You have to admit there is something missing in male writers. Something lacking. It's why they're so predictable, so robotic, so inhuman. Now there are exceptions of course like George Eliot, but most male writers are pretty tedious and artificial.

I don't know what the point is, none have produced anything that can be compared to the work of Jane Austen.

Sure, some men will try to tell you about a book like Gravity's Rainbow or Ulysses and try to argue that these books have their own merits but you know that they aren't something like Pride and Prejudice and thus can be easily ignored.

Men are both the creators of literature and art.

The greatest works of both categories are by men.

(As are the greatest achievements of nearly every other meaningful category in existence. Not to mention, you're on the internet [spoiler:man-made], on a website made by a man, lmao)

my advice is to start with the Russians, because you are an English speaker.
Let me explain myself.

French, Spanish and German literature have long traditions with many classics, but you may want to learn one of those languages in the future, and reading them in their language is better than reading them in a translation.

English literature is great, but it is also huge, it would be an "I dont know where to start from" problem.

You, like almost all westerners, like almost all the planet, will never learn Russian. So start with the translations of the Russian classics, like Crime & Punishment, Anna Karenina, War and Pace, Karamazov brothers.
And after Tolstoi and Dostoievsky, you can read the other great, but not as great writers, Gogol, Pushkin and Chekhov.

That's not what meninism is about! This guy's a third wave meninist, he's lost his marbles, originally meninism was focused on the removal of preconceived notions, prejudices and established power structures in regards to the relationship between men and women.

Only recently the term has become first a catch all term to help men overcome their natural disabilities and nowadays even to get privileged over women.

That's not in the original spirit of meninism at all though.

Anything written by men isn't worth your time. Just face it, men are different to women, they are almost a different species.

Men's biological urges tell them to hunt and mate with women, controlling them and making sure their reproductive lines are ensured. Does that sound like a being that would make great art?

Just face it, all men are good for is impregnating women. Leave the real literature to women.

I for one am sick of hearing about how different nations are engaging in quantitative easing, military conflict, and economic/ideological subversion, as well as declining birthrates and terrorist attacks.
I don't care that Argentina, a sovereign nation state, defaulted on a debt owed to a private enterprise based in the US (Elliot Management) and had a full on naval warship repossessed.
These aren't issues.
They don't matter.
Everyday men wolf whistle at me on the street.
This is disgusting and needs to stop.
How can you expect the rest of the world to take America seriously when you can't even treat your women with respect?
You have no idea what it's like to be a woman.
You aren't happy everyday and sometimes people can be unkind to you, or mistreat and exploit you.
As a man you couldn't possibly understand this issue, but it is 100% your job to fix it.
Either do that now or prepare to face extinction because I am not having any babies with a toxic masculine rape apologist who refuses to respect the supreme importance of my personal happiness.
Men are disgusting.

I didnt have a whole of friends and good social skills till I got a part time job in high school. I worked as cashier for a couple years, and being forced to talk to people nonstop for 6 hours straight sucked, but it helped tons.

I think that's a good start, anon. Also try to hit up any clubs and stuff on campus you may be interested in, or maybe even club sports if you're feeling ballsy. Play the numbers game and cast a wide net, if nothing else you'll learn a lot about people. When you're an underclassmen, it much easier to get involved in this stuff.

That is probably good advice. I know I should join clubs but I go, don't talk, stop going one day because I'm feeling bad, and then I'm embarrassed of going back because people might think I was judging them. That isn't a good excuse, though. I know you're right.

No. I went to a mental hospital and two girls cut themselves. One cut a lot more than the other and was covered in scars, and she made the other girl (who was really nice to me) dissociate whenever she saw her (that's like thinking you aren't real). I won't cut myself.

God made his chosen people, the Children of Israel, entirely in his image, and then he made the beasts.
God saw that it was undignified for the Hebrew people to be served by beasts, and so he transformed a number of them to mimic the form of man, but with much less cunning and strength, so that the Jews may be made to feel contempt for their slaves on this Earth.
These beasts are the origin of the lineage of all nations besides Israel, and the great and noble kingdom of Judea.

did you even read the post on rowling that started this discussion? yes, they're all technically adults, but what I meant is scifi or fantasy genre fiction not aimed at children. only one is even a fantasy author, and, while Tolkien's reinterpretation of mythology, conlang construction, and contextual linguistic knowledge are all noteworthy, and he was a skilled translator, his more popular work is transparent male power fantasy; the Scouring of the Shire, for instance, is reactionary garbage. His obscurer stuff is more of a worldbuilding guide than anything else. It's a really cool worldbuilding guide with a lot of great stuff, but can you really be surprised that Tolkien's best dealt with his languages and concepts when that's where he put his time? The stories are ancillary! Tolkien was not a good author.

boys are generally stupid, and it's rare any of them read. the ones who do read, read genre shit mostly.
if you're lucky enough to find the super rare ones who are actually into literature, have good taste, and are not just being pretentious, they'll understand why most of your favourite authors are female. good luck finding those though. you're better off just settling for one who will leave you the fuck alone while reading and not bother you with their manchild hobbies and sports talk.

I believe it. Most fanfic writers are also women. It's a minority in either case. Most people who read at all in our generation just keep up with a couple of authors they like, such as Gaiman or Green. It's very rare to be condescending enough to binge on philosophy and literary fiction.

okay salonfriends I have a question for you.

alright. finished the book you recced. light exploration of effort and futility with terse prose; nothing special.

one thing I didn't get. why is the old man a guy? it's just kind of arbitrary-seeming and doesn't add anything to the story. his wife is dead, and he's just fishing to prolong his own lonely existence and projecting onto somebody else's child, without any kind of community. it just seems like such a men's studies book, you know? his failure is sad and his struggle is noble in its own way, but I don't get why his masculine pride is so glorified, especially since he continues to live on his own and fish alone, boy aside, for no reason. people clearly care for him, since they give him newspapers and free meals.

it just kind of left a dry taste in my mouth is all. hopefully this'll help me open up a conversation.

am I missing something?
