    "Hunger" is just beautiful. In a way that hurts and gives hope at the same time.

      What really incredible is that she answered "yes" for every question asked her by Mc Donalds employee.

    If you listen to this video with headphones on, you'll notice the audio is panned to the left side. So random lol

    Women aren't difficult if she truly loved women she wouldn't choose the book title. Not going for this anymore. Feminism can be destructive.

      Joe Bloggs & you would say anything to point out that she's fat. Have you read her new book, Hunger? We all, including Roxane, know she's fat. We also know, she's beautiful & intelligent & doesn't value petty opinions from men online. Go fuck yaself

    • @straycat3127
      @straycat3127 7 років тому +6

      She's objectively not beautiful and she is not amazingly intelligent either. I've read her short stories and they come no where near the intellect of any great short story writers like Chekov or Henry.
      BUT she has a smug, holier that thou attitude that doesn't match up with her talent.
      "Yaayy!! we have ourselves a half decent female writer, let's all suck her dick!!"

    • @straycat3127
      @straycat3127 7 років тому +5

      +vegangurly there is no flaw in the logic. She is literally worshipped by a clan of women who make it a point to be misandrist bullies. Go check her twitter feed. The point is why is she worth all that adulation if her work doesn't justify it?
      Her fanbase is mostly because she checks a lot of items on the liberal cool list. POC; check. Queer; check. Fat; check. Misandrist; check. Feminist; check.
      Everyone deserves the basic human right of being respected and that was never my point. What she receives goes far beyond basic human respect.

      Hunger was an excellent piece of non fiction, have you read it ? Also you can't even spell Chekhov and you're unable to compare her to one of her contemporaries to prove your point so I'd say maybe your knowledge in literature is more limited that what you're trying to show.

    1:00:47 “be open to working with white editors but be wary!” 🙄 I hate what Trump has done to this country that people even say stuff like this. There is no difference between our races. We all like history (the studying of it) and our cultural aspects but at the end of the day we have to realize that we all came from the same place. We all came from the same tribe of you go back far enough.

    我小的时候被外公外婆带大,那个家比较穷,不是我现在这种穷法,iPad和最低生活保障。我外公外婆的精神更穷困,他们很节约。但是我能吃饱,我还有零花钱,我读的学校里面都是穷人,有的小孩都吃不饱,他们回到家,除了吃不饱,还会被家长打骂,我们在学校都很快乐,没有人在乎那些强制要小孩子读的propaganda。现在想起来那个家很多问题,还好那个时候不管他们做啥子我都可以看进去书,不像富人家的小孩子
