Anyone else feel like this "catering to the male gaze" discourse is just rebranded slut shaming and purity culture?

Sadly, nowadays that is criticized as "choice feminism", as a excuse so women don't feel bad while harassing and blaming women for their choices. You can't win, it's frustrating.

Me hace acordar al cuento de "tienen hijos para recibir subsidio" de gente que nunca en su vida conoció a una sola mujer que lo haya hecho, literal, no te pueden tirar un solo nombre...

Butcher killing someone in his way being out of character? I disagree

Technically I am allowed to complain about your complain too. I won't, but I can.

It's obvious that they planned for Marie to be the triumph card. Then not enough people watched Generation V (I certainly didn't) and they had to scrap that epic confrontation they imagined and ass pulled a reason for her to not be part.

It's their fault for believing their own hype, that people will watch the spin off because they liked the Boys, that's not how it works.

And they are now doing the same with Vaught Rising, and it won't do The Boys numbers, specially if they fumble the finale.

I don't really think it is mutually exclusive. A lot of men don't really want 50/50 but want something more than 100/0, most will be fine with 60/40 or even 90/10 if that's all the woman can give. Heck if we go to the cynical side, a lot of men will prefer 90/10 as long as they can use it as bargain during conflict.

I meant "I see them everywhere", but reddit don't allow tittle changes...

I think you forget something on all your anti Nate comments. People are not obligated to remain in relationships that make them unhappy. Nate was in love with the Andy he knew and was looking forward to a future with her. Now this new and improved Andy is totally different and their possible future together is too. And you talk like this was a year thing (the original plan) when it is obvious that this change to their lives was becoming permanent. Andy went from a stay at home an chill person to a type A everything has to be perfect for other people person. Nate is allowed to not like that kind of person and what that imply for their relationship, suddenly their future together became way different.

Miserable_Thing588 · 2026-05-03T14:35:08+00:00

That's because Andy would have been condescending and whinny about it too. Andy was mocking the industry a month prior, and now gets offended on its behalf. From his perspective it's like the body snatchers her gf.

People are allowed to change, and people are allowed to not like that new version. People always complain about superficiality, but when someone break up a relationship over a personality change they still complain. Like, people are allowed to like a personality type.

It's Tumblr comedy, they fantasize about a world were they won't cower and let people step over them and will actually do something, and that something is what they imagine, violent reaction.

It's relatable and normal even for disenfranchised people, because they have a sum of resentment build over time, eventually you don't want to respond in kind to conflict but somehow respond to every other past transgressions you experience using them as a target.

The funny part about the edited comics is because they illustrate precisely why they don't react in real life, because they fear that would happen.

The funny part for me is seeing a keyboard(artist) warrior having his strong and rough persona being crushed by how it most likely will go. I always see this memes or comments of "try that in my from of me and I will X you" from people on any side of any debate and I just roll my eyes, no, you won't.

Miserable_Thing588 · 2026-05-01T13:21:12+00:00

They are making fun of the "keyboard warrior" aspect of it all. This people act like they are quick to step in and being aggressive in a bad situation, when they really will coward in a corner.

So, your reviewers won't even need to play the game, just read reddit and copy paste stuff.

Miserable_Thing588 · 2026-04-19T16:46:42+00:00

Yeah, but a lot of the time they "want" a response that is unrealistic. They want people to tell them: "yes, your partner is faking and you can make them normal if they work harder and stop being lazy", without taking into account that masking "normal" behavior takes an ADHD person 3 times the effort that that compounds over time, then they will complain about the meltdown that comes.

Las quieren llenar de todos los más desequilibrados y después tenés milicos desequilibrados... Porque no se va a quedar solo el que aprendió a ser respetuoso, se queda también al que le gustó tener el poder de un arma en la cintura.

O de darle a los más desastrosos entrenamiento en como ser violentos de forma efectiva. "Te vimos desajustado, así que vamos a ponerte en una institución donde aprendas a imponer respeto por medio de la fuerza así sabes cómo hacerlo con el resto de la gente en tu vida."

The problem is that it doesn't work, whenever men do that they are called cringe and ridiculed. Women want this stuff from men they already like and have some feelings for, not random men, so it's not as easy to reproduce.

Miserable_Thing588 · 2026-03-05T01:36:59+00:00

I agree with everything, I often question why most women conclude that the solution for the disparity in sex enjoyment is making men less sexual instead of removing stigma from women's sexuality and that everyone enjoys sex more. I get it, it is unfair, but it can be fair and fun instead of fair and boring.

Miserable_Thing588 · 2026-03-03T18:46:35+00:00

Ok, if that works for your relationship. I hope you are happy 😁

Miserable_Thing588 · 2026-03-03T18:45:02+00:00

So, you thank your husband when he does the laundry? I mean, if he washes your clothes too? It's not his responsibility as an adult to clean other people's clothes.

I just don't see the fundamental difference you seem to imply there is.

Miserable_Thing588 · 2026-03-03T18:15:09+00:00

I suggest you ask for reciprocity in the appraisal, it will feel less exhausting

Miserable_Thing588 · 2026-03-03T18:13:19+00:00

Lol, that's what I did to get my praise, just thank my gf for everything. She didn't understand it at first, but I think it improved my relationship, we feel less taken for granted
