fuck-yeah-sylvia-plath: nineteencallme: dolorimeter: woody allen, the irredeemable creep whose obvious misogyny was misinterpreted as creative genius by the college-boy mentality. #gosh i wonder why sylvia plath’s poetry is important to young women when we’re bombarded with so much misogynistic literature written by ~the greats~ of the 20th century #if you want to talk about highly romanticized and overrated writers we can talk about bukowski hemingway kerouac ginsberg and so on #who were not only basic writers but were also vile people irl #i don’t understand how people can idolize pedophiles and wife beaters and then mock people who like plath? ~fionaapples ^^THIS. I never got Hemingway, I always wanted to stab my eyes out reading him and he was horrible to all his wives. At the end of the day, Plath could actually WRITE so it’s misogyny to assume we love her solely because we “romanticized” her suicide, as if she wasn’t talented in her own right. -- source link
