(Anonymous) 2014-05-12 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)the secret is about reading slash romance, so I assumed OP is comparing m/m romance to m/f romance, not friendship. It might just be my perspective and the way I ship slash? I fetishize m/m sex, not friendship. I see their emotions as equivalent to mine for the most part.
If OP has internalized flawed media that tells her that men are more fully realized characters capable of deeper emotional connection... that's what I mean by internalized misogyny? Because it's not only that men value non-sexual relationships with men over those with women (as you seem to have experienced) it's that I see the secret as implicit agreement with it. Which is by no means the only way to interpret it! It's just one way, and I was surprised to see it missing from the discussion.
