annoy men 
?!?!
I hate to say this, but a lot of men don't actually like women. They like what they can get from them. They don't want anything from “ugly” women, therefore they're worthless to them.
I really recommend the book The Tragedy of Heterosexuality by Jane Ward (I haven't read it, just heard her talk about it on a podcast). It's about how heterosexual men are, for the most part not committed to women. They are only interested in them as long as they serve their needs. They are committed to a woman but are not committed to the plight of women (plural) more generally. They like one woman, but they don't actually like women™️. The author says that in contrast, lesbian women are fully committed to women in them succeeding in every way in their lives, and if you want to have s*x with a woman you have to be committed to this woman in every capacity not just frick her, which is how it is for a lot of men.
That explains a lot, I could never understand why my DH didn't seem to care much about women's issues despite having daughters
What does DH mean?
Dear husband

So we pretending all the scrotes that tell me to read Infinite Jest actually read it?
!bookworms what's the etiquette on suggesting shit you never tried yourself? For example, I know there are some people who really should be on meth, because they just seem the type. Similarly, there's a bunch of dudes who I can tell would love Cormac McCarthy even though I never read any of his books.

I hear about books from reasonable people, skim through some, remember their topics, and recommend on that basis.
For example, for you I'd recommend How To Stop Being an Annoying Whore.

95% of book discussion is between people who don't read. By mentioning that you haven't read it, you're already being far more polite.
U gotta be like "I think you may like this book I've heard about "

It's like how 99% of the time someone writes "Marx says that..." they haven't read one word of Marx.

I've argued with r-slurs about Heinlein's Starship troopers so many times, and in 95% of the cases it's obvious that the other person hasn't read it, and his only info about it comes from the movie and r-slurs on reddit calling it fascist.

I find it extremely funny how reading Cormac McCarthy has become this symbol of masculinity. It makes no sense because literature is inherently feminine. Real men can't read.

Don't suggest shit you haven't read. That seems pretty
easy.
The only books
I am legally allowed to recommend are wheel of time, Harry 
Potter 
and green 
eggs and ham.

Whenever I read a book I find myself disliking, I always make sure to read it all the way through so I can speak with authority when I tell people it's shit.

Take a look at https://www.amazon.com/Talk-About-Books-Havent-Read/dp/1596915439. "How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read" is an incredible, well-written book that elucidates the semiotics of talking about and recommending books you haven't read, and the author is a brilliant, witty writer. It's one of the best things you'll ever read.
Disclaimer: I've not read this book, or even a blurb about it. I have no idea what it's even about aside from the title.

I would never recommend a book I hadn't read myself. Why would you do this? AND ADMIT TO IT?

If Heterosexuality is tragedy for women, homosexuality is absolutely catastrophic for them. Lesbians have higher divorce rates, dead bedroom rates, and rates of domestic violence compared to heterosexual women.
