2/10 but nice demonstration of just how it is SJWs are ruining everything.

Let me guess, you identify with Mitty. Sorry for your pathetic, ineffectual lot.

Actually I identify with the small subset of book readers (few and far between that we are) who are sick and tired of seeing 1984-like Newspeak slapped onto any and every thing that is NOT some overly-fetishistic bland narrative of FIGHTING TEH OPPPRESHUUUUNNN for otherwise unremarkable people who should actually be considered as, IDK, people, instead of being railroaded into being defined solely by which slots on the Oppreshun Bingo Card that they fill.

Also! The very point of the book is NOT to identify with Mitty, but rather to shamefacedly laugh at his expense, and recognize that the Aesop is to not run away from your problems. No matter how fantastic and fun you think the place you're running away to actually is.

Rereading your comment, and mine, it occurs to me, little SJW, that you probably have not even read the book in question yourself, and are merely inanely parroting the Newspeak synopis of the book that your little SJW friends have mouthed in the past. Talk to me again when you are no longer a slave to oppressive groupthink.

Actually, I read "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" a very long time ago--it's a short story, BTW, and the fact that you keep calling it "the book" suggests that if anyone here hasn't read it and has had to resort to someone else's synopsis of it, that person is you. The portrayal of Walter's wife as an oppressively stupid, emasculating and infantilizing nag has stuck with me for years, and Thurber hints pretty strongly that it's she who has forced Walter into his dream life to compensate for the daily life in which she treats him as a useless incompetent child. Yes, you're supposed to shamefacedly laugh at Walter Mitty--the keyword here being shamefacedly, because if you're honest, you'll realize that you're more like him than you like to admit. In other words, if you're honest, you should identify with him.

Reading your comment and mine, little ranter, it occurs to me that nothing you've said here has much application to my comment. You just regurgitated a mess of undigested stuff you saw on anti-SJ sites, the instant you saw the word "misogyny."
