>But I am not a fan of “Stoner.” First, along with other female readers, I am put off by Williams’s misogyny. Second, as a professor of English, I am dismayed by the pedantry and narrow-mindedness of his teaching and his treatment of a dissenting student.
>misogany LOL WAT
How in hell was William Stoner a misogynist? He gave all his love and affection to his wife Edith, only for her to take it and throw it all in the garbage. Even after they both were fully aware of their failed marriage he still supported her in everything she did meanwhile at the same time she sabotaged his life in every single way. She made sure to distance their daughter away from William. She even went as far as destroying his study and life's work. She practially drained him of all the happiness he had left..... Where exactly in the story was he a misogynist?
School of resentment. Look it up user. Journalism is ruined.
Camden Anderson
The article is referring to the author's misogyny in writing females as terrible people.
Ryder Campbell
This, but also you would do well to not take clickbait too seriously
Matthew Garcia
That would be true if she didn't include >Second, as a professor of English, I am dismayed by the pedantry and narrow-mindedness of his teaching and his treatment of a dissenting student.
which is referring to Stoners treatment of Walker after he failed to do his report. Hard to tell who she is referring to here. Most likely a feminist brainfart overload.
Adam Morris
Not gonna give them clicks but based off your greentext she just seems like another dumb whore given a platform to promulgate her feminist ideology, and project her resentment on to anything that does not conform.

>Fails to understand that Edith is angry with her husband because he couldn't provide for her the life she wanted to have, and is now stuck in that unhappiness with him. >Fails to understand that Walker's brilliance is a parallel to Lomax's, and is illustrated to be a representation of a kind of flashy hollow teaching that is more excitement than substance. >Doesn't even touch the meaty deep descriptive interludes between events which explain all of this, perhaps they were too mysognistic for her.
It would be an absolute disaster for this person to teach. Too bad she's apparently already a teacher.

Katherine proves that Williams was not a misogynist. Edith was a complex rendering of how badly conventional households fuck up girls/women. Hell, feminists should love this book because it heavily criticizes how past generations handled girls.
Also, the comment about pedantry makes no sense. Reading the book from STONER'S perspective shows the reader that he did nothing wrong and meant well.
Zachary Myers
More and more I think modern feminism is a mask stretched over the natural inclination of women to always lay the blame on men - writ large.
Caleb Powell
>Edith was a complex rendering of how badly conventional households fuck up girls/women.
This is what I got from it too, but I wouldn't say "conventional", I'd say 40s style patriarchal bourgeois households.
I think Edith was well-written, at least considering the book is written from the perspective of Stoner himself.
Cooper Cook

Both are considered accurate and both refer to the author

Either way, I don't get your point.
Calling someone a misogynist because they wrote a female character you don't like is retarded autistic behavior.
Caleb Scott
Are both correct? Fucking teachers, man.
Hunter Howard

Yup.
Logan Baker
Good lads, people are so rooted in their prejudices they think shes an unsympathetic bitch or that Stoner is a misogynist/
Ryder Watson
What a stupid fucking cunt this woman is.
Everybody knows why Edith is the way she is. She's a sheltered child raised to be a perfect ornament, and is subsequently thrown into married life lacking all of the development of a normal human being.
Walker gets an F because he's a fraud. He didn't write the assignment as he was supposed to, and is unable to produce a manuscript when asked. He was blagging like he blags his way through life.
The crippled features are not used to display evil they are used to show a bond between Lomax and Walker. You understand the illogical affection Lomax has for the young man.
Just fuck off and stop poisoning everything that is beautiful on the planet because you're a worthless producer of nothing-but-bile.
Robert Bennett
To feminists, everything created by a male is misogynist.
Even in stories that feature despicable male characters of every stripe, they will always zero in on any female characters and look at only those.
Robert Wood
>they think shes an unsympathetic bitch
Well she was pretty passive-aggressive at times, but if you look at the whole story and not just individual instances, it's hard to not view her as a victim of her sheltered socialization process.
Adam Turner

misogyny doesn't often mean just "hatred"
it often includes things such as prejudices or even a wrong kind of love of women
you could have very positive feelings towards women but still treat them as inferior and weak and so on, maybe helping them out all the time - in this case, many people would call you a misogynist
Elijah King
>misogyny doesn't often mean just "hatred"
oh, then I guess it's no big deal. Nothing to worry about

How the fuck can people even seriously be a feminist is beyond me. Feminists, journalists, need to be gassed.
Lucas Perez
Yea I also hate how woman have property rights and the ability to vote. Our great, great, great grandpas knew how to treat women.

Do resentment school style teachers hate Stoner because it shields itself from their criticism of it?
Look at how incensed Lomax and Walker get when Stoner refuses to recommend Walker pass. They automatically imply that it's because Stoner hates disabled people even though Stoner clearly stated that it was because while intelligent, Walker's knowledge of literature was hollow.He doesn't want someone like that to teach. He believes in the now-radical proposition that someone teaching literature ought to know literature first and foremost and that their preconceptions of certain genres or motifs ought to be based not on what they've been told, but on what they've read and figured out for themselves - in other words, exactly the opposite of the third-wave feminist teachings. Stoner wants people to work for their positions as he did, not hand it out to them because they're disabled
More than anything, this makes me want to read Stoner again.

what the fuck, everyone. is this thread a parody? is this thread virtual art-criticism of outrage culture, of the modern faces of ressentiment? if this whole thread is not just top tier bait, this is outrageous and every participant should be ashamed.
