The bit about Brenda and Jasmine seems to also carry the implication that they wouldn't have so many children if they weren't overweight. Like, does that author think children just spontaneously generate or something (since he's clearly convinced there's no way they could've gotten laid)? Or is the intended implication that fat people are too stupid to use birth control? Cause it doesn't sound like we're meant to think they're happy that they have a lot of kids, but that kids are something bad that happened to them because they're not the author's idea of hot. It's just a very... weird vibe.

Here's the rest of that quote that Jamie was wondering about: "Suddenly she remembered reading somewhere that motherly women with large breasts were often attracted to clumsy, untidy men, and she became conscious of her own breasts straining in their harness under her blouse." pg 15 of _Honeymoon to Nowhere_ by Akimitsu Takagi Here's another sentence from the same page: "He possessed a kind of natural warmth that made her pores open up to him." 😆 Without reading too much, it seems that a woman was meeting a man at a concert, and he showed up late and somewhat disheveled. In these quotes, she's looking at him and comparing him to a couple of other men. The book is available to read for free on Google, which is how I found the section in question. 💙

I wrote a story when I was about 3-5 years old (I was a very advanced reader/writer as a kid way back the 1980s) that was the same basic story as Gaiman's Coraline, about the other version of my family that I could get to through a secret door under the stairs in our front entryway.

It's really disgusting how the one thing this always comes back to is that men don't see women as having any value as a human when they stop being attracted to them. It's not even about general societal standards, it's mostly about what the author himself considers attractive. And all people, including men, women and everyone else, can be totally considered universally attractive if they don't follow every single standard. They can also be considered attractive by a smaller group of people than the conventional standard and that doesn't mean they're ugly. But to limit someone's entire worth to them being fuckable is just to stupid. Because a woman can't apparently present any qualities outside of external beauty. Also, about the fragment with fat women that have a lot of children... How come so many men tend to only see women as useful when they can have children, but as soon as they do they immediately become worthless? Do they really think that a women live for that one night when they have intercourse for the first time, get impregnated and immediately become useless? The more I analyse this the more dehumanising it looks.

Jamie, the image you inspired of the woman deliberately shaking her breasts with each step had me rolling!! 😂😂😂 As always, this topic is so loaded with stupidity, and amazes me how many men truly think that women care as much about their breasts as men do about their penises. Fact: a great majority of the time, breasts are simply there; either too small, too big, wonderful at catching food spills when eating ( quick insert: this is all written with extreme SARCASM). However, most women do not measure their worth by their breast size; neither do we sit around taking off our bras, comparing sizes. Our breasts do not deflate when we are depressed, as they are not filled with air, helium, or relocatable fat deposits. Testicles can "retract" in a manner of speaking due to temperature extreme or severe injury; breasts do not have this capability - we carry them on the front of our bodies and that's where they stay, regardless of depression, humiliation, or exhaustion. If they sag, it is due to muscle weakness. End of story.

I think this is why I saw mentions on Uglies on Tumblr about How Scott Westerfield never who never wrote about the characters breasts. I'm rereading them I only ever read the first series myself soo take that as you will. Either way, I think the closest he come to it in two books is that Shay was warm and soft for Tally to sleep against as the two girls were sleeping in a cave, with the rest of the smokies meaning that Shay was more like a comforting bed then a sex object.

The one about the guy wanting to touch the woman's hair immediately gave me inspiration for a story written with those kinds of awful descriptions. It can be framed like a romance novel. The man is pretty creepy but, in a complete subversion of expectations, instead of being into him (like you see in stories a lot), The woman sends him to jail. Where he belongs. If only I could bring myself to write in that style so I could make it. Or on second thought I really, really don't ever want to write that way. Not even on purpose.

In my early twenties I read a romance novel, one of those ones you get from those book clubs. The chapter where the two meet, the guy is a small town sheriff and the woman's car has broken down or something. It's told from the guy's perspective and it says something to the lines that the guy was repulsed by her, going so far as gagging, because she hadn't bathed in a few days and her hair was greasy. It's been almost 30 years I just can't wrap my head around how someone could find someone repulsive and then fall head over heels for them just because they took a bath. Heaven for I'd she ever get the flu.

Wasn't a book but very recently at my job I heard similar on the age thing with a teen recently. I'm a school custodian for kids pre-k to 8th grade and when my shift starts there are still a few kids and teachers around waiting for the bus or to be called for pick from their parents. I can't do full cleaning with everyone still there but I go in the rooms and just sweep away any big trash on the floor that would block my vacuum. Anyway I walked in and just as one of the teachers was telling a kid to remember what he said in another 10 yrs and to never tell someone that again. The teachers are nice and like to talk to me sometimes. When she saw me she told me that kid just said in response to learning she was in her early 20s that "wow that's old" to her. I suck at telling ages but I'd probably guess the kid himself was 12 or 13 yrs old. This creepy mindset around when a woman gets "to old" doesn't seem to be stopping and its sad as it is disturbing.

Ok, the 2nd quote, (the road-trip one) is Stephen King which I've read many times. I would argue this is not 'men writing women badly', quite the opposite. This is reflective of what these characters think based on what society tells them about their bodies and self-image. It's a critique of men more than women because it implies that the men in their lives have cut them down to the point that they really believe themselves to be worthless. Not only that, but if you actually pay attention, there are so few characters in all of Stephen King's work that are actually described in a favorable manner, regardless of gender. He has a habbit of pointing out the most uncomfortable flaws of humanity. Meaning he rarely uses flattering or pc descriptors. And it wasn't only their weight that they thought made them undesirable, but their children as well. Implying that they have been taught that they and their children would be a burden to any man.

Stephen king has a terrible track record of writing women terribly (and just writing terribly in general actually). In what I’ve read of his work it’s never presented as the womens own insecurities, it’s always written as a factual statement and usually an unnecessary one. Brenda and jasmine aren’t presented worried they’re seen as fat and disgusting, it’s stated that they ARE fat and disgusting and they know it. Those are separate things and are yet another of a very very long list of examples of Kings extremely misogynistic attitudes to women in his writing. And no, men are not given the same treatment.

Really love this series, always so funny/bizarre and never fails to make me laugh. Just as an FYI though, context of the book can be very important. I recognised a quote in a different video as coming from artemis fowl, and while the paragraph alone looked bad, as a whole I think the first book was great. Has strong female characters with personalities and motivations that are not just cast as romantic interests (they even have character development). Although I have say that no context in the world could explain most of the examples :D Great work as always.

I think all authors should be required to take a mandatory class on basic biology before writing, and always consult people who have teh experiences they want to write about. If a man is going to write about a woman, he should speak to women, and the reverse, if a woman is to write about a man, she should speak with men. If an only child is going to write about siblings, they should talk to people with siblings. If a cis person writes about a trans person, they should consult trans people. If you write about an experience not your own, talk to people who've had that experience and are comfortable talking about it. And multiple people are better, no two individuals have the same experience.
@sarahvunkannon7336 Жыл бұрын
Well, that wouldn't necessarily work for all authors. Some authors don't go into their writing with any specific plans, so the only thing to do would be to write a draft first and THEN consult the people with experiences. But I agree, consulting a person with experience is a step that needs to happen sometime before publication. Any time before publication. Just let SOMEONE catch the mistakes.
