Bookstore flips male authors

So, a day without women turns into 2 weeks for the all female staff of this bookstore to highlight women's books by turning male authored books around.
So, why is their an 'author gap?' It's because females suck at writing. It's been true forever in every culture. Anais Nin tried to explain it away with 'women don't have a room where they can write.'
In the 1980s some feminists asserted that Shakespeare did not really exist. It was a gang of women authors who wrote under his name because they knew female work wouldn't sell.
Zach took a lit course in 'Famous Women Authors'. Why? Because baseball practice screwed my schedule and it was the only lit class during the hour I had free.
I was shocked at how pathetic the 10 book required reading list was. But I couldn't think of any books by females that could have been included in their stead.
Why can't women write? It's because females cannot send and receive messages accurately. The information gets filtered through the female brain and becomes incoherent.

Sounds like a bad business plan.

How'd your espresso and newspaper treat you this morning, Zack?

So So. The Chinese girl forgets that I like foam on the top. It adds extra oxygen to enhance the taste. I forget to advise her of this because she only works morning shift on Sunday. If I told her after the fact then she'd insist on making it over and I'd feel bad about that.

So, Margaret Mitchell, Pearl Buck, Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen, Eudora Welty, Daphne du Maurier, etc., etc. are oh, just average writers that could never match anything written by male writers?!?! Come on, you know better! I don't condone feminist bi---es, but can't condone your sad generalization either! Try again!

Makes sense. Ayn Rand's books had great stories but the dialogue, pace, and details really suffered.
Same thing with JK Rowling. Maybe the best selling woman author of all time. Stories and characters were always fantastic but she struggled terribly with continuity, details..and creating a made up wizard sport where the rules actually made sense.

I bet S.E. Cupp is pretty good, too, just at other stuff.

Ever hear of Marie Curie? Or did they skip that part at whatever school you went to? Geez.

So they celebrate Women's history by undermining the sales of male authors?
Sounds like a shitty book store. Something the cast of Portlandia would do if they had books with male authors.

And anyway, Pierre discovered polonium and radium, Marie just took credit for it.
