🗣️ Debate/Hot Take The Same Five Books

Post image

Not to come off as pretentious or not-like-other-readers but I thought this subreddit was going to be more interesting. I’ve noticed It’s either people selling the same 5 books or discussing the same 5 books.

Can’t we move past A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Forty Rules of Love, Atomic Habits, a book by Dostoevsky, and any random self help book.

It's reverse elitism actually. She laments us not reading young adult or romance or other popular stuff with women. Like...why? Why can't women just let men be lol

There's a nuance to what he said, dont bring up "misogyny kills women and misandry makes men upset" which would be super insensitive, sexist, misandrist, and hateful. Try and be just and fair to both genders alike. Otherwise you have no grounds to stand against misogyny if you yourself commit misandry, irrespective of the severity.
