TALK TO ME


All opinions are my own

[alilbitmads]

lemme know if theres other subreddits or things yall want me to react to!!

[haleythomas]

I'm sorry but referring to a virgin as unbroken implies that women who are not virgins are broken and that's so messed up. It makes me sad that there are people who would think this and then proceed to perpetuate their belief.

[morganepronget]

You missed the best one! An autopsy scene where the doc says that the lady was found naked but he found "change, an ID and a credit card in the victim's v*gina". Because apparently, v*ginas were purses all along and we've all been doing things wrong.

[limeboum]

Richard K Morgan should be on here, in Altered Carbon he switched bodies with a woman and I'm pretty sure the description is something like "the oiliness of my hair told me my period was coming soon"

[chrisisbookinit]

Listen, my family is from Wisconsin and the cheese guy might be onto something...

[monster-enthusiast]

"This isn't alchohol but it really should be" is the best thing I've heard all day

[sukhmanisreadingcorner]

Sooo.... according to these men, women are bread, fruit, and capri sun? 🤨Is it sad that once I saw the year of publication (1935), I thought to myself, "Yes, that tracks"? Male authors, please, for the love of all good things, stop with the cringe factor!

Oh, I definitely want a part two of this horror show of a video. This was beyond delightful with your reactions! 😂

[avyaya]

I mean, these would be probably be fine if they had comedic purposes.

[wrengrant]

It's really hard to believe any of these men have actually known a woman? However, cheese is great

[EleiyaUmei]

2:30 I had to look this up in my dad's German translation of the book. Here, it says "Her body had grown *slinky* from years of running practice but for the men around her, it had/gave off a strong *lasciviousness*." (sexual radiance)
As expected, this book was translated by a man.

[Mdelossantos.t]

And they ask why we think they hate women 🙄

[BrandonGuimond]

I think men project their own internal insecurities about the opposite sex into their writing. All of these sound like it's the "author" saying these things, and not the "character", if that makes sense. Cringe.

[suicidalplaytoy]

So im not the only one fascinated by cheese ... 🧀

[siddharth]

Thanks for giving me a good morning laugh :D

[exodocian]

Lol I hope I don’t fail as hard as that

[sa]

I have just read the first book of the Dresden Files so that Molly/Susan quote is still fresh in my mind 😂

I won’t be continuing the series because of other issues, but it’s nice seeing you react to them 😂😂

Yes, do it again please and tackle Robert Jordan. I want to see what you think about his rumored problematic view on women.

[amykruse]

Cheese: yes I like cheese. The rest of it: the actual F?

[Rikku]

MenWritingWomen also has female author fridays (or whatever day of the week) and just OOF people be projecting their insecurities/fantasies way too hard lol

[collycarson]

Horney is a woman though, if I'm not wrong. Her full name is 'Karen' Horney, go figure, and she was a neo-Fruedian...yeah, it just gets better and better.

[Reptile]

Couldn't watch the rest of the vid - how the hell did ANY of these books get published writing sh*t like that - it's pathetic!!
