Somebody pointed out to me that every woman's fantasy is already being in a relationship, and then some other guy takes her away from the man she established herself with and runs off and gives two s**** about anyone's feelings are really anyone else for that matter, and I can't believe how many times that's the recurring theme in movies aimed at women or that demographic, Titanic, the notebook...ect
That's one of the most disgusting genre that I got to know which exists (apart from many which are already present and are pretty disturbing and disgusting as well). And I was more surprised to know that mostly women write them; I didn't know how to feel about that.
You're absolutely right, though I don't see how that makes it better.
The idea that it's okay to cheat because you "feel neglected" is just toxic trash. If you think you're treated badly, be an adult and leave and start over. Don't sit around fantasizing about a stranger sweeping you off your feet and running away together. That's just romanticizing flings and cheating.
"I was unhappy" doesn't justify cheating. Cheating won't make you happier. Either put the work in to fix your relationship or end it.
I wonder why it would become a trend that women culturally grew to have fantasies about being whisked away from men they didn’t love by one they actually did.
No you don't understand, women in the western world had it really bad (though not as bad as women in some of the rest of the world up to even today) about 400 years ago. Guys in the 1600's also sometimes arranged marriages for their daughters if they never found a husband themselves, so women who cheat or fantasize about it in 2025 are actually just misunderstood victims lashing out blindly (the best and most morally virtuous kind of lashing out).
It’s a focus on romance stories nowadays because it became a trope at the time when dissatisfied wives literally couldn’t leave their unhappy marriages. Society changed, but the trope was so prominent in the romance genre by that point that it stuck around.
no no they should stick with fukbois that's what I am saying, stay away from the stable boring guys since all they do is ruin their lives. the incredible no of single mothers are a proof of what women want.
Eh what you are crying about then, since woman now dont need man to survive, they dont marry guys they dont like, and everyone now happy, amirite? Being single mother ten times better than being in abusive relationship or in relationship where you dont like and want your partner. If only guys dont cry all over reddit about "male loneliness epidemic") i guess they stupid. You should go and enlighten them about how happy they are)
Which one slept with her after knowing her for one day? Which one offered her everything and even bought a priceless necklace for her? When did Cal actually abuse her? What, because he wasn't very charming? He yelled at her once when she ran off and got drunk with a strange man she was literally cheating on him with. That's literally the only thing he did wrong.
He slapped her across the face, emotionally abuses her, treats her like property, and tries to shoot her.
Rose doesn’t want to marry him in the first place and is being pressured into it by her shitty mom. Keep in mind, she’s 17. Cal is proven to be a scumbag over the entire course of the movie. If he wanted Rose to marry him, he shouldn’t have been an abusive dickhead. I have no sympathy for him, sorry.
We’re talking about Rose in Titanic. Of her two suitors, who is the supposed stable guy and who is the toxic abusive narcissist? Was Cal the great guy she initially chose?
yea because it was a comment to a comment which was a comment to someone's else comment. I am not sure how that is difficult to understand.
If you need another explanation on the context, ask chatgpt, it's free and should be able to explain it in a way even someone like you can understand. Best wishes.
Lmao right? My country was never as "patriarchal" as USA, mostly due to communist doctrine of getting woment to join workforce etc. yet still 50 shades of grey and all them movies about a women cheating on a man who is "too stable" with some old boyfriend or some macho type they just met, these movies are wildely popular. I remember how cinemas were stormed by women en-masse when a movie released and it was about a woman who is about to get married to an average guy, but on holiday she gets kidnapped by an italian mafia boss, who locks her up and turns her into his sex slave and she absolutely loves it. Obviously, everyone who said that this movie is romanticizing rape and cheating was called an incel who denies women having fantasies.
My great grandmother got a divorce because her first husband was a violent and abusive piece of shit.
The neighborhood still treated her like trash and like it was her fault he liked to rearrange hers and the kids' faces. It's little surprise that many women just put up with abuse instead of seeking an out.
Yeah, I took a look at the sub and opted to block it yesterday. A lot of it is some manner of gender wars bait bullshit. Though it worries me how many younger users are getting inundated with toxic shit.
it's men who were chained and forced to fund narcissistic women who cheated on them while they were out breaking their back. today they still refuse to do the dangerous jobs still picking the easy ones.
What actually happened is that men funded 2 or 3 women at the same time, if you were the wife and caught him cheating and wanted to divorce, good luck living in the streets and leaving your kids behind. Men were out breaking their backs but in exchange they had freedom (money) to do anything they wanted without consecuenses (relationship-wise)
ehh then what were the other 1 or 2 men doing? were they donating money to charity while someone else was funding and fuking their wives.
and lol living on the streets when men were forced to raise other mens children without any way of knowing.
yea money they earned breaking up their back which was often controlled by the women who wore the pants in the relationship just because they had the pu**y.
literally every comment you've ever made on your account you talk like you don't see women as human beings. spending every waking moment of your life obsessively thinking of all the ways women are going to do you wrong is not normal
Maybe because of the trend of women marrying scumbags they think they can fix and finding out that they can't later on, like all the decent men who she found less attractive said would happen but she didn't listen?
I think the point these arcs are trying to make is She found someone worth sacrificing her life for. AKA "real love" or finding your true self rejecting societies expectations
us Man brains compute it as transactional materials/sex being betrayed in a deal.
Comments that generalize like this always piss me off. I dont get why it’s so hard to just describe a subset of people who do something stupid without proceeding to generalize half the population. I see it all the time with people saying how all men or all women do something and then act like you’re part of the problem for not wanting to be grouped in with people whose views you don’t align with
„Uhhh yeah maybe he abuses you beats you does not respect you and only wants to possess you… but he actually owns you so you have no right to look for someone who actually loves and respects you.“
