Unironocally they misread it as "Tiffany Jest" and think it's gonna be a bitchy gossip memoir only to be confronted with pure unadulterated autism on page 1.

I've read feminists call books like these "dick lit". They think big, complex books are a way for men to have dick-measuring contests. I interpret this as envy at the fact that only men are able to produce books like Infinite Jest, Gravity's Rainbow, The Recognitions, Women and Men, Ulysses etc.

women view themselves as the bar of sensibility, and everything they don't immediately grasp as inherently designed to make them, in particular, feel inferior and for no other purpose

few actually dislike the book, it's the idea of a kind of guy who (presumably) reads infinite jest

it deals with the ugly aspects of being a man that we should probably stop telling women all about! they just don’t get it bros, because… they’re not men! it wasn’t written for them and that’s ok!
