I'm sick of everyone dissecting women's preferences
No, this isn't about dating
i know this is a platform for essays, and i love reading those at 3am when i can't sleep, but sometimes, it's really nice to just share my little opinions about little things that rile me up.
case in point, dissecting why women like this, love that, prefer this, hate that. i didn't really notice it, until a bunch of "why women love horror movies/genre/things" came out, and it started to rub me in such a wrong way. don't get me wrong, i believe such analyses are important, beneficial even, but not when we're constantly bombarded by them.
yes, this is low-key a rant. no, i didn't think this through. yes, i am fem presenting. no, i'm not trying to be "not like the other girls." yes, i want to be exactly like all the other girls women.
before anyone comes for me, i don't have a degree in writing or literature or anything related to humanities. my only qualifications are being a yapper, having strong opinions, and being from Balkan (the last one is more of a brag, really). this is not a deep dive, it's a lil drabble about being annoyed by women and their behaviour constantly being hyperanalysed and dissected to the bone, especially compared to men.
why do men love action movies? it appeals to them and their masculinity. the end.
why can't things simply appeal to women and their -inities as well? why do we need all these longform articles that try to force us in one woman-shaped mould? why can't we all just be our own weirdos persons?
i'm tired, y'all. i'm just tired. i know i'm using way too many words to describe a simple thing, but i just need to get it out of me. again, no hate to authors of those articles, and i don't think those articles are bad, or offensive to me or anyone else. i just wish picking apart anything we like as another mean of picking women apart would stop.
