Explain this, /pol/.

I actually enjoy watching women tear themselves apart in my office.

Never heard of Castle of Otranto is it any good?

Needs updating
Books written by women now are fuck novels involving women having affairs with swamp creatures and the abominable snowman

Read one of Jane Austen's books once. I rather be flayed alive rather than do that again.

Virginia Woolf sucks cock too. What a mundane uppity cunt.

There’s lots of good books written by women. Harry Potter, hunger games

Literary classics men read and recited to each other before mundane literature became popular.
>Mingled and marvellous grows the fray,
>And in Roland's heart is no dismay.
>He fought with lance while his good lance stood;
>Fifteen encounters have strained its wood.
>At the last it brake; then he grasped in hand
>His Durindana, his naked brand.
>He smote Chernubles' helm upon,
>Where, in the centre, carbuncles shone:
>Down through his coif and his fell of hair,
>Betwixt his eyes came the falchion bare,
>Down through his plated harness fine,
>Down through the Saracen's chest and chine,
>Down through the saddle with gold inlaid,
>Till sank in the living horse the blade,
>Severed the spine where no joint was found,
>And horse and rider lay dead on ground
Now let's give an example of a literary classic that men are supposed to read and enjoy nowadays. Considered a great classic of world literature, taught in every university. Written by a woman, of course
>Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.
>She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father; and had, in consequence of her sister’s marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses; and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection.
The novel was a fucking mistake.

Cherry picked nonsense to confirm prejudice. Hope this helps, fellow Nige.

Here's a "literary classic" written by a woman
>I was supposed to be the envy of thousands of other college girls just like me all over America who wanted nothing more than to be tripping about in those same size seven patent leather shoes I'd bought in Bloomingdale's one lunch hour with a black patent leather belt and black patent leather pocket-book to match. And when my picture came out in the magazine the twelve of us were working on—drinking martinis in a skimpy, imitation silver-lamé bodice stuck on to a big, fat cloud of white tulle, on some Starlight Roof, in the company of several anonymous young men with all-American bone structures hired or loaned for the occasion—everybody would think I must be having a real whirl.
And here's a forgotten text written by a man
>But as they left the dark’ning heath,
>More desperate grew the strife of death.
>The English shafts in volleys hailed,
>In headlong charge their horse assailed;
>Front, flank, and rear, the squadrons sweep
>To break the Scottish circle deep,
>That fought around their king.
>But yet, though thick the shafts as snow,
>Though charging knights like whirlwinds go,
>Though billmen ply the ghastly blow,
>Unbroken was the ring;
>The stubborn spearmen still made good
>Their dark impenetrable wood,
>Each stepping where his comrade stood,
>The instant that he fell.
>No thought was there of dastard flight;
>Linked in the serried phalanx tight,
>Groom fought like noble, squire like knight,
>As fearlessly and well;
>Till utter darkness closed her wing
>O’er their thin host and wounded king.
>Then skilful Surrey’s sage commands
>Led back from strife his shattered bands;
>And from the charge they drew,
>As mountain-waves, from wasted lands,
>Sweep back to ocean blue.
If you are a man and you'd rather read the former than the latter then you're basically a tranny

Robert Browning had the clap and he caught it from Charlotte and Emily Bronte.
You don't want to hear the truth. He caught it from both of them.

>books written by men are vapid escapism, zero substance action flicks
>books written by women explore what it means to be human in a society or something
Men are dumb. Is this news to you? lmao

>>508797274
T. B. F. few men are worth reading either. Also poetry is the stuff of faggotry as Plato once said I believe.

>>508797397
Romances are the ur form of literature and are the only form of literature that should matter (By romance i refer to the old meaning of romance not the modern love story)
By your feminine standards the illiad is "valid escapism, zero substance action flicks"
I have no interest in reading about the mundane, trite tribulations of middle class women. No thanks.

>>508797397
Man literature explore worlds, woman literature only explore themselves.

>>508796590 (OP)
the bronte girls are alright.

>>508796590 (OP)
I tried to read Ivanhoe, very boring. But novels about Scotland, covenanters and jacobites are interesting. But I guess I like this era more than the Middle Ages
