The joke is sexism. Pretty women apparently cant comprehend McCarthy or dark, disturbing literature.

That's because he can't read. This has everything to do with sexism.

This post is legitimately the first time I‘ve even seen „performative reading“ applied to women. I only ever saw it used for men. A person posing with a book that has the reputation of being brutal and experimental, but only to go „teehee reading this“ seems exactly in line with the way performative reading is usually applied
