they will crucify me for this but itβs not just straight men either sadly. i know quite a few queer women who heap scorn on that desire to a level most straight guys lack the language to achieve
I'm never getting over the fact that romance as a genre, as the HIGHEST selling genre, exists largely because straight women fantasize about being loved and treated kindly by men and men constantly make fun of this because they think it's just that unrealistic that they could cherish women and that women are stupid in the first place for wanting such an impossible thing.
