What is the general female reaction to the works of Bukowski?

>>9121207
girls like bukowski

>>9121231
I second this.

I've known a few girls who really liked Bukowski.

All the high school girls I fucked had only really read Vonnegut, Bukowski, Murakami and a couple others.

Teach me senpai.

did they say anything about the books? it's portrayal of women?

>>9121207
I met a girl who liked and could quote him. She cancelled on me because she was getting drunk the night before. I was offended and broke contact.
Maybe she was scared because she had a boyfriend and we'd gotten on so well as friends. Maybe she didn't like me.

>>9121207
All of his work pertains to the sort of vulnerable, over sharing, emotional wreck of a person that most womyn "interested" in le arts are

>tfw i'm all 3 of those things

>>9121808
Why do people write 'womyn' when they're talking about women they don't like? What does it mean?

>>9121833
Implies hairy armpits, bra burning and noisy entitlement.

>>9121833
It's a word invented by feminists who didn't like that the word "woman" has "man" in it. I'm not joking look it up.

>>9121841
Why do nonfeminists use it then?

>>9121858
In jest

I had a history teacher who loved him. She was always talking about it outside class. I also have a friend who very much likes his writings.

>>9121808
tho he treats them like crap

>>9122125
That just shows how misunderstood he is you mysognynist

I have a female friend who wants to get a tattoo of him. She told me that Bukowski isn't for me, that I wouldn't understand him. So I guess they like him

>>9122139
how's that?

I've run into a few female Henry Miller fans too.
Yet most lit women I've talked with hate Kerouac and Hemingway, while Miller and Bukowski get a pass for their misogyny for some reason

women love bukowski

>>9122206
Kerouac and Hemingway were (semi-)closeted fags who actually hated women and worshipped masculinity while Miller and Bukowski actually loved women.

We're too patrician.
Bukowski is a meme-writer, truly. Everything about him is a cliché. "I'm such a brute, manly man - fuck yeah!", "such an American!", "I only drink my liquor raw and I drink lots of it LOL".

Why are all Americans cartoons?

I liked him when I was a teenager, then I found better shit to read. It's at least 50% a cult of personality and fun liking something disgusting/easy to read with easy to buy into "life wisdom".
>>9122244
in Bukowski's own words he hated everyone but found women less terrible than men, all four are still misogynists which doesn't mean their work is valueless, but it is a fact

>>9122266
I don't think you understand bukowski, if you ever actually read him at all.

>>9121841
The funny thing about whole "womyn" thing is that if you look up the origins of "woman" it has nothing to do with men.

>>9122367
Well that's... just wrong.
Woman comes from "wife of man"

"Man" used to be gender-neutral and had a prefix to indicate maleness long ago.

Maybe you're thinking of male/female, where people perceive female as being an afterthought to the word male, but it's the other way around

>50%
100% more like

>>9121207
I've never met any girls who liked him. We got assigned one of his books in class and a bunch of girls got butthurt because muh soggy knees. I don't talk to many people though tbf

Literally every woman even cursorily interested in literature I've ever met loved Bukowski.

>>9121207
literally the only people i know who read him are girls
