I think a lot of male writers don't get women, period. There's this persistent thinking that women are alien and indecipherable compared to men and can't possibly feel or think the same way. I'm also reminded of this scene with Jack Nicholson from As Good as it Gets:

...I had never seen this film and I watched this scene and now I hate everything

It's kind of an awful plot. Jack Nicholson is a gigantic misogynist asshole best selling novelist who somehow ends up with Helen Hunt, a woman 26 years his junior who for some reason puts up with his horrible behavior. It's supposedly a romantic comedy.

I hate Jack Nicholson on principle; he's evil; he just is. But isn't the character supposed to be on the autistic spectrum or something? The movie kinda makes sense to me in that light.

Re: Inspired by #4

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and if you believe that being OCD also means you can't help being a misogynist and homophobe, then sure, it makes sense that he's that way. I personally don't believe that, however, and I'm inclined to think that mental illness isn't really an excuse for behaving like a douchebag.

I had no desire to watch the film before, and now I have, if possible, even less. Thank you for rescuing me from it.

He does kind of 'get it' at the end, and the friendship between Helen Hunt and the other guy (who i can't remember right now) is really sweet. It has some good points, for sure, but only like - one or two of them are JN's - the rest go to the rest of the cast.

I'd watch with my finger on the ff button.

Which, I think, follows on from a persistent belief that paying attention to what women say is either bad or useless

I don't think it's a coincidence, but most of the time I think it's more cluelessness and internalized sexism than outright malice.

Re: Inspired by #4

Oh, 100%, and I should have been more clear that I don't mean to imply that in a malicious way. I don't think it's even conscious. It just seems to be more or less the general operating principle.
