Ok serious question from a guy. Books like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, and other books from authors like Austen and the three Brontës have this stigman of being "girly", but are also regarded as classics, books of which I believe should be read by both men and women. How do these books apply to men, and how can I prove it?
Also, don't spoil it too much, as I haven't read them yet, but am about to.
I would also like to know.

What they apply to is human relationships from a gender-perspective other than your own. You want to know women, right? At any rate it's far more important to know your enemies rather than say, your parents, or your friends..

It will give the reader deeper insight into the female mind. Once gained, you'll have no further need or desire to attempt to communicate intelligently with women.
So, if nothing else, it will free you from the idiocy of trying to talk to women for anything other than service of some sort.

Sense and Sensibility is a story of 3 sisters and their courtships, but the real subject is Romanticism vs Rationalism.
