whenever i tell a guy im talking to or considering going out with about my favorite author and they realize she is a feminist contemporary writer and a woman they always have this little "oh..." moment that literally makes me feel insane. and then the next question is almost always "have u read (insert male author who writes women like cardboard)?" like! valid question! but i can tell you lost interest the second i revealed that i primarily read and enjoy books by female authors!

#it drives me CRAZY #and i can't explain it other than like... they either lose interest immediately #or they have a lapse in judgement because they don't know her and were under the impression i was going to say someone they know #the amount of times that the author in question has been murakami.. kafka... or camus... is INSANE #like yes they are fantastic authors and their prose is great... but do i think their misogyny impeded their ability to write a bit?? yeah #anyway #other side of this coin is that sometimes i'll be talking with someone and they'll ask my fav author #AND THEY KNOW HER!!! AND IT'S LIKE!!! VINDICATION!!! SHE'S AMAZING!!!!#tw.misogyny
