Re: Tumblr and attraction to men?

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's another form of socialized patriarchy we impose upon ourselves and others.

I think women are raised to believe their power lies in the man they support so we play out that role by picking our fave guy and we just love and defend him like the loyal wife we're supposed to be. If we can prove to be the perfect wife we have won womanhood and therefore feel superior to all the other women out there.

That's a really basic breakdown of what I think drives so much of this back and forth and taking things a bit too seriously/far when it comes to stanning A Guy.

And some women IRL do that with the people in their lives. Sad to see relatives be awful to others all in service to their husband/boyfriend (who is usually a POS).

Nah, I kinda disagree. I came across the wikipedia page about Amelia Dyer the other day (who's been cited as possibly the most prolific, successful serial killer in history) and it's haunting stuff. We perennially have Jack the Ripper again, in incarnation whatever, with new actor whoever, while I'd literally never heard of this woman. She would make a great villain protagonist, and she's incredibly rooted in a historical period when infanticide was a lot more common because abortion was illegal and the English state apparatus had rolled back its laws on child support for fathers of illegitimate children. So this sinister and quite possibly mentally ill lady literally made her living from young working women who paid her a lump sum, expecting her to give the poor baby they would be fired if anyone knew they'd given birth to a good life, and instead of raising them, she would strangle the infants and dump them in the river. No one knows exactly how many she killed, the estimate hovers around a stunning 400, but this was the extreme form of a known crime in that time period in England: "baby-farming."

And apparently we can't have fictionalized accounts of that because the canon creators are too busy rehashing the stories of villains who are men.

But really, no one knows the scope of what women would stan if they had it. While what keeps being made (and remade) is incredibly narrow.
