I bet you masturbate to Thunderf00t's YouTube videos and have neither watched a single episode of FF nor picked up a single feminist book your entire life.

And Sarkeesian is a baby feminist. I wonder just how badly you get triggered by higher level feminists.

Depends.

If you understand Japanese you could read the tale of Genji.

If you're well read and have a firm grasp of the English language then you could try Woolf.

Frankenstein is pretty good too
