He doesn't know what the feminine mystique is lol

Jesus Christ

Is the complete lack of great writing or great output of any medium also part of their mystique?

This is why I despise Westerners/"Whites". The disgusting belief that the "feminine" holds intrinsic value in itself. Liberalism is a false inversion of True Leftism.

I see you havent read anything by him. If anything he writes post-colonial fiction, and almost all of the terrible shit that happens in his books is black on black, or rather, Jamaican on Jamaican. Even in his one book about Jamaican slavery, its black slaves raping white women and murdering their families.

I understand your point regarding black authors (I was particularly disappointed in The Sellout as well as all of the Afro-American go-tos and Morrison) but you just come off as ignorant in this case.

>I see you havent read anything by him
"The Book of Night Women is a 2009 novel by Jamaican author Marlon James. The story follows Lilith, a young woman born into slavery, who challenges the boundaries of what is expected of her. Lilith is a beautiful young woman born during the 18th century on a Jamaican sugar plantation. Orphaned from birth, she quickly learns that life as a slave can be frequently brutal and unkind."

Ah, yes - finally a breath of fresh air from a black author breaking new ground and tackling content one normally wouldn't see handled by a black author.
>>8912486
Blacks can't criticize anyone for monotony in theme or subject when literally all they write about is a race-related pity party.

>>8912490
Yeah I read that too. I doubt you did.

Lilith is a fucking witch. She murders every one of her masters and participates in a slave uprising which she betrays to save her white taskmaster/mothers rapist/father. Meanwhile she plays game of thrones amongst the house niggers. The death count is like 600 in that book. A heavyhanded morality play against slavery it isnt.

>>8912503
literally a witch by the way. she casts spells on her enemies in different slave covens. Its his best book. Also in his other two books, there are barely any white people to speak of

>>8912490
Read some Marlon James beyond fucking wikipedia summaries and get back to us, faggot

>>8911867
Now I'm not a gynocentrist or a misogynist, as I believe in meritocracy and freedom of self actualization(something I think each individual regardless of gender may do differently), however, isn't feminine inherent worth a chauvinism thing? It's sexists usually spouting: "women need only to 'be' to have value since they can have children. Men on the other hand must 'do' to be valued." Or are you talking about traits/mindset specifically? I'm not sure there is an completely inherent mindset to gender though.

>>8912354
Why did the idea that the individual is unique become synonymous with juvenile rebellion? You have to be retarded to deny that humans are a profundity.

Marlon, who do you think reads books? Because it's definitely not black people.

I kind of appreciate Greens comments here. Atleast he doesn't just call DFW a mysoginist or something retarded.

>>8914214
While I have no doubt that blacks consume pleb entertainment, that is woefully out of date.
