And Holden is such a jerk in this scene. It’s weird how so much misogyny is braided together with the male gaze’s internalized androphobia. A lot of patriarchal structures are tied into androphobia, into guys’ fear and hatred of each other and of their attraction to each other. Femininity is simultaneously valued and constricted.</p> <p> (Also go listen to “Love Cliché” by BV3 after watching the film.)</p> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgYVgKNotVc 2023-12-04T09:44:18Z
