V.S. Naipaul x Women & Their Narrow View Of The World

V.S. Naipaul is a Nobel prize-winning Trinidadian-British writer, recently ranked 7th on its list of the 50 greatest postwar British writers. Apparently though, he doesn't quite know how to keep his foot out of his mouth. Naipaul is under scrutiny as of late for his remarks on female writers.

The Guardian's Amy Fallon reports:

In an interview at the Royal Geographic Society on Tuesday about his career, Naipaul ... was asked if he considered any woman writer his literary match. He replied: "I don't think so." Of [Jane] Austen he said he "couldn't possibly share her sentimental ambitions, her sentimental sense of the world". Women are "sentimental," and their "narrow view of the world" makes them inferior writers, accoring to Naipaul.

He felt that women writers were "quite different". He said: "I read a piece of writing and within a paragraph or two I know whether it is by a woman or not. I think [it is] unequal to me." ...

[He added:] "And inevitably for a woman, she is not a complete master of a house, so that comes over in her writing too."

Personally, I am glad that sexist ideology has taught me that I shouldn't bother with math, cause boy do I hate that shit, and now, I don't have to worry about writing! essentuolly, a man will louk over this post adn edit it fro me so i dont hvae to worri abot mai grammer, sentement or sentance strukture. Yay!
