In these kinds of stories, I hate the whole trope of “All women only lust after my looks, wealth and position” but simultaneously failing to realise or address the fact that they live in a world/setting which is very male-centric. Women are told that their whole purpose and happiness lie in finding a wealthy, well-positioned husband, that that is their only happiness and giving birth, of course. No wonder women grow to desire those things when they aren’t given other avenues. Don’t get me wrong, bad people can be bad people no matter what, still the whole “I hate women cos they are all the same” is stupid since none of the men in these stories acknowledge that it’s entirely because of the social structure they have built and are supporting.
