Re: Fuck you Fandom secrets.

Ehhhh... I'd say that women are shown A male perspective, not THE male perspective. And that perspective is sharply limited and does not reflect the lived experiences of a majority of men.

Not all men, certainly.

But I do think men's stories dominate a good deal. And so women get a pretty decent cross-section of what male-ness means.

Women's stories are rarer and they're more stringent in some ways. I remember, for example, when Pixar was FINALLY going to have female protagonist be their main star in a film, I was happy. But then it turned into yet another "princess has to get married but doesn't want to -- with a twist!" story. And I felt really let down because that's been done SO. MANY. TIMES.

Compare that to the richness and diversity of male protagonists (even if they are non-human) and it's depressing.

I think this is true to an extent. Anon who also replied has a point but so do you.

What we do see is a broad range of experiences that apply to (white) cis straight men, imo. And of course we do get fed a lot of bullshit about what a ~~real~~ man's experience is like, but men get fed that shit too and that exists on the female side as well.
