Why we need more male authors - literature is no longer hip

Writing is for sure getting worse. I don’t trust anything that’s been published since 2015 unless it’s an author I’m already familiar with.

Good news ebooks are easily

and books are astronomically expensive in RSA these days,

It's not new, there's always been soyslop for the masses, it's just that now what the "average reader" (ie a foid) wants is empowered female characters, smut, and men being called pigs. Look at how bad 95% of serials were in the 20s, or books by unknown authors in the 1800s. We retroactively praise past authors because we are looking at them through their best forms. Not every writer was Lovecraft, Peepeeens, Shakespeare, and Homer, most are and were George Charles Wallis, Jacob Abbott, Francis Beaumont or Eumelus of Corinth.

I also find modern women writers to be appealling, especially their male characters. It's like the inverse of /r/MenWritingWomen, where we are aware men have been writing women badly for many decades and are calling it out, but there appears to be little conscience in modern international society to pressure womankind to up their game when writing from the male perspective.

One thing I can't help nooticing is how little womyn understand men.

I don't know how to put it in words even, it's all so fricking flat.

I think the problem is some women see male characters as these blank slates that they can do whatever with and not have to worry about any complexities because they have no "inherent struggles" and don't come with baggage like minorities (anyone not a white straight male) do

When Robert Jordan of Wheel of Time wrote women, he was honestly very boomerish sometimes, in his world of battle of the sexes, where men are all from Mars and Women are all from Venus; but there was an absolute sincerity. He made clear patterns of tremendous effort to write from the female perspective, to see flawed and inspiring women organically interact with each other and their male peers.

Robert Jordans writing of women and relationships should be considered a war crime. It's so fricking awful I have no idea how anyone manages to slog through his obnoxious, shitty books.

I gave up on them entirely due to how shit he was at writing women and women interacting with men along with his weird butt fascination with braid tugging.

Fun fact: Ursula Le Guin was friends with benefits with fellow author Harlan Ellison. She may also have had an affair with Michael Moorpeepee.

look im gunna have 2 ask u 2 keep ur giant dumps in the potty not in my replys 😷😷😷

You should buy an e reader and get ebooks from libgen if you're pressed for cash

Bro no homo but do you want my list of favorite 40k books

I read a lot for my degree, and most books I read to tune out are slop, for pure entertainment value. But not nuslop like shit passed through sensitivity readers with mentally ill screeds and self inserts by bipoc xe/xir queer tranxisters, which seems to be pushed hard in modern literature.

LHoD has the fellas trekking through ice fields on a foreign planet in pursuit of a goal, that's probably it. Men being busy is fascism to radlibs.

Fiscally Left Socially Right

Nonfiction = Fiction Fiction = Nonfiction

It’s also basically unreadable even though it’s mercifully short. The author constantly overuses adjectives to describe women, every sentence is like “the blond tall woman walked over to the short skinny brunette woman, who was sitting next to the muscular blond short woman”. There’s a ton of basic grammatical errors too, and the graphic scenes of violence (of which there are many) are remarkably poorly written, as if the author was writing with one hand for some reason.
