Is the inability for women to relate to great men of history or male characters in literature who possess seemingly universal characteristics like Hamlet a fault of the author or a fault of the women?
Women suck, man. All of /r9k/ agrees with me. Stupid womens

Please fuck off, my question was serious.
There is a lot of debate around Shakespeare and whether he should be highly regarded or not by feminists.
David Mitchell
A woman watches Hamlet and she thinks "Woah, Hamlet is so smart and interesting!"
A man watches Hamlet and he thinks "Woah, I'm so smart and interesting!"
Which of the two is deluded?
Dylan Wilson
It's evolutionary. Men needed to develop creativity and intelligence to be able to hunt for food. In all societies, women are the ones who make babies and men are the ones who do shit. Women attach themselves to men because they know they cannot achieve true greatness themselves.
Carson Taylor
Cant argue with that desu

First, what is your "concept of greatness"? Surely you can not make loaded claims (even in question form) without defining such terms?
Give us examples of your idea of "great men" and why they are great and then we shall answer your question.

Women can't achieve greatness so they will try everything to make everything and everyone around them small.
It's.. genetic? A side-effect of evolution?
Don't bother and start achieving Greatness
Ayden Rogers
>they know they cannot achieve true greatness themselves.
How did you infer this information? What evidence are you going based on? How can you come to generalize the thoughts of half of the species across the board in race, religion, socieconomic status, etc.?
Ryder Richardson
>Women can't achieve greatness so they will try everything to make everything and everyone around them small. This tbqh. That's why women are so overwhelmingly liberal. They want a world where everyone is equal, but if nobody is worse off than anyone else nobody is better either. It's a universal human truth. Argue against it instead of pretending to be retarded.

This sounds like something someone in kindergarten may perhaps respond with.

Gabriel Gutierrez
Great women are rare exceptions that prove the rule. >dude greatness doesn't exist lmao it's all in your head Can women be as strong as men? Can they be as intelligent or creative? Except for a few exceptions, the answer is now, and this is because of evolution.
Jack Bailey
>Can women be as strong as men? Can they be as intelligent or creative?
Eh yeah, are you retarded? Tons of women are smarter than tons of men, hell tons of women are stronger than tons of men.

Camden Stewart
>Eh yeah, are you retarded? >Tons of women are smarter than tons of men, hell tons of women are stronger than tons of men. Nope, not really. Women are less likely to be great scientists or artists. This isn't social, it's because of biological gender roles. Of course, there are SOME exceptions, but they are very rare. You want to argue or be condescending?
Colton Gutierrez

So you're defining all data that doesn't fit into a set as exceptions no matter the quantity? Men are not "smarter then women", at best men have a higher probability to be smarter than a random given women but even that I find suspect.
Thomas Butler
>So you're defining all data that doesn't fit into a set as exceptions no matter the quantity? They're exceptions because they're rare. >Men are not "smarter then women", at best men have a higher probability to be smarter than a random given women but even that I find suspect. If men aren't smarter than women, how come men were the ones who moved mountains, made art, and created civilization? How come, even with equal rights and special privileges in academia, women still haven't been doing great things with the same frequency as men?
Look, the central ideological tenant of liberalism is that everybody is necessarily equal. But there's absolutely nothing that really supports this, and why would it? Do you think the universe or evolution cares about egalitarianism? It's basically the just-world fallacy.
Bentley Davis
>They're exceptions because they're rare.
No they aren't, not by any means. If we're talking about strength it would be fair to say men are stronger than women sure, it would be unusual though far from neglible that in a random pairing of a man and woman that the woman would be stronger (given same age).
However in a random pairing of men and women, taking IQ to represent intelligence, its at best a slightly weighted coin toss which would be smarter.
Lucas Parker

It would be very unusual. If women and men have demonstrable biological differences in strength, why exactly is it so impossible to believe that they have biological differences in intelligence? >However in a random pairing of men and women, taking IQ to represent intelligence, its at best a slightly weighted coin toss which would be smarter.

>In this study we found that 17- to 18-year old males averaged 3.63 IQ points higher than did their female counterparts on the 1991 Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). We analysed 145 item responses from 46,509 males and 56,007 females (total N = 102,516) using a principal components procedure. We found (1) the g factor underlies both the SAT Verbal (SAT-V) and the SAT Mathematics (SAT-M) scales with the congruence between these components greater than 0.90; (2) the g components predict undergraduate grades better than do the traditionally used SAT-V and SAT-M scales; (3) the male and the female g factors are congruent in excess of .99; (4) male–female differences in g have a point-biserial effect size of 0.12 favoring males (equivalent to 3.63 IQ points); (5) male–female differences in g are present throughout the entire distribution of scores; (6) male–female differences in g are found at every socioeconomic level; and (7) male–female differences in g are found across several ethnic groups. We conclude that while the magnitude of the male–female difference in g is not large, it is real and non-trivial. Finally, we discuss some remaining sex-difference/brain-size/IQ anomalies.

OP here.
I did not claim women can't be great. Please develop a reading comprehension, retards.
I asked why don't women possess the 'concept' of greatness. Meaning why don't they themselves strive to achieve such a thing, rather they strive to achieve other ideals whereas men are principally preoccupied with this obsession.
Ayden Jenkins

It's laughable that you think all men by default are occupied with greatness. It's very likely that men are, in a general sense, more focused on their own 'legacy' than women are, and the reasons for this should be explored. But to say no woman out there strives to be great is about as misguided as saying all men strive to be great. >I did not claim women can't be great >why don't women possess the 'concept' of greatness So women can be 'great' but they don't actually have a concept of what is great? Are you autistic? It seems to me you're simply looking for affirmation of your own bias perspective. Have you ever actually had an intelligent conversation with a woman who you weren't trying to fuck?

Kill yourself, retard.
I used men in a general sense and if you think the concept of 'greatness' doesn't preoccupy many men then you are deluded. I also used the term in a general sense with regards to women.
Your entire argument is based on the strawman assumption that I mean all men. I did not therefore your entire post is worthless.
Learn about the nuances of language, retard.

Okay, then I'll reiterate my question CuriousMonkeyfrend, how can women be great if they don't actually have a concept of what greatness is? Or better yet, perhaps you should define greatness for me. If I am truly the louse you say I am, then you as the OP must enlighten me. Please explain and use tiny words so I might fully understand.

What's your point? Women evolved for different things than men. Men are doers, women stay home and take care of the children, at least that's how it should be in a non-degenerated society. Getting rid of gender roles is inefficient and weakens our societies.

Jonathan Jenkins
That would be idealism. The fact of the matter is that we are animals driven by animal instincts and needs. Not everybody can do everything.
Ryder Allen
The point isn't that there is a monolithic or concrete definition of greatness.
I should have written more in the OP.
The point is that in a general sense many men are preoccupied with the concept.
Simply think of all the books written by men throughout history on Napoleon, Caesar, Alexander etc.
There are more books written about Napoleon than anyone else I believe, and the majority of such books are written by men. This can't be a coincidence.
Many world leaders study men of history and many leaders during the 20th century were obsessed with Plato's conception of the 'Philosopher King'.
The point I was making in the OP was that many women do not relate to such men, in fact, many women hate the need for them to study such figures as Hamlet in education as they cannot relate to him, there is much feminist debate on this.
This was the general idea I was trying to say in the OP.
Jonathan Peterson

Most people live startlingly similar lives and don't do much. The breakdown of gender roles is a symptom of the breakdown of gender roles (due to global capitalism and liberalism) is going to weaken our society. What do you think happens when we go to a real war? Masculine men and feminine women are the ones who will survive. You can't keep things peaceful and degenerate forever, eventually it'll have to come crashing down. Argue against it then.
Josiah Ward
Excellent. I am beginning to understand. Perhaps even agree that men on average do have a higher drive to be superior than women. But tell me is this superior-drive a result of genetic or social differences?
>in a general sense many men are preoccupied with the concept >many women do not relate to such men, in fact, many women hate the need for them to study such figures as Hamlet in education as they cannot relate to him Okay, so I am in agreement with you here. But again I must ask the same question as above, is this the result of genetic differences or societal differences?

>But tell me is this superior-drive a result of genetic or social differences? Probably both. Men in pretty much every society except modern capitalism are the ones who take risks and do things. Women and their eggs are inherently valuable, so no tribe would risk sending a woman into war or hunting. Men can spread their seed much quicker and easier, so they're the ones that need to be strong and smart.

Because they have different roles and different biology. I don't believe they're really inferior for it though. Child-rearing and their relationships to the family build civilization, their relationships to the male define the male.

I think men in general are more preoccupied with power.Men find power fascinating because it's a way to dominate and be assertive.
Aiden Carter
>He feels the need to tell us he's an ubermensch still attached to slave morality I see.
So then why do men feel more of a need to take risks, be more 'active' so to speak, than woman do? Is it because men need to see themselves as accomplished while women care more about feeling happy ('accomplished' in a different way) than they do 'making a name for themselves?'
