Why are moids unable to read a book? Are they stupid?

>>24569673 (OP)
No. We just have better things to do like create the society in which you live so you can do performative activism for social media.

Something like 85%+ of the publishing industry are women (and like 80% of those women are white)
When man ran publishing they turned reading from a male activity to one generally considered unisex, and finally one that was female focused. They also provided the keys to the industry and hired women at such high rates that it's now almost exclusively women running the show.

When women run the publishing industry it becomes ever more niche until basically the only people left buying books are upper middle class NPR listeners and smut fanatics because they won't allow books for anyone else to be published often flat out (illegally) denying men from even submitting manuscripts.

I wonder if this phenomenon of men welcoming women and then being backstabbed by them can be found in any other aspects of modern society.

Yes, it's a problem. And you made this thread already, what else do you want to discuss? Or is your purpose to sow discord and despair?

>>24569676
cringe. you know this is /lit/, right?

>>24569727
That's like the tenth thread about this article

>>24569673 (OP)
I'll be honest, I dont think men read as much as people think they did.

I dont like this gesture of observing how men are leaving the literature indsustry, as if we were under women mercy and forgiveness while in reality its the men who are holding everything up to this day, and the reason why women are still alive and well is because there are some leftover boomers and genx who lived with this hopium in their chest. By the time other generation take over this entire matter it will be over for them.

>For the first meeting of his book club for men, Yahdon Israel, a 35-year-old senior editor at Simon & Schuster, asked the participants to bring a favorite work of fiction. Not everyone completed the assignment.
>One man brought “Watchmen,” a graphic novel. Valid, technically.
>Another scoured his home bookshelf and realized he did not own a single novel or short story collection. So he showed up to the meeting with a nonfiction book about emotional intelligence. (Mr. Israel posted a photo of the seven millenial-ish men in the group, each holding his selection, to his Instagram account.)
Picrel is a photo of Mr Israel's book club from the article...

>>24569767
Yes, anon, we get it. Go look up previous threads on this article in the archive if you wanna read through discussions on it so badly.

>>24569787
How about you gtfo of threads you don't like being in

>>24569673 (OP)
Reading is for women and faggots. Most moids have the attention span of a flea and can only engage in media with cool images like the Hungry Caterpillar.

>>24569826
How about you post an original thought to inspire some discussion on this well trodden article? Instead of low effort ragebaiting and (you)farming.

>>24569673 (OP)
I cant get a job.

>>24569715
So its like the same with Jews and jeets alike. Hmmm my pattern noticing autism is going off.

>>24569722
I sincerely believe their right to vote was simply due to women withholding sex until they got the right. Take away their bodily autonomy and everything goes back to normal. Funny how that works out.

>>24569727
Of course I do. I also don't care about being well liked around a bunch of 25 year old careerist academics either. I'm 43 years old and have actually done manual labor which your soft hands are incapable of doing. Keeping seething, sissy.

>>24569875
That photo isn't ragebait, it's an interesting bit of information that contextualizes the article

>>24569907
If you don't read, why are you here, troglodyte?

I read stuff from way back, mostly scifi, from people like myself. They wouldn't get published anymore so why bother reading anything new.

>>24569911
To specifically farm (you)s
Thanks for another one.

>>24569907
How are the kids doing?

>>24569928
oh god, I've fallen for your ruse, a part of my soul has been transferred to you for all time, noooo---

>>24569929
Pretty good I'm homeschooling every single one so academics don't poison their minds.

>>24569933
Hopefully you're including lots of literature and art in your education plan. Music too.

yeah. who knows why things are the way they are.

Too busy watching disgusting porn with teenagers on their phones. 99.9% of moids are so pornsick that they cannot walk down the street without thinking of rape, let alone finish a book.

>>24570152
Imagine being so unattractive that you feel threatened by images and gifs of other women.
Embrassing

moids is such a stupid fucking forced meme of a word.

>>24570058
Yeah and I hope one of them rapes you, God willing.

>>24570030
Sure and next you're gonna tell me the Union were the good guys in the civil war. I'm gonna need to see some breasts to verify.

>>24570239
a bunch of rich wives wanted their husbands to have more slaves and they repackaged it as empowerment. lmao

>>24569673 (OP)
Write better books

>>24570196
Don't take it away from them. They need it. It expresses a real need to hate men, for being coomers and so on. I try to give the radfems "space" to form their own /r9k/ equivalent, since I know how helpful it was for me to have /r9k/ during trying times in my life.

Maybe in a few years it'll produce interesting culture like /r9k/ did. I've seen a few actually funny send-ups of men come out of those circles.

>>24570252
I dunno getting my dick sucked is pretty damn important

>>24570244
Still waiting

why are /lit/ zoomies unable to ignore bait, are they stupid?

>>24570261
People my age are becoming grandparents sometimes

>>24570252
"they" have been hating men for over a hundred years and nothing good has come of it.

Stupidity should be made fun of and belittled, not left alone.

>>24569863
>Reading is for women and faggots
Because modern lit is crypto-pornography for women and faggots.
Do you think any normal man wants to read from the 1sr person perspective about a hero fantasizing about violent men with abs who turn the hero into their slave?
That's why men aren't reading books. Contemporary literature is so cunt centric you have to be a faggot to enjoy it.

>>24570239
You'll have to touch your kids first

>>24570290
>a hero fantasizing about violent men with abs who turn the hero into their slave
This sounds like a random Greek mythology tale.

>>24570152
The reason women took over reading is because they prefer literary porn. It's not a man/woman problem, it's a gooner problem.

>>24569673 (OP)
>Are they stupid?
Increasingly, yes.

Same for the english-speaking side of internet vs other parts, you can see the same pattern of rampant nagging and moralizing

Riding the bus in Portland, I probably only see another guy reading a book besides me every few days. There's always at least one girl reading a book though, and usually 2-3.

>increasing women presence in literature
>book quality nosedive. no great work is ever written anymore. everything is dumbed down to appease women
>books revolve around female aimed porn, self help, inane ya and woke topics
>author's skin color matters more than what they write
I wonder.

>>24569676
What have you done, personally, to improve the society you currently live in?

NTA, but I am kind to others, have donated to charity and always share what I know with others, and you, anon? ;)
