One of my “friends” called me stupid and then when I got offended, said “Gosh, women always have to feel like they’re better than others, don’t they?” Like- bro- you called me stupid! It has nothing to do with the fact that I’m a woman who “needs to feel better than others”. You don’t call people stupid!

[@kyradreamer4769]

I think that the compliments and insults someone uses can say a lot about them, often more than the subject of their insults. Their values, their worldview, how personable they are etc is revealed pretty plainly. Having the nerve to insult someone and reply to their reasonably negative reaction by insinuating they think they're better than everyone is so insufferably arrogant. I'm sorry you have to deal with people like that and hope you find people more worth your time soon.

The fact that these so often go to pedophilia and fetishism of "child like innocence" is so creepy. It's not just in one video, mutable videos on r/men writing women, goes to it and it's so creepy

[@smythejane7345]

OH MY GODDDDDD you just sparked all of the memories I have of reading books where a woman (usually fully grown) is described as childish/childlike and “innocent” “fun” “pure”. Jesus Christ its actually everywhere, this one specific description and seriously makes it seem like the male protagonist/author is attracted to children. Why can’t they come up with something else lol

[@conspiracypanda1200]

​@@smythejane7345 I remember watching a whole video essay on this (actually done by a guy, which is a relief and helpful for dealing with other guys who don't care to believe it when it comes from the mouth of a woman) where it detailed how the "childlike innocence" of full grown women characters in movies is a power imbalance that allows the man to be the woman's first introduction into the world and its concepts, and how this may reflect men's insecurity in themselves because this situation would place them comfortably as the focal point in this woman's experiences by eliminating any other male competition or the woman's own competence making him suddenly unneeded. I think it also had a small part about "innocent men" characters aimed at women, but in those situations the woman uses the innocent man as an escape from the expectations of the modern world rather than bringing him into it so she can become his intellectual crutch to worship. God help me if I could find the damn video again though, given KZbin's bs changes to the search engine.

Hi, hello! Female writer here. I'll be graduating with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Creative Writing in *checks watch* a week and two days and I have a fun fact about starting stories in the middle. You're supposed to! It is a genuine writing technique that is highly encouraged and, except in certain circumstances where the story requires it or if you're adhering to specific form such as a fairy tale, pretty much expected among writing communities. It's a technique called "in medias res" and it essentially means "in the middle of the action". It is one of the first things you're taught in collegiate level creative writing classes and one of the things they will pound in your head until graduation (because it's important!) If you start your story at the very beginning, it's gonna be real freaking boring. You want to hook your audience by starting right in the middle of the action, in the middle of the important part. Things that happened before can be explored through dialogue, narration, and flashbacks if need be, but it's generally expected that you don't start a story right at the beginning. That was one of the worst cases of mansplaining I think I've ever seen...

[@kayamonn3220]

8:10 this one’s driving me crazy bc the author is actually an incredibly well known sci-fi author. He wrote the book Blade Runner is based on. Also the Minority Report. Like he is undeniably a super talented and skilled author, so this is breaking my brain tbh Edit: As in like I’m blown away by how he could possibly have written something so unhinged, not that Queer Kiwi is being too harsh or anything. She’s right, it’s insane

[@helvete_ingres4717]

why is it 'insane'? what about it contradicts being a 'talented and skilled author'? and even if it is, what's wrong with 'insane', exactly, is that a bad quality for a writer to possess? Philip K. Dick's output is notoriously insane, given that he became literally what people consider 'insane', his last books are meta-fiction about his schizophrenic divine revelations. If you understood anything about creativity, you'd understand creativity is essentially controlled insanity. Anyway idk the context of that passage but idk what's so 'wrong' about it and this reaction seems based on prudishness more than anything else. The personification of nature is the foundation of all mythology, which is about seeing the elemental forces of nature and the animal spirits of humanity on a mythic continuum - as above, so below. In Greek myths rivers are angry, lustful, and everything else. Water being horny is not the 'unhinged' ridiculous idea you think it is b/c it eclipses your own imagination. There' s also something very funny about not only doing that but describing the sexual experience of water in stereotypicla human terms - a lot of Dick is absurdist comedy, you all just don't understand literature.

[@kayamonn3220]

@@helvete_ingres4717 bro, chill lmao. Not everybody is selecting every word they use like it’s being graded in a college essay. It’s a comment I typed out while lying in bed. It’s colloquial. I just mean it comes across weird and gross. I literally made this comment bc I otherwise enjoy Philip K. Dick’s work, and that just comes across in both form and style so differently that it was like a slap in the face. It’d be like if you found out the lyrics “tell your boyfriend if he says he’s got beef that I’m a vegetarian, and I ain’t fuckin scared of him” were written by Beethoven. It’ll give you a bit of whiplash. Is it possible that there’s context that makes that passage seem normal? Sure. Is it even probable given that we can reference his obvious skill elsewhere, and understand how the way this comes across on its own runs somewhat contrary to the rest of his work? Yeah, maybe. Idk. But we can still see the passage in isolation and have a “lol, wtf” moment. Not everybody has a stick up their ass 24/7. Some of us like to enjoy life a little and have a laugh every now and then

I guess I'm a little worried then... I have it in plan to write a book with a mostly male cast, a boy's version of Matilda..... with the boy protagonist as a sensitive and gentle artist, trapped in a 1950s world of harsh repression and toxic masculinity, he even goes to a Spartan-styled school that reinforces these psychopathic masculine values, run by a cool but aggressive and Andrew Tate type principal; a misogynistic ladies' man, ordained minister, WW2 veteran, boxer, and imperialistic bully. But through the Boy's deceased mother's blessing, whenever his imagination is repressed or dismissed, his creations come to life to cause fun and wreak havoc against the boy's oppressors. And the story ends in the peace-loving, liberating 1960s.

I am so scared lately. Sexism has become such a big part of online space. I am scared that those attitudes also spill into real life. I do want to find a partner who does not see me as a maid, who cares about my success as much as I would care about theirs, who would not make me feel bad about making money, who would not cheat and think it is normal for men to do so. I would rather stay alone. Today my rich single aunty was told that her life had no meaning because she has no man. Mind you after my mother died she adopted me and I love her so much. So she has a child, me. She laughed about it and so did I, but I am still worried. What if I wake up one day and no one will want me. Is being with someone worth disregarding your values and feelings? I do not want to get married at 24, I am not ready, but what if no one will want me after I am thirty. What if I want to be with someone at that age? My aunty is 50 and ahe has tons of men literally offering themselves to her bot her age and much, much younger. She does not go for them, because she really likes being free. She is literally a muse for an artist.

That take at the start about starting stories in the middle is absurd. It's an incredibly useful technique for just about any story that's meant to get you invested. It's not always the best option but it's real good. It's also got a lot more use than just assuring the audience that there will be action later in the story. One of my favorite examples of this is persona 5, which uses in medias res as a framing device, tutorial for the game, plot hook, and foreshadowing, all at once. By the time you get back to where you started you're well aware of what's happening so the game can throw even more interesting developments at you, and it makes that part of the story feel really special. It's what the game has been leading up to, and it shows. It's not just a way to get the audience to be patient, if used well enough it can enhance the story in incredible ways. I never thought I'd be excited to play through a game's tutorial for the second time, but I'm incredibly glad I was wrong.

to be fair I think the Boccacio one may be mocking a (misogynist) Medieval Italian writer, since it takes famous authors as characters. but more context would help determine that 😅

The excerpt on the water “nursing” reminded me of a part from the latest The Click video. I hope you cover it on your next installment or Are the Straights Okay? It was the headline of an article where the bride found the groom hours before the wedding, nursing on his mother in a bathroom stall.

[@allisont.6878]

That description where he described a girl as "biracial"... which two races is she a combination of? Is she White/black? Native American/Hispanic? Any of the many visually distinct regional variants of Asian/Pacific Islands? Using the word biracial without specifying the races is worse than not bringing the subject up at all. He ASSUMES we know which two races he means, and is thoughtless erasure of every other possible combination. Either that, or... yikes, he might figure the two races are "white" and "not-white", and it doesn't matter what the other non-white race is. Which is even worse, on many levels.

Actually I’m not sure if the “women can only be happy with misogynists” one fits the r/MenWritingWomen sub, because we don’t know for sure that the author is saying it. It is perfectly fine to PORTRAY misogyny in a book, to comment on it … doesn’t mean the author is. Of course he could be, if the moral of that book in question turns out to be that that character was right, but maybe that character is an antagonist? We don’t really know, do we?

[@helvete_ingres4717]

It's right there in it: a 'misogynist' is someone who disliked not women but femininity which is described in idealistic terms and contrasted with other men who value it. Therefore a 'misogynist' is someone who would date a woman without projecting these ideals onto her. Can't explain it simpler than that. 'maybe it's okay if the misoggynest is the BAD GUY' - you honestly have an extremely childish, pantomime-like understanding of literature, no wonder you don't know who Goethe and Bocaccio even are

[@Anton15243]

A good point overall, the character could've easily been an unlikeable, deeply flawed protagonist. That said, the author of the book, Milan Kundera, is kind of infamous for writing women in his novels in a questionable light, often using sexualising writing and putting the female characters in denigrating positions. Is this him showing his disdain for women, or his objections to how society treats them? I don't know. But from what I see, he doesn't really have women making a stand against it either, which loops around to victimising them, and we're back to seeing the writings as problematic

[@letterborneVods]

@@Anton15243 thanks for the context! I didn’t know the writer.

@@Anton15243 someone seeing the world differently to you is not the 'deep flaw' you think it is. I don't understand why anyone bothers reading beyond the desire to be 'a person who reads' if all they ever want is their own values regurgitated back them in a hundred different ways (values which are likely not the product of any deep introspection nor philosophical inquiry but were rather spoon-fed to you by your culture)

[@Anton15243]

@@helvete_ingres4717 First off, thank you for your numerous contributions to the discussion. I see that this topic is one that is of deep concern to you, and I'm glad to see you speak your mind about it. That said, I do believe that other people's worldviews and actions are subject to criticism. Mostly because I believe in objective right and wrong, which means I can denounce others' views if I see them as going against morals. It may not be your framework, but it is mine, and I stay true to it. Now, more about this character's views in particular. Starting with the most egregious, he presents a false dichotomy between essentially fetishising femininity and, by extention, women, and being terrified with feminine values. This completely ignores just respecting feminine values without adoring them in poems, seeing value in some of them but not in others and many other views men can take. From then on he claims that a woman would be happy with a man that dislikes femininity, which, while true for some, would probably be very wrong for most people nowadays. Finally, there is nothing wrong with being feminine, from a moral standpoint. Nurturing life, protecting the home and being able to enjoy living are all great things that men and women should aspire to. All that, though, kind of misses the point, in my opinion. The most problematic part about his behavior is not his views. It's that he took a term most often used for discrimination towards women and some very hateful acts, and twisted it to make it look like a system of moral values. Imagine if someone were to say he's racist and proud of it, and then people would call him out on it, to which he'd say "I actually mean that I don't like the ghetto culture that Black people live in that everyone else romanticises!" That would be horribly insensitive to what this word means to other people and, if you were aware of the common meaning of the word, is just a dick move.

[@jadziajan]

(Around 11:00) I think it's a slippery slope to assume that whenever an author writes something nasty, it means they agree with it, "this is part of them". We have zero context here so we could project the idea that this is just a horrible character being written by someone who has every intention to point out this is awful. (I have little hope, being that it wound up in this subreddit, but I'm using it as an example.) It's the argument that if you write something it necessarily means it's part of you I disagree with - whenever survivors try to take inspiration from their lives, to write about their experiences, they're at risk of being accused of their own trauma because of this idea. In fiction, you can write things you disagree with completely.

[@sunnyquinn3888]

I've heard another guy complain about women doing just the opposite, NOT getting to the point.

[@RPGLover87]

It's hilarious to complain about out of order storytelling because the mysteries only work because you get the ending first, and have to get clues to figure out how the characters got there, otherwise there is no mystery. Many of the best games tell their stories nonlinearly too to deliberately fuck with the player, like Siren and Somnium Files

[@FederalBurroOfInvestigation]

I like your content and don't know anything about that book, but I'm pretty sure if an author creates a character that is different from themselves (like let's say serial killers in mystery novels), it doesn't HAVE to mean they think like those characters, even if parts of the book are in that character's perspective.

I personally prefer historical accuracy in history-based movies. If there's no accurate representation of that time, there's no point in calling a movie history based. It's just pure fiction then. If a time period or a setting was full of sexism and homophobia and all stuff like that, then it's how the story should depict it. If it aims to be history accurate, that is.

I read that water part, and I'd like to rewrite it. {As she dipped into the water, submerging, her hair flowed behind her, now glossy from the shining water. It felt like the water nearly carressed her in a sweet hug, as if it didn't want to let go. She then rose back to the surface, though she looked magestic, she was spitting out a bit of water. She cackled a little bit, as it looked a bit stupid after that magestic underwater pose.}

[@averysmolbrownie3856]

Anyone who says there’s a “correct way” to tell a story is condescending, arrogant, a bad storyteller, or all of the above. It’s art, and in art there is no “right” or “wrong”. There’s what you like and what you don’t like, but regardless of personal opinion or the rules one believes there to be, at the end of the day it’s still art. Example, I don’t like readymades, they break all the rules when it comes to what many perceive to be art, but they still count as art.
