The Bored Housewife Question Anonymous 11/10/23(Fri)03:02:04 No.5409 [Reply]

>most bookstores that aren't one of the big chains are ran by bored housewives who treat their store as a hobby for their circle of friends; if you're not part of this circle and go into one of these stores, they become suspicious and look at you like you shouldn't be there
>most community theaters are ran by bored housewives who only want to put on terrible plays their kids can star in
>most book clubs are 90% bored housewives who only want to read novels about other bored housewives
>most online book communities are made up of bored housewives who just parrot wikipedia articles since they don't actually read anything other than books about other bored housewives
>most literary journals, be they short story journals, poetry journals or anything else, are controlled by bored housewives who only publish rubbish about "personal feelings"
>most libraries are ran by bored housewives; being a librarian isn't even a paying job anymore since there are so many bored housewives willing to do it for free
>most novels, even YA novels, now are written by and for bored housewives
>the only genres that haven't been completely taken over by bored housewives are thrillers, fantasy and science fiction and the latter two come closer to being lost everyday
>most poetry these days is written by and for bored housewives, which is a big part of why so much poetry sucks nowadays
>epic poetry, once the most respected of all literary genres in the West, is completely dead because it's too inherently masculine
What are we going to do about this?

Something here is contradictory. Are you sure you did not misspell "post-marital spinster cat ladies"? These tend to have excess of free time.
> What are we going to do about this?
Depends on who are those "we".

Anon, just say it: they're millennials. When's the last time you saw a non-millennial housewife read the schlock they put out today? Also:
>the only genres that haven't been completely taken over by bored housewives are thrillers
Thrillers were LONG taken over. A buddy of mine works at a thrift store - they get 'em donated in box after box after box and they're ALL written by basic bitch white women with the most bored housewife pandering plots imaginable.
Picrel applies yet again.

It's true. Women these days want to eternally be a spoiled 16 year old girl. They don't want to be the housewife who tends house and takes care of her husband and kids, but neither does she want to take the man's role and be a provider. Instead she wants to be a childless "stay at home girlfriend" and if you press them for what they think this looks like it amounts to their boyfriend" being the only one with a job who pays all the bills, does all the cooking and cleaning, and buys them stuff while they sit around on their phones talking to their friends on their group chat, looking at Tumblr/Twitter/Reddit/TikToks all day, being rude and sassy, and sometimes texting other boys to flirt with boys when they're bored. They literally want their boyfriend to be their Mom and Dad while they act like a spoiled teenager for the rest of their lives and no one has called them out on it yet.

Prince Of Nothing is the first trilogy and it's a mostly grounded crusades-like Dark Fantasy setting. Although it constantly hints that shit will start going down soon.
It gets philosophical in certain parts, but it doesn't dwell on those themes too long. It prefers to keep a cinematic pace.
I'm not reading it so much out of love for Fantasy, as much as Bakker's prose being really good.

I finally read The martian chronicles by Ray Bradbury. I let it mature on my shelf for years.

I expected more from the book, it's not horrible, but I found it frustrating and several stories had a comedic tone and only a few worked for me in that sense. An entire story in the collection is about niggers building rockets to go to Mars and leave the whites behind. It's a pointless exercise since at the end of the book all the humans return to Earth, It is useless both within the narrative and in the work as a whole, which could have used this space to take one last good look at the Martians.

7/10 at best. Better than many modern science fiction books, but much weaker than other books written during the 50s, 60s and 70s. In fact I've read underrated pulp stories from the 20s that were better.

I read Unz Review, 4thPT/Paideuma/Arktos Journal for pseudugin shit, and the Orthodox Arts Journal, since it's about the only brand of art theory that isn't aesthetically offensive- all of these by RSS feed in a patrician terminal interface, and only when an article is interesting and free. Wish there was more free things to read, but let's be honest writers are always fucking shilling their paywalls.

Oh, and I read Paul Kingsnorth's blog. Usually it's some strange tale of some obscure person from the first millennium AD in Ireland, and sometimes it's paywalled patreon content, but sometimes it's long and free and really good shit about books/writing/art/history/nature/technology. RSS is king again, as you don't have to deal with patreon's shitty interface and know right away whether it's a full piece or for paypiggies only. If Christianity doesn't immediately trigger you into a spastic redditor frenzy, I recommend.

I'm over halfway through the Shards by the queer who wrote American Psycho. The author reads the book himself, which only adds to the awkwardness inherent in the personal nature of autofiction. If you're the type to admire exquisite attention to detail in gay sex scenes, it's not bad, but nothing groundbreaking.

The irony is not lost on me. I just really enjoy this audiobook, it's like a comfort blanket, and I like to keep all the principles fresh in my mind when I am reading. So if I can't read, and if I'm not doing something degenerate or wasting my life, I tend to listen to this.

Of course none of it is necessary if you're reading shit-tier garbage like Shards by the queer who wrote American Psycho, but if you're reading things to challenge yourself, it's very useful.

Fair enough, I've never read it. It sounds horrible, but I guess you're used to it. I don't read a lot of recently written books, so when I hear about things like metafiction and autofiction I make a face like I've just shit my pants and mutter something elitist. When I say "shit-tier garbage," I mean compared to the Divine Comedy. All I do is read Classics, and when I feel nostalgic I read pop fiction books I enjoyed as a kid, like Crichton. But that's about all I have any desire to read. I hate everyone living.

No mature Aryan is able to prof i t by a humiliation; when he forgives it has become part of his life," and so Dick decides not to forgive and not to speak of retribution.
Upon waking, Dick realizes how he has behaved and feels terrible about it-he has lost the good part of himself that he resolved to resurrect after his father's death. He is stubborn, however, and decides not to apologize for his violent actions. Further, Dick is "Aryan"-white-and believes that his race makes him superior to Italian people and therefore exempt from asking for forgiveness.
