Hi

Hi,

I'm a female and this is my first time here.
Are you misogynists when it comes to reading?
For example do you read female-centric books like Jane Eyre?

Not at all. Lolita is a favorite of mine.

Ehh, I'll bite. Your bait at least looks interesting.

Could you explain further what you mean by "misogynists when it comes to reading"? Your following question suggests that you conceptualize literary misogyny only as not reading "female-centric books," but I find even that phrase vague and unwieldy.

For example my last boyfriend refused to read anything written by a women for women( such as Jojo Moyes or bronte sisters. He most stuck to classical stuff and some sci-fi which I at least try to read on occasion

Did he explain why? Did he even have a reason?

Why would I read fiction?

...

Being misogynistic is not wanting to read something written specifically for women?

Is this how low the bar is? Is everything discrimination now?

I guess I am Portuguese-ist because I don't want to read stuff written specifically by Portuguese people for Portuguese people...

I put off reading Anna Karenina for a long time because I was reluctant to read a book about a woman.
I am glad I finally got around to reading it though. The parts with Levin hunting with his dog, or even just mowing grain on his farm were so comfy.
And Vronsky was alpha as fuck. Racing horses, gambling, plowing married sloots and then at the end going off to Serbia to remove kebab or die trying. He knew how to live life. I just skimmed or skipped the woman chapters.

I'm reading "Demons of the Flesh: The Complete Guide to Left-Hand Path Sex Magick" by Nikolas + Zeena Schreck, which is can be described as female-centric. Apart from that my reading is very male-centric as almost all books I know were written by men and in all likelihood for themselves, and I take offense in you labeling my preference as mysoginistic.
