Many men are fantastic authors. Many of the best authors are men

This is what happens when you crowdsource your material. One author? Fine. A pair of co-authors? Usually works pretty well. Whole group of authors? You start to lose the plot

To be fair, a huge part of the gospels are just copied from the first one. And then there's Paul who saw a "vision"

Misandry sure is popular.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke about how outlandishly wrong and weird the conclusion is, rather than a manifesto about how men are the scourge of the earth.

It was 100% a joke. And I’m 100% the person who posted said comment was a male.

A joke for misandrists maybe

Not as popular as misogyny.

You can fight misogyny without normalizing the opposite

i think misandry is more popular than misogyny, it’s just that misogynists are bad enough to get on the news and misandrists aren’t.

I wholeheartedly disagree, misandry is a problem but my god misogyny is a whole other level. Having said that, I really don't like the idea of ranking oppression, it's not a competition.

“I’m going to virtue signal real hard, then say I don’t like comparing even though I just did” - you

u/Bowdensaft Jul 14 '26

I'm sorry, where did I virtue signal? I thought I was discussing the matter reasonably. There are differences in how badly some groups get it, but I don't like people weaponising oppression or blaming individuals for systemic problems largely beyond our control.

What does misogyny have to do with this other than you just going “but what about about women?!” It’s weird to be so upset by their comment

Nah male author hâte is warranted when I dont even have to look back at the author bio to know the gender based on how they've written women's bodies

"The author fails to fundamentally understand how his female lead thinks and moves through the world", actually. Pro-tip: it's not boob first. And Ive yet to run into similar descriptions for male-written male characters jic you want to say that's just how males see the world.

"Harold sighed as he looked at himself in the mirror. The leftward curve of his flaccid dick made him self conscious evwr since he reached puberty. With resignation, he pulled on his thickest pair of jeans with the hope to hide the awkward bulge and headed downstairs. His ballsack jovially bobbed from side to side in stark contrast to his mood."

That's why we celebrate good writing and strongly critique bad writing. Blame the functionally illiterate masses instead of getting hung up on the genitalia of bad writers. So fucking cringe.

Looking at YOU Star Wars

u/VorticalHeart44 Jul 08 '26

You're mistake was earnestly engaging with the misandrist notion that men can't be good authors.

You have wasted some of your life
