Ch. 14

this portrayal of girls is so annoying. I used to teach middle and high school and the girl were not like that at all. I had 250+ students every year for over 10 years and maybe I ran into 2 girls that acted that mean. Girls are usually pretty supportive of each other, ugh.

Would love some green flag BL recs.

@Koiji Mandoza I honestly don't understand what's your issue, I shared my opinion of why I find the portrayal of girl and women in mangas, manhwas etc annoying. The idea that women hate each other is a patriarchal tool to keep us hating each other, it's not just a US thing, it's also a LatAm thing and while i might not be terribly familiar with Asian cultures, I see the same portrayal of women being a**s to each other all the time. In my experience, teaching that age group for more than 10 years that portrayal is exaggerated and I stand by that, I never said there weren't some girls that acted like that but it is absolutely not something as prevalent as these stories make it look. If you believe that women are just conniving backstabbing a**s maybe it is you who needs to broaden your knowledge of the world.

@Acorninlove while I might agree with o exaggerated to some Extent it would be alive to say there's not truth to This just like how Boys Tned to put each other down Girls do the same We are all human at the end of the Day And in school they are hierarchies in school based on how popular you are how you integrate into a group and in my experiences it's more apparents with women then men like what I mean is it's more apparent in women how they are social hierarchy work as opposed to guys and I have seen guys as well whether more popular you are the more their opinions are taken seriously What is girls are doing is not uncommon it's not a gender thing it's a human thing that's what I mean when I say you should broaden your horizons of course what you're saying is correct but it's not absolute

@Koiji Mandoza I agree and I honestly thing there's some miscommunication happening here, I don't think what I said it's absolute, I just firmly believe that media, say manga, manhwa, movies, series, anime tend to over do the mean girl trope and I find it incredibly annoying. I agree that there are hierarchies when it comes down to social interactions between women and between men. I was just mentioning that in my experience with that age group is not as prevalent as these stories want to make it seem like. I don't wanna get into how mean boys are towards each other because for what I've seen boys are sneaky as s*t and if you notice a lot of these stories portray the boy as just chill but immature and it's never these backstabbing trope that they love to do with girls, that's what i find particularly annoying, like yeah there's parts of human nature that suck and make us petty but I think if what they're trying to portray is all the flaws in human nature they could also show the boy being jerks not just the girls. That's mainly my beef, I am not foolish enough to believe that there aren't mean people out there, I'm too old to be so naive, but also I am speaking from my experience as a teacher of that age range and as someone that went to an all girls school from primary to high school. I honestly hope that explains my stance better and I made myself clear that I don't believe my opinion to be absolute and it might have been something you read into.

@Acorninlove oh no don't worry about it I never found your opinion to be invasive or not Otherwise why would u even Respond to your comments I just wanted to understand your world view Abit and I suppose I got carried away with that That Said We probably have a generation Gap sunceu said your a teacher and I'm just someone who has just passed high school 3 year's prior So it would be egotistical of me to assume we can immediately understand Each other . Anyways Thanks for the talk and Good luck With life I know I need it 🫠
