what would happen if I write a book gathering evidence from science, history and philosophy that males are naturally stronger and smarter and they are superior and is the natural order for males to control the world and is the natural order for them to control women and that the natural place for women to be is the kichen and raising the children

It's frustrating. People don't even pretend to have interests.

I think I'm going to study social epistemology from now on. Just to broaden my analytic exegesis of Derrida's post-structuralism. But then again, I don't expect you to understand.

I understand that you're a square mother fucker who's at least 30 years behind.

Kek my sister loved this book when she was 13. She read other books in the series. One was a girl who got raped and died of aids and another one was about a girl and her teacher in a sexual relationship. She threw them all out once she found out they were all fake though.

Inoffensive genre trash, meant to be read whilst taking a shit, just like every other fantasy novel. It never ceases to amuse me when people who would stoop to read this act snooty about it.

uncyclopedia is newfag garbage
>>
seems to me that most of these jokes are funny but only engage with the philosophies on a superficial level. I think it's possible to both be funny & to engage with things on a deep level and I don't think that's what's happening on this page.
In fact I think 99% of literary and philosophical humor is premised on shit that you learn in a survey class. The real laughs are the stuff that gets into the grit, if you want to really joke about the text, you have to live in it. Put another way, if you can't joke about the little things, you never really read it.

Don't know why but this was the first thing that came to mind.
If I like Charlie Kaufman (especially Synecdoche, New York), what books or authors will I like?

There's a place I long to be,
a certain board that's dear to me.
Home to reader and plebs, it's called /lit/.
I post there and I'll talk there
my first home, I hope to stay there
Have some taste or at least try there.
Sweet /lit/.
And when I'm buried and I'm dead.
Upstate trolls will steal my taste.
For every anon that you know
once the thread dies and goes
Think you'll see them, well no.
You won't see them again.
But there's always a last time that you see everyone.
There's always a never again.

the Naked Lunch film was kind of like a Charlie Kaufman movie in some ways
I've never read Burroughs, but just a suggestion

You sound like you'd dig Pynchon (I'm 100% serious)

is is a verb in case you were unaware
Time in Porcelain
The death far away is silent
The death far away is short
A blue sky looks down at me
What earthly affair could break my green reverie?
What end of life could ever make me want some more?
If your favorite day stalks then the gray is at a core
If your next trip shoots then one thinks into four
Lines of paper await to be inked
Several books of eternity lie in the eye of a blink
Took me away did the city did say to another
Vale of trees, flowers, and white do wait for two brothers
Stay free away to see drink water as cold as ice to hold back feelings like rubber
I do know the light is my lover

It's hard to read because your rhyme scheme is nonexistent; also, some of the writing seems rushed (eye of a blink? Okay concept but when you think about it... does not connect).
Overall, just seems a lil disjointed and without central premise to me. Keep trying though. also, put it in the poetry critique thread, wtf you doin

Does the domination of the literary world by women completely indicate the death of the medium's artistic and intellectual potential? Yes, in my opinion.

Yes. Women cannot make or understand art.

It hasn't happened, won't happen, and wouldn't indicate any such thing. Go to sleep.
