have composed, but nothing of real substance was created--and even comparing them to the greats of the 20th century would be an insult.

>>9322527
I think that the composure of classical music just never really appealed to them, even if the opportunity was there: because, composing was a very arduous task that promised little to no return unless you were very good at it, and had the ability to compose something of musical and aesthetic merit. It's very different from writing in that sense, where there actually was an appeal to women: in that, even if you were not truly great at writing, you could still find an audience within a genre.
