how come there are no good women writers?
Because they have no empathy nor insight
Because the only purpose of woman is to ornament man.
why'd the last thread get taken down so fast?
Jk Rowling
Emily Bronte
Virginia Woolf

You'll occasionally get serious and well-thought answers but this is not one of the occasions.

Frankenstein is one of my favorite novels.
>>7368008
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is pretty iconic, reading it convinced me she must've been a lesbian. Anyways great works come from great suffering or at least an understanding of the emotional burden of great suffering, women don't get that because food, water, shelter, and sex are easily provided to them in any functioning post stone age society. Lesbians can still write decent fiction because they have to work for what they want like men do.
I honestly like Alice Munro, I´ve read Moons Of Jupiter and it is a nude portait of female mind. While apparently vulnerable, build in this sorta sad society that they have to cope with.

we just haven't reached autism equality yet
>>7368008
To be a decent writer you need life experience, very few women up until the 90's went through anything beyond "got a job, had some kids".
>>7368008
According to goodreads, 90% of the best books written last year were written by women

you got a swell sense of humour anon

Being "disgusting" doesn't make it incorrect. Some of us base our opinions on reality, not how certain perspectives make us feel.

> Agatha Christie
>>7368366
Many good authors did nothing but spend a lot of time reading. Women with their abundant leisure time at home were in the best position to do this.
>>7368128
very good question
Men genetically have that little dash of autism, which makes them more suited to contemplative tasks like art.
>>7368235
Easton Ellis calling Munro overrated is bizarre. I can't imagine anyone who enjoys reading his pulp being able to even understand the concept of a short story.
>>7368395
That makes sense, as the saying goes good writers borrow from other writers, and great writers steal.
Women clearly aren't bad writers. I do think they have a habit of viewing books as another way of getting attention though. That's why so many books written by women, even famous books, are just thinly veiled autobiographies, usually about their childhood.
There are many books written by women every year, yet most of us would struggle to come up with more than a handful of books written by women that dealt with big issues.

Get off this fucking board idiot. If this weren't b8 shit posting then you could at least curtail your claim within reason: "why are there more good male authors than female?" but nope.
Pls go back to r9k
>>7369310
Not that guy, and I don't share his views, but I do think you could believe women are subhuman and still basically live a normal life. That's was the norm in most of the world for a long damn time.
@7369337
bonjour m'reddit
>all these white knights
I often wonder how many real life women the people who post about women being evil know/interact with on a regular basis.
>>7370333
what if they ARE women??
>>7370333
I've had a few serious girlfriends, some for a couple of years or longer. Being around women doesn't suddenly give you a better impression, in my experience it's quite the opposite. I guess if you a totally whipped pussy then it might. I'm a regular "women are evil" shitposter.
>>7370333
My knowledge of woman-kind is not clouded by first hand experience.
>>7370547
>I guess if you a totally whipped pussy then it might.
Or maybe if you don't live in Flyoverland where the smashing majority of women are terrible.
>>7370554
Gee, I don't know. If my experiences with all women I've dealt with give a certain impression and the experiences of other men online lead them to similar conclusions, maybe you'd consider the possibility that there is some accuracy to these opinions?
Oh wait, you're not like all the other girls. That's what they always say.
>>7370527
This.
The harshest critiques of women I have heard have been from other women.
>>7369230
>Lahiri
seriously? High schoolers in India can write better than her. I was one 10 years back. She's extremely overrated.
because women become entranced with gimmicks like 'alt-lit' and other bullshit. The two decent female writers, Gertrude Stein and O' Connor were good because one was isolated from society and the other was a hardcore dyke
>>7371560
This. I got all of my most misogynistic opinions directly from my mother's mouth, because she loves me and doesn't want me to get played.
>>7371591
I had one girl, in whose pants I was trying to get, straight up tell me that women should not be allowed to vote because they were to emotional.
That was a bit much even for me. But, Sad thing is I completely understood where she was comming from.
>>7371597
I've heard a shocking number of girls say stuff like that to me when their girl friends weren't around. Like, claiming that being childless at 20 made them crave both dick and to hold a baby and that these feelings were so strong they suspected they should be locked up for the safety of dicks, babies and themselves. Like, four girls I've heard say things along these lines.
>>7371613
I feel sorry for modern woman. They cannot freely express the very purpose of the femaleness.
The kicker is its not men's fault at all.
As I have said many times a woman's worst enemy is other women.
what about heloise? (though perhaps the status of the epistle makes claims to her gender difficult)
what about arendt?
what about woolf?
what about marta hillers?
what about atwood? (okay, fair, but her poetry is decent)
what about gertrude stein?
I like women because they're so emotionally weak and unstable, it makes me feel better about my own mental problems and I sympathize with them.
They smell nice too. And I like Le guin.

then she would consider herself worthless

Thankfully we have 4chan culture for people like us to flourish.

Aren't male writers' works often the same thinly veiled autobiographies?
>>7371863
at least they TRY to hide it
>>7368395
A vast majority of crap authors do nothing but read though.
>>7371844
>anon hasn't read old letters of writers shitting on other writers
What is that, a rear view window with rose-tinted glasses on?
>>7371868
Very true. Is a challenging personal reason the most important catalyst for being a creative?
I'm not one of these woman hating edgelords, but the post someone made about women lacking traumatic experiences and therefore source material was interesting to me. Today it seems like that couldn't be an excuse however, and women have obviously always had the additional challenge of being marginalized in some way.

;__; Why won't anyone ever love my bookfu?
Rowling, Shelley, Woolf are all overrated as fuck, but McCullough (and Mary Renault, and Margaret Atwood) are better than most male authors who've ever set pen to paper. In fact, Colleen McCullough is my favorite author of all time.
>>7368092
What's your explanation as to why there aren't any good women writers?

Wasn't she in that Stephen King movie about the writer who gets hit by a car?
