I have been saving this rant for years. I finally am going to get it off my chest.

In high school we were required as a class to read the following book:

A short summary. Some dumb girl goes to a party at the beginning of the story, gets "raped" and then we get to explore all her feelz about the subject and how the cruel world won't believe in her problems. How no one in high school believes her. Wa, wa. It is incredibly feminized. Or another way to put it, it was fucking literally the most boring story I have ever read. NOTHING happened throughout the vast majority of the story. It was mainly going through this dumb girl's feelz in her art class where she made freaky sculptures out of turkey bones and wore weird clothes. All things I couldn't care less about.

The "climax" involves the the women's tennis team coming to the rescue against the evil rapist wielding tennis rackets. I can't express in words how truly lame this scene was. And in fact, it made the book even worse in my mind because it was the ONE point where something almost happened in the entire story. It was like "oh finally, something interesting will happen". Nope, it was a big fucking tease. It got just close enough to an actual event of interest (without delivering) to point out how horribly uneventful the book was. It was like the author was trying to rub salt into the wound of boredom by creating this contrasting almost-event.

Now let's talk about the "rape" scene itself. Why do I put rape in quotation marks? As a fictional story it should be pretty easy to make it a real rape scene, right? Right?! You'd think so, but you would be wrong. You see the "rape" scene has much more in common with a female sexual fantasy they would masturbate to than to an actual rape. 50 shades of grey for high school girls. Tamed down enough to pass. You see the "rapist" was the most alpha guy in high school. He was the most popular guy, played on the sports team, was physically super attractive, was smart. Perfect fantasy man. The author didn't believe in brevity when it came to describing the alpha characteristics of this guy. (being a straight guy, fuck reading this was awkward and undesired) In fact, the "victims" internal dialogue as described him as "a greek god". He then dominates her and they do the horizontal mambo. She then regrets the experience and the rest of the book is about how sad she is. I remember thinking "WTF" at how her description of this guy indicating clearly she wanted to screw him but then she gets mad afterward. This made literally no sense. I now know that Female fantasy rape fiction is a popular genre, and this rape scene fits into that category. But at the time I had no idea about this aspect of female psychology so allmywut.jpg.

I vividly remember how much I hated this fucking book. There were a few times I was so frustrated with this crappy story that I almost ripped the book to pieces. Of course, this was well before I knew anything about the red pill, or feminism, or even general politics. My reaction to the story was very hard to define at the time, but it was a natural uninfluenced reaction. It was as if I knew innately or instinctively that this shit sucked. At the time all I could say was that it poorly written and boring. It wasn't until the insights of the red pill that I could really put everything into perspective and explain why it was horrible.

I now view the experience as a form of psychological torture on the part of the school system (and specifically the feminist elements therein). They were trying to social engineer me (and the other boys) not to be rapists. Trying to train us that anytime some dumb bitch claims rape, she needs to be believed automatically and the boy needs to be crucified. To force us to read something that has almost no active scenes, a type of storytelling that is naturally and correctly repugnant to the psychology of boys.

One of the worst things to consider about this book is the prizes and awards it has won. This is a perfect example of feminist/progressive circle jerking. It was awarded these things because it works to advance the feminist narrative (specifically the neurotic obsession they have with fantasizing about rape) of society and could be used as an indoctrination tool against young boys, not because it was a good piece of writing.

Fuck the school system. Fuck feminists. Fuck progressives. And fuck this book.
