Norman Mailer's View of Women Writers

He thinks that all women writers are not good and women writers are just "whores". Mailer believes that no women writer's work is good, or up to the standards of any male writing. I do not agree with his ideas. I think he is being sexist and an ignorant prick. I think that just because a women wrote it doesn't mean it isn't good. Some writing material from men make no sense, and some from women make no sense. But in the end it's all equal, there are some good women writers, some bad and some good men writers and some bad ones.
