women can seem nasty, and sometimes they're it's too easy for them hurt... but they're just looking for the best possible outcome for themselves, and that is selfish in that nature, but they want quality offspring

nah, women don't have the same self-introspection skills as men, they struggle to be honest with themselves

these things came as a defensive response to increasingly isolated males

men can be -content- with being alone, and mediums such as porn and video games is really enough to keep them living... females literally cannot function without attention and feeling wanted

Why do people keep making these threads. If you really hated Rupi Kaur that much then you wouldn't put her work on this literature board lmao makes you look like an incel hoping for an echo chamber. This board is not meant to be your safe space you insecure waste of carbon go back to /pol/

Why not as mostly men on this board don't we bring up stupid shit men have written and wonder what it means about women? Like that cigarette typewriter dude. He's worse than Kaur but no one ever makes fun of him here.

Only sort of true. There is no universal, remember, so some people are okay. Maybe not you but let's be honest if you have internet access the likelihood is also that you have access to programs that will help you finish your novel and you're probably not starving. So. Yah know. Good things happen too.

The value of the book, in this case, would be to act as an article of self reflection. Why do the women you know love it? And why do you hate it? Consider without automatically lashing out at the book and the women.

Went to bookstore and read it there without paying for it. It unironically reads like r9k post, one of bigger "redpills" you could read, so just go there. If majority of women sympathise with this shit, and see themselves in it, then they truly are shit and not worth it.

Meme book for men is Meditations.
