Siri is so right! Speaking as the one remaining man in a book group of women, I have seen this to be true. I loved her 'The Blazing World' and I'm enjoying 'A Woman looking at Men looking at Women'. Gents, you've got to take this on board.
Not many men I know would be interested in a book called "A Woman looking at Men looking at Women," but you should not ridicule Andrew Kemp for his taste. "A Man looking at Women looking at Men" does not sound appealing either.
I don't like ideology but I support ideology of feminism ......is this ideology not reducing complicated things ....?????????? contradictory views by writer.....
She was doing well until she started chatting simplistic political shit about men. How dare she assume to know what goes on in the minds of men she doesn’t know?
I can´t agree with the second point. I read several women´s books. didn´t feel emasculated. In the future I might, now that I heard that and bec radical feminism is starting to show its ugly medusa face. - don´t play on their team, Siri....
I don't think she's wrong but I think her terminology could use some renovation. Emasculation is a fraught word and to me frankly an insulting one, positioning men as if the worst they can suffer is to lose their primary sex characteristics. What is more interesring to me, and where I believe she is gesturing, is that for men to surrender themselves to the voices of women, they risk intimately knowing the pain of women and of feeling that insight as an injunction. It is, however hard that encounter is, an opportunity and a gift though. I don't have high expectations for this comment however considering your "medusa" insult. (perhaps consider the connotations btw of this insult: in most tellings Medusa's monstrosity is her punishment by one god for being raped by another. Hardly an intelligent insult for someone you deem irrational or out of proportion).
Dyodi Dyodi Is their any evidence for her argument that men don't read women's novels? And your interpretation of what she said is yours, not necessarily what she actually said. She actually used the word "authority". And many men here have commented here that such division is nonsensical and devisive.

Fuck off Andy you mangina!

Did you get that at the "Women and Women First" bookstore, Andrew Kemp?
coreycox2345 No, hopefully men wouldn't be interested in such divisive books. But most women, thankfully, do not write such books.
She mentioned “ashiprop”, what does it mean?
The New Criticism made a lot of these points more than half a century ago!
Hi, Siri. Wanna possess me? Tomorrow I'll be looking for you in the bookstore.
Perhaps what she says about men had some basis in reality fifty years ago, but it is spurious projection of her own psychological fears.
I don't know. I don't mind reading women writers in non-fictions, but I tend to avoid them in fiction. I always feel that I won't relate to them
she says some interesting things
2:01 *rolls eyes*.
