MRAs seem to seriously hate Valenti in particular for some reason. I don't think that most of her articles are that memorable but I love the title of this article

No. I just think that article is a load of bollocks is all. In my time, I've serially bought albums by the likes of Bjork and PJ Harvey. I buy my 'art' depending on whether it piques my interest (or not) - I don't feel a need to maintain some sort of PC quota.

You are better than this OU.
I have read the article. I don't think this is the thread to get into an in depth discussion on the topic.

I'm more offended by the first line of that god-awful article, to be honest.
Just fuck off right now you snooty liberal shit.

Fascist!
Yes, imagine buying art that interests you rather than to fulfil a PC quota!! Worse than Hitler!
I posed a couple of questions btl. One of my fave books of recent years is Never Let Me Go - written by a man, but narrated by a female character. How does that figure in the picture? Would have I been less sexist by devoting the time to reading 50 Shades of Grey instead?

Yes, we've established that. But why?

I think this says more about your prejudices than it does about your preferences.

She's clearly suggesting one should have a minimum number of books by female writers. If you don't have any books written by homosexuals/non-whites/disabled authors, does that also make you something-ist? In actually not caring about the creator, just the quality of the art and whether it interests me, I'd argue I easily transcend any sort of -isms.

no, it shows that i like to have something in common with the people i get close to, that's all.

No she isn't. You either haven't read it or have read it with your usual blinkered misogynistic agenda.

You're being a numpty. Explain to me why a misogynist would have been buying albums by Bjork and PJ Harvey... or love Mad Men, a programme with strong female characters and AFAIK has a number of female writers. I apply the same standards to female artists as I do male artists - they must make stuff that I see the quality in for me to buy it. I don't see how you can get any less sexist than that. You're the one hung up on gender - not me.
