And? How many books of female writers are on your shelf?

[Anonymous No.13854822]

Imagine that some of these women are going to be mothers some day. Imagine your mother, your actual mother, and then imagine finding out she casually let random dudes fuck her. Jesus christ. Imagine you have a daughter and she becomes a girl who uses "dating apps."

if your mom is like that, then you're probably going to be an unbaptized faggot who has no concept of morality anyway, so why would you care? they will inevitably raise their children to value casual sex. their children will look up to them. your children will be "weird." you know how there was that one kid whose parents didn't let hi watch tv? in ten years, that kid will be the kid whose parents don't let him have sex with an adult man on a regular basis. "what, your parents don't let you get fucked in the ass? what are you weird?"

Cool to see a woman writing about stuff like PSTD and using Joyce's SoC technique, but I don't see myself re-reading this book any soon.

I'm not a MGTOW faggot who's going to turn a good book away because it was written by a woman. Elaine Pagels, Simone Weil, and Hannah Arendt are great thinkers. Virginia Woolf was a great novelist. I just read what's good and canon and don't go out of my way to read X number of women.

[Anonymous No.13855011]

this is the only book i have bought written by a woman in recent memory

however, the fact that the author is a woman has no bearing on the work itself. purchased purely on her merit as a historical writer

[Anonymous No.13855020]

Why is she critical of people who dont read anything recent? I can see the logic of a woman wanting people to read women but who cares about when it was written?

Don't get memed by women. The only things that turns them off are physical characteristics that imply low testosterone. Chad could be reading nothing but Virgil and Plato and they would fawn over him for being educated and cultured.

women don't give a shit what you read. they might get turned off if you act like an autist about literature

Whenever I'm asked this I just list out history and theology books I'm reading and the girl looks like a fish out of water. I can tell they've taken a few literature classes and think themselves as experts because they've gotten through the meme lists, so when they believe they have the upper hand in that domain I'll casually drop in knowledge on the books they're reading so they know I've been through them and deem it as secondary importance. I'm petty but it's fun

Avoid general history, no "the story of humans since Sumar" type shit or anything trying to front a thesis that pertains to contemporary issues. NOTHING WRITTEN BY JOURNALIST. The mindset of one is the absolute worst when it comes to historical study, also avoid cringe autistic "categorizations of civilizations" trash like Spengler. Find your interests and from there try to get as specific as possible. You're an accountant who likes Persian miniatures? Economy of the safavids. Read ontology and want to visit Machu Picchu? Metaphysics of Incan religion. Enjoy settings of carnage, misery, and chaos among advanced urban populations with early firearms? Thirty years war. Pre med from a southern European City? Italian medieval medical practices. Give me an interest and I'll suggest some books. I specialize in early modern me and Mediterranean history but I'll do the best I can

No not me, I'm actually completely burnt out with classical Greece and imperial Rome. Too much reading as a teen and the aesthetics are overdone
