How can we make literature more accessible to female readers?
by not berating them.
>>7942206
Making stuff dumber doesn't help anyone
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT WOMEN? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE INSULT WOMEN SO I CAN CALL THEM A VIRGIN
VIRGINS EVERYWHERE
>>7942206
False premise.
>>7942225
are you saying literature has reached maximum accessibility for all women?
>>7942206
Women buy tons of books. It's just most of the tales women like involved ripped 6'4" studs with surprisingly long and thick penises who are not only financially independent, but also have a 'bad boy' streak in them that excites the woman's inner attraction to romantic uncertainty and challenges her to sexually experiment with said man in ways she's never experimented with other men before. You can also appeal to niches with things like making the man privy to certain fetishes, making the man of an exotic nationality/ethnicity, giving the man superhuman powers (re: Twilight) among other variations.
Books like those usually sell like hotcakes and have at least a small amount of vaginal fluid still stuck to their covers.
>>7942232
>It's just most of the tales women like involved ripped 6'4" studs with surprisingly long and thick penises who are not only financially independent, but also have a 'bad boy' streak in them
so if a book like Crime & Punishment had these themes it would appeal to women?
>>7942245
oh believe me, it would sell far better. but things like the suffering of man's spirit are very difficult to comprehend for most women.
>>7942231
No. You got me. Literature is just as accessible to female readers as male readers. Could probably be more accessible to everyone.
>>7942206
What the hell are you trying to ask? What changes "should we make" to the way literature is written? How can literature be marketed so as to appeal to women?
Your question should never be asked. Not about art.
>>7942286
> What changes "should we make" to the way literature is written? How can literature be marketed so as to appeal to women?
sure.
>Your question should never be asked.
wut? why

>>7942297
Are you trolling, you fucking cunt? You quoted both options I posed; which are you assenting to? What the fuck is wrong with you? Regarding the first, do you not see a problem? It's ART, you stupid fuck. If there's anything in the world, any creative endeavor known to man, about which that question shouldn't be asked... And as for the second option, god damn it. What the fuck is your problem? How can literature be marketed differently? Are you visiting from another board? God damn it all
>>7942206
Add diverse, relatable female characters.
>>7942309
>You quoted both options I posed; which are you assenting to?

That is poetic. You are literally the Robert Frost of this subject
ITT: butthurt women who took the bait and others who're adding more bait.
That's a loaded question OP. Why do you think literature is not as accessible to "female readers" as much as "male readers"?
I'll provide solutions based on my experience. Chicks dig harry potter, erotica and romance. They also like literature written by women (specially those women who've been underprivileged).
Solution: Make a gay, black, hispanic, feminist woman write harry potter or YA erotica with themes of romance and bashing the patriarchy in that universe.
On a more serious note, >>7942313 seems like a retarded suggestion. How big an idiot does one have to be to appreciate only those books that have people of the same sex as you?
>OH LOOK THAT PERSON IS LYK ME! SO RELATABLE!!1!
We stop the misogynist, patriarchy mob that stands in front of every book store in this country.
They don't want to read. And when they do, they usually don't pick up much beyond meme fiction and pulp fiction.
>>7942245
Isn't Svidrigailov a little bit like that?
>>7942439
You know exactly what it means
>>7942206
Has anyone considered that reading books is a sort of oppression on those who don't (Specially women who don't).
When you read a book, you're asserting your privilege of being rich or fortunate enough to have received an education that allowed you to be literate. Since women who have long been suppressed by the patriarchy have been to busy in the fight against other oppressive tools, they seldom get the chance to indulge in the privilege of books.
Men often use this to exploit women by mentioning their favorite books/literature in real conversation which can trigger a woman who has interests in other things such as fighting the patriarchy. Speaking of books therefore provides means for condescension, humiliation and violation of a mental safe space in the same way as verbal rape. In fact it is literally more insidious than rape because it goes unnoticed and even oppressed women are brainwashed into believing that there is nothing wrong with reading or discussing books. So whenever you see someone discussing literature, make sure to blow your rape whistle because it is the current year and patriarchy's tools of male oppression can no longer be tolerated.
>>7944034
>patriarchy
What do you mean?
It's perfectly accestible to them.
They have their "lemonade" romance novellas and their teenage love YA.
They are a targeted demographic.(and a large one for that)
Literature is already accesible.
We just need to prevent them for feeling pride and thinking they read a lot after finishing a 600 pages long romance/love story.(This applies to everyone.Just because you have read the Hunger Games and Harry Pjotr you are not an academic who have read a lot)
>>7944034
some people really think like this.
>>7943200
>patriarchy hurts men, it stops men from expressing their feelings
>hey I feel annoyed about this
>#MasculinitySoFragile#MaleTears#ButthurtMen
it's the other way around. males don't read at all. how do you make it more accessible to male readers? put it in comic book form? add some sex/violence? write it in purple prose?
>>7944117
Feminism ask for over the top empathy without offering any. Women's selfishness will be fatal to their own interests in the end
>>7944130
so much misogyny in this thread. kill yourself.
>>7944130
I agree with you but you act like it's an ideological thing and not just their nature. Women literally can't comprehend empathy. They have some sort of reverse inside-outie empathy where they think everyone should empathise infinitely with them, but they have no actual ability to empathise with others.
Feminism being "unsympathetic to men" is a symptom of collective feminine apathy about men, because each individual woman basically sees men as clouds of abstracted worker ants who exist to make her happy. Only Woman is the center of creation. They're not being ideological, we've just allowed them to take their fundamental instinct
>don't I deserve special treatment, daddy??? :((((( *pouts*
and turn it into a fucking gestalt.
>>7942222
nice quads
>>7942206
OP I enjoy the progressive thought but women already are. They score better on reading and writing exams ubiquitously. They read more by volume. Percent of females in majors on literature related fields is very high: http://www.randalolson.com/2014/06/14/percentage-of-bachelors-degrees-conferred-to-women-by-major-1970-2012/
Sorry OP, if you want more slampieces with the same hobbies, they exist, you just don't have game.
>>7944223
>score better on writing exams
>many females are lit majors
these points have nothing to do with OP's question.
the average woman isn't a lit major.
and being a "lit major" doesn't mean your literary apprehension is maximized.
>Sorry OP, if you want more slampieces with the same hobbies, they exist, you just don't have game.
before you pat yourself on the back you should realize your response is full of baseless assumptions.
The average woman is much more literate than the average man
>>7944190

why do you see women as these apathetic, selfish creatures who are incapable of seflessness and empathy? Are you sure you're not generalizing a bit too much? Doess the rest of /lit/ feel this way too? If you said this to someone in real life you'd be called an irrational misogynist.
>>7944308
>if you voiced this opinion in real life you'd be coerced into pretending you don't have it by people who don't like hearing things they don't agree with
isn't that bad
>>7942206
Simply do euthanasia of stupid female readers so only normal and smart female readers will remain.
>>7944313
>coercion is bad
of course it is bad. i've observed that women reserve the highest contempt and disgust for people who don't seem to agree with them on these issues. I'm merely questioning the legitimacy of their claims of irrationality and misogyny. Maybe they're right. Maybe they're wrong.
>>7944190
Well I don't know about that, mfgf__is quite empathic and I think even the most vapid sluts I know are overly concerned (to the point of being obnoxious) with the safety of babies and animals, especially animals. I think it must be ideological, and that would explain why so many women refuse feminism as a political label.
>>7944308
>If you said this to someone in real life you'd be called an irrational misogynist.
That kinda proves him right
>>7942206
Do paint a book cover in a pink colour and spray the book with perfume, do a label at last page "this book help you catch a rich man".
>>7944327
I'd say that their concern for animals and babies is simply because they think they're cute. that's the extent of their thought process when it comes to animals and babies. that ideology is as vacuous as " good things are nice and bad things should not happen". moreover in my experience, men and women both have shown the same amount of concern for animal safety.
>that kinda proves him right.
maybe. I certainly am not a big fan of how anyone who dares to say anything about women in general which does not conform to the narrative is treated with disgust, contempt and generally labelled an "irrational misogynist". But is that sufficient to affirm that women in general are selfish and lack empathy? maybe they aren't. maybe they genuinely believe that that person is irrational and misogynistic?

Mostly unrelated but I read a great article about how isolation only furthers extremitism and how there should be no problem even befriending people you disagree with because of different beliefs etc etc etc

oh he didn't behead her, apparently stabbed her to death. Not sure if this case made it into english news, i read it on a swedish site.
“A seven year old girl was stabbed to death in an apartment in Upplands-Bro in northern Stockholm on 25 July this year by a 36 year old man, Daniel Gebru. Ten months earlier Gebru arrived as a welfare of migrant from Eritrea to Sweden. …
Gebru has not been able to give any concrete reasons for why he cut the throat of the seven-year girl in the bathroom of her home. He had previously been living in the apartment. What he did there on that day is unclear because according to some data he was not living there anymore. As the Court notes, however, he did live in the apartment when the murder was committed but Gebru had failed to pay rent.
Gebru has stated that he had intended to take his own life but for unknown reasons instead stabbed the girl to death.”

she got raped and killed during her trip by some muslims who picked her up.

The four men convicted of her murder were released as part of the Truth and Reconciliation process.
>>7944462
She wasn't trying to "prove that Muslims were safe and peaceful", wtf
It was some kind of feminist statement about abuse. She expected and wanted to be harassed, but she didn't anticipate being murdered

Why do women exclusively read YA books only?
And sometimes they add in(for meme/cliche purposes) shitty bronte and virginia woolf books to the mix(but never really read them).
>>7944308
it's true though, women are entirely self centered and void of empathy, loyalty and honor. those are reserved for men because women shirk them. women literally cannot mentally put themselves in a position that would make them think for a different angle/other side. women are hollow hedonistic hypergamous entities, not even human, that drift through life looking for nothing but gaining status and money.

Do you think she would have hitchhiked through the backwoods of West Virginia to promote the same message to the hurrdurr muslim haters in the largest power in the West? Fuck no.
She just figured she'd not get killed better in the place where "European descent girl in a white dress" meant more privilege in her mind. It's beautiful karma.
>>7944576
pls anon. women have a choice whether they are terrible people or not. don't excuse them being miserably vapid succubi by default; they choose to be terrible people and then pretend its because they're beyond social conditioning's help; they're not; they're just dicks.
>>7944522
Women have tiny herdthink-enslaved brains and only do anything for flitting enjoyment
When men do literally anything, their autism tendencies make them do all kinds of crazy shit, like:
>become hypercompetitive which makes them want to own everyone else by delving deeper and creating/doing better things
>become hyperobsessive which makes them pathologically fixated on improving/creating/deepening the activity somehow
>become hypercooperative and create collaborative structures that delve deeper than normal
When women do a thing, they sit around going "oh isn't this nice!" "Yes, it's nice!" "Nice!" "Quite nice!" "Rather nice!" until one of them starts bleeding from her cunt and suddenly it's a free-for-all. When men do a thing, one of them somehow grafts a rocket booster onto one of its sub-aspects while four others create a neo-corporatist putsch and conquer half of Eurasia with it and some autist in a corner discovers a new metaphysical plane of reality by splitting one of its constituent elements in half with a homemade fusion reactor. Women reading books create nothing but an equilibrium state of vampires pissing on other vampires. Give fifty men a random assortment of books and one of them will birth quantum physics and neo-Kantian epistemology from his anus eventually.
Men are great and women are fucking awful. Men are literally why this species exists. All stories and parables about humanity's indomitable curiosity are about men. Women are basically like we mistook human-like apes for actual humans. Women could 100% seriously be unconscious fucking broodmares like some kind of plant-based lifeform that just intakes sperm and shits out babies and NOTHING in history would have been changed aside from a few incidentals.

it's not social, it's biological. females are guaranteed hypergamous husks fresh from the womb. the female condition is to act on what's popular, not to think or feel.

Women present the insufferable mean of the bell curve in all aspects of life. Go talk to one and find out yourself, they're all the same personality, even.
But I was born with the infliction of wanting ass on my face for 98% of the day every day, so I have to entertain them by listening to their shitty stories, uninteresting thoughts, and do my best to make enough worthless paper trinkets for their liking.
>>7944627
no, it's not. that only happens in societies where they can successfully be dicks while also pretending they're not beings with free will. you've been duped by some chick who has trolled you into believing she's a dick because her hormones, when you're not raping her before she trolls you because of your hormones. she's not being a dick because of her hormones, she's being a dick on purpose because she can and you'll back her up it's not her fault.

females can. there's a very interesting recent case study about gendered behavior: the USSR. females there are now more archetypal golddigging, short skirt wearing, perfectionist stepford wives clones because it's a backlash to the social conditioning communism laid down. that conditioning wasn't wholly egalitarian even, but it proves it can be done. there's a good book on ways this phenomenon can be observed called Living Gender after Communism. saying they can't overcome their programming is like saying you wouldn't overcome your programming if the KGB asked. i'd pay to watch that if you're the guy i'm meant to be working out a prenup with.

Aside from the fact that you're way misguided and triggerable, men do score higher on IQ tests. But I think that's entirely besides the point.

that picture. does it imply that women are more likely to have sex with and raise children with rich men? While at the same time compromising that goal if they themselves are rich?
That's quite convenient I suppose. IF you're poor, just find a rich man and get pregnant and live off his income or alimony or child support. If you're rich then who gives a shit. The important lesson is to only fuck rich men?
