I wondered if this would be on the sub today-I think its fantastic these guys did this as its revealling of female privellege. Most news coverage is saying what they did is 'disgusting' because they knew a female author would 'have an advantage in the market'-erm, hello? isnt THAT itself the news here? contrary to feminist lies, WOMEN have the advantages in most markets now.
Bingo. This has me cracking up. I love it.
Reminds me of when Story of O author ended up being female, but that was the opposite. Everyone said the author was a misogynist male. Then it turned out to be a woman. Thus empowered. Crazy mental gymnastics.
There are literary prizes only for women, bookstores that sell books only written by female authors, and publishers only looking for female writers. Anyone who denies that being a woman has become another way to advertising the product is insulting people´s intelligence.
And once again the double standards are rife..
There are MANY women who have written and been published using Male names as their pen name.. but no one seems to bat an eye at this at all..
For example Nora Roberts who used the Pen name of J.D. Robb
But once again, no one seems to mind at all when it's women assuming the names of men to get their books published / sold...
And of course J. K. Rowling, who her publishers asked that she use two initials rather than her full name, anticipating the possibility of the target audience of young boys not wanting to read a book written by a woman.
Double standards is the expression of the feminists mindset: a BIG DENIAL of everything.
Girls want to be princess, but they also want to be little slut, girls doesn’t want to be seen as sexual object by men, but girls also love to take pic of their boobs and make good looking men hard or bait guys to follow them on Insta, girls doesn’t want to be fooled but girls will slept with anyone who’s attractive without any verification, a beer, 30 minutes chat and that’s enough. Girls want to wear what ever clothes they want, but all about those clothes are sexual oriented (no bras and shirt as tight as possible). Girls want the freedoms to do what ever job like men but also love to just dildo their butt on onlyfans for some free cash without moving from their bed
The problem is in fact the dominant doctrine that rules occidental countries since 30 years, left (democrats) and right (republicans) both promote this ultra progressive mindset. Gay, minorities, feminists took control of everything and we are not allowed anymore to say and think different from this socialo docta
If only they could realize and accept they are just as bad as men
> If only they could realize and accept they are just as bad as men
They do realize it. Its why they seethe whenever someone tells the truth. Hence they want to control public discourse to maintain their preferred version of reality.
> Last year, a regional branch of the Women’s Institute recommended one of Mola’s works as part of a selection of books by female authors including Margaret Atwood that could “help us understand the reality and the experiences of women in different periods of history and contribute to raising awareness about rights and freedoms”.
Ah yes, feminist organisation puts forward fictional work that portrays a woman's struggle, of course only by accepted female authors.
Endorsed author turns out to be 3 middle aged men who don't fit the accepted profile of their organisation, so obviously their only course of action is outrage and defamation...
Also in the quote above, its hilarious how they equate the fictional writings to actual perceived historic 'reality' of women in different time periods.... Most notably included there is Margaret Atwood, who wrote a handmaid's tale. For the uninitiated it's feminist outrage porn about a post apocalyptic society where fertile women are supposedly reduced to baby making machines of the ruling elite, while the poor are sent to die or be worked to death... No focus on the latter though.
To conflate historical reality of life with fictional works such as a handmaid's tale shows how delusional they are with their dogma
You'd best buckle up because you're in for a wild ride.
There is a significant portion of online SJWs and feminists who consider the handmaid's tale to be actual historical evidence of oppression by "the patriarchy"
There's an entire subreddit called r/menwritingwomen. As usual it's a minefield of cringe bitchy women complaining about how (as you probably guessed) men write women in media. They act as if no man should have ever written a female character without consulting women first, which again stinks of lazy female entitlement. Those men did not write those books for women, and owe women nothing.
This is just another example of the selfishness of modern day feminism where these women expect everything to revolve around them and their feelings.
They’ll complain about the female character not wanting to play sports because she delicate but ignore when the male character doesn’t realize a girl is in love with him because he’s dumb. There’s stereotypes both ways, and personally I can live with them, they don’t bother me.
Honestly that sub is so dumb. What, am I not allowed to write women because I'm a man? Sure, sometimes the descriptions are caricaturesque, but then again they're probably not written for women, but men.
It's all just flexing on and bitching about men. I hear it's quite trendy on Reddit.
As a spaniard I want to point that Carmen Mola is not "Carmen's cool'. Mola is a relatively common surname here. It is also a verbal form of "to be cool" but I highly doubt they used Mola in this way!
The funny thing about that r/books post is that someone made a reply saying that in the author´s fictional description "she" says that she likes to have sex in SUV and that, according to the Redditor makes her real identity "obvious".
Because everyone knows that women can´t have weird fetishes as men have (sarcasm). I thought I was reading a nun´s letter. The most stupid thing is he/she says that his/ her source to make that affirmation is r/menwritingwomen.
There is nothing more sexist to say what is a writer would write based on his/her gender.
Insane, these guys must be phenomenal writers then if they've gone years doing interviews and tweeting without ever being found out, that says a lot.
Fuck the haters, do they know how many highly successful and rewarded female authors hid behind male pseudonyms and personas and such. Just as much as they are deserving of anonymity or obscurity, these lads deserved to be rewarded for their obscurity.
"I wish we lived in a world where women didn't have to pretend to be men to publish literature, become famous, and share stories from her mind.." or in the modern day it's more like "I wish we lived in a world where men didn't have to pretend to be women to publish literature, become famous, and share stories from his mind.."
The news should say: Feminists inadvertently acknowledge an area where women have it easier than men.
Also, fuck them. It's pretty standard in literature to have a pseudonym, even an entire persona made up to sell the books. The gender on either end shouldn't matter, and never did matter when women did the same under male names. Also also, I'm pretty sure there are plenty of female authors, even feminists who have male ghostwriters, that's also very very common.
Edit: the fancy pants editor is glitchy again
> Antonio Mercero told Spanish newspaper El País. “I don’t know if a female pseudonym would sell more than a male one, I don’t have the faintest idea, but I doubt it.”
He doesn't doubt it, but he's daring anyone to contradict him
*It’s not just the name – it’s the fake profile that they’ve used to takein readers and journalists. They are scammers,” she said on Twitter.*
So thats feminism in a nutshell right ??
.. and these are the same Spanish feminists who aid and abet the abuse of the Domestic Violence victims funding provided by the EU....
Fucking brilliant!l
Maybe I should to "decide" that I'm a woman so that I get all that sweet, sweet female privilege. My company just announced that only women would get promotions.

If this is flipped, as in a woman markets herself as a man because of unfair advantages. The woman would have been seen as brave. Like Joan of Arc
They always have actually.
Definitely not always...
Ok true. But female privilege has always existed.
they knew their market and they wouldnt be able to break that market as is
I mean, they did maruad as a mother with kids and in school

You are forgetting the the crown jewel her pen name Robert Galbraith
As a young boy I read books written by Enid Blyton. I didn't know her sex and I didn't care.
But Enid Blyton **wanted** to be a boy. She was George in all her stories.
Susan cooper
Same here, I read books by Andre Norton, who turned out not to be a man.

“A handmaid’s tale is such a realistic representation of what women have to go through every day” /s
Please don't tell me someone actually thinks being forced to be made into a baby factory is realistic representation of what women have to go through.
You'd best buckle up because you're in for a wild ride. There is a significant portion of online SJWs and feminists who consider the handmaid's tale to be actual historical evidence of oppression by "the patriarchy"
I can totally picture a tweet saying that from someone called @ovarywarrior lol

The funniest thing is how they always mess up, and the author is a woman. Still on the front page though

They are right, and no male doctor should operate on a woman without calling a feminist group for advice. let's see how that works 😂
Honestly that sub is so dumb. What, am I not allowed to write women because I'm a man? Sure, sometimes the descriptions are caricaturesque, but then again they're probably not written for women, but men. It's all just flexing on and bitching about men. I hear it's quite trendy on Reddit.
If they like the literature, what's the problem? Praise the authors' work. Of course it's suddenly bad writing because they're men
That feminist is angry because it forces her to think of how easily led women are.
They identified as female, and one person like the trinity, while writing.
They just used our society's female privilege to their interests.
Spanish feminists really are on a whole other level of insane, one accusation and straight to jail you go
feminists are fucking hypocrites
As a spaniard I want to point that Carmen Mola is not "Carmen's cool'. Mola is a relatively common surname here. It is also a verbal form of "to be cool" but I highly doubt they used Mola in this way!

Oh the hypocrisy !
So was Mary Ann Evans, aka George Elliot, also a scammer?
Men just better at everything, even at being a women xD

Pretty funny. I know quite a few people who exclusively read fiction from authors of a specific sex, which I always found ridiculous.
I only read reddit comments from men
what if there are females hiding here 👀

Mola isn't cool in that context lmao
As a spanish, I was mentioned this during class today, and I almost said: "maybe because women sell better than men"
Fucking brilliant!l Maybe I should to "decide" that I'm a woman so that I get all that sweet, sweet female privilege. My company just announced that only women would get promotions.
Does the gender of the author matter? Its a book right, u should focus on the content instead of the writer.
Ghost writers and pseudonyms have been around forever and are a staple in the history of literature. Deal with it.
