20000 Leagues under the seas is the book I'm currently reading.
And - NO. I don't relate to any of the characters in this book. In fact, I passionately dislike most of them. It doesn't matter to me all the characters in this book are men so far. (Wow, I just realised not a single woman showed up or was even only mentioned in this book yet... Talk about patrialism in the 19th century 😅)
But that alone wouldn't matter to me. ⤵️
Males can be positive & wonderful and females can be awful & terrible. Being a man doesn't make you a repressive backwards person & being a woman doesn't make you a wonderful progressive beautiful person by default, as so many radically feminist people nowadays seem to believe. ⤵️ 8mo
So I'm not that firm a believer in feminism - at least not in the notion that 'old white men' should be inferior and more backwards to women by default. ⤵️

So far, again, not a single female has even been mentioned! 🫠
And the characters in this monstrous tome - I cannot relate to a single one of them. Not because they are all male, but because they are all so righteous. And boring. And backwards. And bigoted. And full of themselves and their importance.😑☠ (edited) 8mo
So - after a long rant😅 - no!!! I do not relate to any of the characters in this book. It doesn't matter whether they are male or female, even if they were asexual aliens or some kind of rock species.
They are all so arrogant and know-it-all and above everybody else it just sucks. 🤮

@ozma.of.oz Thank you Krysta for giving me the opportunity to vent my anger about this peace of world literature I seem to not particularly enjoy! 🤣👏 8mo
