Yeah, you're right, anon, Virginia Woolf really is underappreciated. That slag, pictured, of a "writer" of "philosophy" which is thinly-veiled bootlicking is shite though

Great point, anon, Emily Dickinson's talents truly do belong among the greats and her work is immortal.

>Women have often more of what is called good sense then men. They have fewer pretensions; are less implicated in theories; and judge of objects more from their immediate and involuntary impression on the mind, and, therefore, more truly and naturally. They cannot reason wrong; for they do not reason at all. They do not think or speak by rule; and they have in general more eloquence and wit, as well as sense, on that account. By their wit, sense and eloquence together, they generally contrive to govern their husbands. Their style, when they write to their friends (not for the booksellers), is better than that of most authors.

'On the Ignorance of the Learned.' By William Hazlitt (1822)

I've very recently but gradually grown to hate women. I'm disgusted by them. Every girlfriend I've had is shit. They're fucking crazy, spiteful, vindictive, and hateful. I just want to beat the shit out of them every time they speak.
