I’m talking like Ursula or the French spider from from James and the giant peach. Don’t give me some conventionally attractive humans (though humans are totally allowed) please.
Personally mine was Goldie from Rock-a-doodle. I probably watched that movie 100 times on VHS as a kid.
I’m sure there’s a psychologist that has something to say about the general trends between the genders on this topic.
Why are women more attracted to abstract things that may not resemble as man at all while most men require that they at least vaguely resemble a woman?
Who knows.
Because the patriarchy conditions men to be awful to women, and women to be nice to men. Women are more likely to develop resentment towards men and look elsewhere for their tastes.
I would argue instead that while patriarchy encourages people to overvalue oversexualized beauty in women, and does encourage men to be dipshits towards them, that would cause women to overvalue kindness and gentleness in their non threatening, masculine related fantasies. Maybe I’m overgeneralizing, but I am thinking of Bandit Heeler, or that fucking toothbrush
Yikes. I guess that’s certainly one way to view the world.
The fact that misogyny exists and has psychological consequences is a yikes?
