I resent you for waging a very long, one sided gender war and then acting like male resentment for that is both surprising and unfair.

>Last Thread: >Song of the Day: youtu.be/C-5iXUq6bOw >Anna Karenina Ch1 Bk1: >Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. This is a disjointed theme promise >The next paragraph is also a plot promise but an average reader wouldn't know that for certain unless they knew roughly what the book is about, which thus precludes The effective advantage of making promises > Stiva is a dandy prince and sleeping on the couch. For such a history of uncompromising sexism feminists scream about all the time, there are a lot of husbands getting brow beaten by their wives through history. I recall being told that the origin of this joke in bad sitcoms was a reaction to overly patriarchal sitcoms from the 50's, but books like this show that was never the case. >worked for him by his wife on gold-colored morocco. Mrs. Oblonsky is diligent despite their wealth. Buying him slippers would have been easy. Making him something is a sweeter gesture. >the smile vanished from his face, he knitted his brows. The contrast is useful because it tells us the stakes of current events. Stiva is usually carefree, but the strain on his marriage from this infidelity is the direct cause of his stress. >all my fault, though I'm not to blame. That's the point of the whole situation I'm not sure what to interpret Stiva's lack of personal responsibility for his actions is to mean yet, but Tolstoy marked it as "the point" of this chapter. >forever fussing and worrying over household details, and limited in her ideas The focus switches to "Dolly" her diligence to Stiva makes him feel like she's anxious boring un-creative and exhausting and this is probably where Tolstoy originates his motivations for the affair. >"It's that idiotic smile that's to blame for it all," Zero responsibility taken. Very common.
That's a very picturesque kitty. Doing anything this weekend?
>Are you feeling any better? How are you doing? Yes ish. My throat is still raw and my nose is stuffy. I have to do some cleaning today. I might go to a festival or a picnic or hit up a museum this weekend. Idk. Lots of choices.

The last thread was brutal, a lot of posters trying to derail it and force you to stop posting this series. Hopefully, there will be more peace now.

Meh, It was 3 but only 1 wasn't retarded and I don't consider them significant enough to warrant a special mention like this.

>gutenberg.org/files/1399/1399-h/1399-h.htm This is great, thanks so much! He is, isn't he? I think he looks giant among all those tiny twigs I'm going to visit my family on Sunday but that's about it :( It's been really hard for me to find ways to spend my time lately I'm surprised you still feel like cleaning! If you were to go for the picnic, would you be the one making the food?

Not that you'll care, but it's you who's waging the gender war. I've never seen a single female post about her blanket resentment of men. You, on the other hand, bitch about women all hours of the day like you have nothing better to do.

> Sunday but that's about it :( That's okay user. > It's been really hard for me to find ways to spend my time lately Why is that? > I'm surprised you still feel like cleaning! I want to do more but now i feel tiiired. I'm still gonna do it but now im grumbly. > If you were to go for the picnic, would you be the one making the food? Just for myself. Or there might be something i can buy. But i might aswell go pickup some sashimi and put it in a cooler with some iced tea and enjoy the area meet some people etc. >Not that you'll care, but it's you who- You're right i don't

>You're right i don't And it's to your detriment. Other people are out there actually enjoying their lives and you're here arguing with me. My wife gets home on monday and then I can just forget about you. You'll still be here monday, and the day after, and the day after that. Is resenting women really worth this much effort, especially when they way you go about has no chance to achieve anything?

Anna Karennina Ch2: >He was incapable of deceiving himself and persuading himself that he repented of his conduct. He could not at this date repent of the fact that he, a handsome, susceptible man of thirty-four, was not in love with his wife, the mother of five living and two dead children, and only a year younger than himself. All he repented of was that he had not succeeded better in hiding it from his wife. All men are pigs. >He had even supposed that she, a worn-out woman no longer young or good-looking, and in no way remarkable or interesting, merely a good mother, ought from a sense of fairness to take an indulgent view. It had turned out quite the other way. Jesus fuck lol. >Stepan Arkadyevitch saw Matvey wanted to make a joke and attract attention to himself. I'm not sure which of these two is the attention whore, Matvey if he prioritizes looking cool on such an obviously tense situation or Stiva if he's just imagining it because he's such a self centered dandy. >"Matvey, my sister Anna Arkadyevna will be here tomorrow,"... his master, realized the significance of this arrival--that is, that Anna Arkadyevna, the sister he was so fond of, might bring about a reconciliation between husband and wife. Stiva is peculiarly deferential to his sister if he expects her to clean up his marriage messes instead of making them significantly worse. >Although Stepan Arkadyevitch was completely in the wrong as regards his wife, and was conscious of this himself, almost everyone in the house (even the nurse, Darya Alexandrovna's chief ally) was on his side. Curious. What for? >She is suffering so, it's sad to see her; and besides everything in the house is topsy-turvy. You must have pity, sir, on the children. This relates to the theme promise. The novel and people therein are not so much concerned with moralities of individuals but the existential threat this infidelity has created for a prized family unit. It is up to Stiva to fix it, so he has everyone's support.
>>He had even supposed that she, a worn-out woman no longer young or good-looking, and in no way remarkable or interesting, merely a good mother, ought from a sense of fairness to take an indulgent view. It had turned out quite the other way. Stiva is based. That's all there is to it.
Anna Karennina Ch3: >1st paragraph is just that Stiva lives a pampered life >2nd paragraph intersects money with family matters and notes some cynicism involved when the two are mixed. >When he had finished his letters, Stepan Arkadyevitch moved the office-papers close to him, rapidly looked through two pieces of business, made a few notes with a big pencil, and pushing away the papers, turned to his coffee. As he sipped his coffee, he opened a still damp morning paper, and began reading it. Stiva is a lazy sonofabitch beauracrat with a job that shouldn't exist. >Stepan Arkadyevitch took in and read a liberal paper, not an extreme one, but one advocating the views held by the majority. kek, lol even. > And in spite of the fact that science, art, and politics had no special interest for him, he firmly held those views on all these subjects which were held by the majority and by his paper, and he only changed them when the majority changed them...Stepan Arkadyevitch had not chosen his political opinions or his views; these political opinions and views had come to him of themselves, just as he did not choose the shapes of his hat and coat, but simply took those that were being worn. Stiva is a normie chad. >The liberal party said that in Russia everything is wrong, and certainly Stepan Arkadyevitch had many debts and was decidedly short of money. The liberal party said that marriage is an institution quite out of date, and that it needs reconstruction; and family life certainly afforded Stepan Arkadyevitch little gratification, and forced him into lying and hypocrisy, which was so repulsive to his nature. The liberal party said, or rather allowed it to be understood, that religion is only a curb to keep in check the barbarous classes of the people; Ah, the good old days. >He has kids i guess >[T]o set right their relations was impossible, because it was impossible to make her attractive again and able to inspire love[.] No mercy.
>women were glorified housemaids and couldn't vote till the last century >still regularly shirked and abused to this day m-men are the one's who're oppressed you guys seriously I read books you guys it just makes sense you guys seriously

Anna Karennnnina ch4: >Darya Alexandrovna, in a dressing jacket, and with her now scanty, once luxuriant and beautiful hair fastened up with hairpins on the nape of her neck, with a sunken, thin face and large, startled eyes, which looked prominent from the thinness of her face, was standing among a litter of all sorts of things scattered all over the room, before an open bureau, from which she was taking something. She looks like shit, hasn't washed, and isn't eating from the neurotic stress. >She still continued to tell herself that she should leave him, but she was conscious that this was impossible; it was impossible because she could not get out of the habit of regarding him as her husband and loving him. Alpha widowed. She'll let Chad-Stiva get away with anything. >They argue but it's like those 50's noir movie kind of arguments where a hysterical woman is making really exaggerated breathy hysterics waiting for Stiva to grab her by the neck and fuck her against a wall. then he just says fuck it and leaves and Tolstoy feeds us another blackpill: >"And how I loved him! my God, how I loved him!... How I loved him! And now don't I love him? Don't I love him more than before?" This slut has totally fallen in love with her husband a second time because he's proven that he's able to get more girls on the side. Someone from reddit needs to start censoring all this incel shit. Tolstoy is clearly a fascist bigot if he's making fun of liberal views and asserting blackpills about women.
I sort of feel like I have other more important things to do but then instead of doing the important things I just sit at home doing nothing That sounds great! I'm jealous :) I would get the sashimi and iced tea if I were you.. Maybe you could sneak it into the museum and have a museum picnic??
