It's still ingrained in us to find those stages attractive, we just don't need to have children at such a young age anymore because we have options that are adults.

Women are female. 😂 Childlike doesn't mean childish, it just means things like you see the good in people or you're a very hopeful person. What's wrong with being innocent? I understand the concern about the term childlike but innocent??

@@emma_luce_0623I think it’s just the context the words are being used in. The second girl used the word ‘female’ to describe a woman, but the first girl used ‘man’ to describe a man. The term ‘female’ can apply to any female animal, while ‘man’ specifically applies to a human man. It gives the vibes that woman are lesser than men and internalized misogyny vibes, yk? I might just be reading into it too much, but female = woman and man = man has been used alot by the misogynists I’ve met. ‘Innocent’ has the implication that their ‘pure’ / better than the sultry / ‘loose’ woman. Idk innocent is just really related in describing children and childlike ‘innocence’ and so it’s a red flag if a man’s ideal women is like one that is like a child. It also involves toxic purity culture (‘if you do x you don’t have any value as a women’ or ‘nobody wants someone thats used!’) Sorry for the long comment lol

​@crystalclouds5878 Men wanting women who haven't had a lot of sexual partners isn't toxic. In fact I believe the there is a study out by the Institute for Family Studies that says a spouse with 2 or fewer sexual partners before marriage is the group least likely to divorce. From the male perspective this is a heuristic for loyalty and a woman who is less likely to objectify men. (Yes, we don't like being seen as wallets with pen_ses attached any more than women like being seen as purley sex objects). Also raising another person's kids knowing if we get to care for them, and spend money on them, and they can be taken away at any time isn't a deal breaker, but it isn't exactly a green flag. Finally, if you can shame what we want in a partner, do we get to shame what you want in a partner? Wouldn't that be fair?

I hate the “pretty underneath the glasses all along” so MUCH. Many times have people asked me to take off my glasses and telling me things like “oh you look so cute without your glasses”. They might have meant it as a compliment but it only made me worried that I wasn’t pretty with them. I used to feel insecure about wearing them but not anymore, I look good in them and they allow me to see the world in HD. I like how cloudy with a chance of meatballs subverts this trope in how Flint encourages Sam to be herself, puts her glasses on, puts her hair up in a ponytail like she used to before she started hiding the person she was and then is taken aback by how pretty she looks.

@pvp6077

3 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, I have read that phrase at minimum, hundreds of times. Very common in historical romances, family dramas, and inheritance tropes. Aristocrats of various cultures and times in history had a tendency to try to choose women of small, delicate, childlike build, resulting in a significant number of deaths during childbirth. Women of lower status had less access to doctors and more need to help with daily work, so they were chosen more for their working ability, healthiness, and "child-bearing hips", which would allow for easier births, with quicker recovery time, allowing for more children to also grow quickly and healthily to help with the family work. So child-bearing hips can be both a compliment and an insult. It suggests healthy genes, but "low birth" of non-noble lineage, sometimes even implying some "corruption" of a noble line with peasant blood. Regardless, it's saying "you look like a peasant". Queen Charlotte, wife of King George of England was chosen from a distant branch of the German royal branch, born and raised in a country manor far from any city, not even speaking English when she arrived. It was rumored that she was chosen for her child-bearing hips because the current Royal family was too weak blooded from inbreeding (King George famously suffered from congenital defects causing headaches and slow deterioration of his mental capabilities, and anemia was common in royal families) and they were desperately in need of an heir. She ended up bearing 15 children, all of whom struggled to provide a legitimate heir of their own, resulting in her granddaughter Victoria taking the throne instead of a male heir. People were happy she was able to provide a healthy heir but still distainful of her hips, making a number of significant allusions in plays and leaflets passed around at the time. Throughout the early 19th century, people lost some of the significance of the genealogy and started associating it with weight, as weight became a significant social factor, in terms of treatment and expectations. Then it took on a similar meaning as "big boned": originally referring to someone who cannot possibly fit into certain metrics because their skeleton is physically larger than some other people's skeletons (like a Scandinavian compared to a Japanese person), to being a euphemism for "overweight", used primarily as an insult but implemented as a backhanded compliment (eg someone calls protagonist "Fat", so her step-mother responds "No ...... 😬 you just have ..... child bearing hips 😇") It's less common in more modern stories, amd those written by and about men, as it appears primarily in conversations with and about women. Men are less likely to be to be exposed to the vocabulary women use amongst each other than the reverse, as they are less likely to spend time in a room full of the opposite sex, listening to them talk, or to expose themselves to media featuring same. Women commonly are expected to accompany or serve men, attend classes, and work in rooms where there are no other women present, and similarly, imbibe and enjoy media featuring only men, men's thoughts, and men's opinions, so there tends to be a cultural skew in terms of available vocabulary, emotional intelligence, and ability to portray characters of multiple genders. It's not a hard line though, just a skew, so there are some pretty decent male writers out there too 👍🏾

Tbh tho as an author making assumptions is imo really stupid bc literature is regarded as a sign of intelligence and with google on your hand why would you assume when you could js research it right?

I met someone like that. I felt so embarrassed to myself. To see some of those things in me for the first time seeing them in someone else. Is kinda weird, I felt embarrassed but at the same time sad and frustrated.

If someone describes a female character as "sassy" one more time I'm going to break something. Especially because they're almost NEVER "sassy". They don't act like the ideal obedient quiet submissive 40s/50s housewife. Having an opinion and/or not letting someone walk all over you does NOT equal "sassiness". It also does not equal the character having a personality. Please I'm begging for decent female characters because I literally read 200 books a year and I think I've MAYBE found 5 of them.

OH MY GOD I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT I FCKING HATE WHEN WOMEN ARE DESCRIBED AS SASSY LIKE SHUT UPPPPP

Im a man, and im glad i write my leading ladies like the females😂

I LOVE IDENTICAL BT ELLEN HOPKINS!!!!

Meet cute 😂

Lip bite 😂😂😂

"You were pretty all along" 🙄😬

Here comes my alfa man had my laughing so hard and also referencing losing the glasses

I was so confused at girst because I thought you said "good character girl" instead of "good girl character"

Not all men are bad at writing female characters though - John Green does a great job for example

Ok then, I counter this ridiculous point with all of these characters ladies write are attracted to monsters, criminals, serial killers, mass murderers, cheaters, stalkers and every other type of ne'er do well. You bypass the good and eventual love interest for Prince Raul, CEO Cassian or some Fae lord or elf. only after being passed around are you now ready to be with Bob the farmer or Joe the landscaper.

Both me and my partner love creative writing so while im writing my novel i ask for his help to make sure im not making the men characters unrealistic

As a man, I feny writing ANY love relation between a man and a fema... woman like this. Have like ONE that is remotely close but never that shi

Ooo i see burned in the background

My own contemporary YA series mostly takes place in a very sheltered rural small town because of the first book essentially requiring it to work; after all, it takes a very sheltered town for its residents to be fanatical about their high school to the point of following its math team when the sports teams suck...

Man: you look prettier without your glasses! Woman: Damn, cuz nothing else looks like *_anything_* without them!

And they get mad when we chose the bear 🐻

Except uncle rick. He is awesome

“Females” “alpha man” *runs and hides*

The irony in this video attacking male authors misrepresenting female characteristics, while doing the same of male authors. Wow

“childlike with perky boobs and child bearing hips” excuse while I go gag in disgust

Why does that cause you to gag in disgust? What about that provokes a disgust reaction?
