Is writing books the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than writing a book. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are thinking, agonizing, planning and rewriting for perhaps many years or even decades solely so your book can get read by other men. All the hard work you put into your magnum opus, or your beautiful little novella - noting down ideas at night, constantly going over the tiniest details, making sure you don't make any errors, educating yourself on various topics, tearing out pages. All of it has one simple result: the book is more enjoyable to all the men that will eventually read it.

Wrote the perfect book? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random man who had nothing to do with the way it came about, who just buys it. He gets to flip through her pages every night. He gets all the benefits of your painstakingly crafted prose, your meticulously developed pacing, inspired ideas, character development and much more.

As a writer, you are LITERALLY dedicating years of your life simply to write a book for another men to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically

Is having a job the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think of anything more cucked than working a job. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are thinking, agonizing, planning and working for perhaps many years or even decades solely so that your work can be appreciated by other men...

why is the assumption that books can only be read by one gender

if you write a book that's actually good, it could serve as like your romantic cover letter that guarantees you access to any woman's legs who reads and likes it

a book is like the ultimate peacock feathers

while you go about trying to convince women to trust you one date at a time, i'm going to write my opus and convince ten million women in one fell swoop

pray your future wife never reads my work

Then why do you bother with the "craft" part of it at all? Why not just vomit some verbal schizo diarrhea?
Face it, as you're writing you are judging. Trying to come up with something readable, trying to communicate. If you're unaware of this, you are just doing it subconsciously. You're not awake yet.
