Well that might be true from your perspective, but from my perspective women do read the classics, at least all the women that read that I know. However, I don't know many males that read books and the ones that do, mostly read things like genre fiction, of the kind that is full of action and thrill. So my question goes back at you. How do we get men to read the classics?!

You'll realize that status won't help much if you're an autistic ugly beta. Look at the people in your class, the ones who are 5+ can use their MD status to fuck girls, but those below will still be struggling. Shit's rough mang.

What's the point of making women, or people in general, read things? Whatever value one can get from reading this poem will go completely over the heads of people who will be reading it because they're "supposed to". For example, War and Peace is one of my favourite novel. I read it on my own and was very moved by it. I talked about to my (Russian) dad and all he had to say about it after being forced to read it in high school is that it's a boring irrelevant book about rich people that has no relevance today. If normalfags had any appetite for things like the Iliad they would pick it up and read it themselves. Truth is most people are bugs with micro-souls that will never understand literature even if they're pressured to read it.

On the contrary. Before I knew women well, I was optimistic about their potential presence in my life - I viewed them as equals in most ways. It's only after having several romantic relationships with women and working with several in my office that I have come to realise how wrong I was. Out of the few dozen women I have known on some level, I have only respected a couple, because for the most part they are hyper-emotional, vindictive, unreasonable, irrational, back-stabbing attention seekers. But I can't blame them, it's in their nature. Although they certainly have no place occupying high positions in society, and I think the job women are doing as politicians and CEOs worldwide proves that.
