> 62% of women reported having rape fantasy > The fantasies are erotic in nature > Dark romance is about 82% of female readers > These books are exploding in popularity > Women find high agency and high-dominance men hot Meanwhile, the same women are protesting against the men they find hot. Why? It's because opposition to the "patriarchy" is an easy virtue signal social currency they can cash in with all these girl groups. What everyone should do is just ignore these women who have compartmentalized views that are in direct contradiction to each other. The more a society listens to these kinds of women, the more it falls into chaos, because their ideas and thoughts are about as shallow as a pond, and they never thought about it deeply. Then they encounter a "male beta" who is low agency, low dominance, and low confidence, and these women reject them. Then later on, they date the hot, confident male and marry them. When it comes to women... revealed preference beats stated preference every single time!
