that his status shields him from real consequences. while for women, interaction is shaped by compulsory compliance. yueying response exposes a fundamental truth about gendered power dynamics that true power comes with not only the ability to act, but also the privilege to refuse
see the stark contrast between contrast between masculine privilege & feminine vulnerability. for men, boundary-testing & dynamic-pushing are just "game" bcs they're bored or curiosity esp when ml possesses the agency to treat the world as his playground, secure in the knowledge
been logging in my read since 2021 and out of 330+ books i read i only have 26 five stars books cuz i'm always very particular with 5 stars but i almost never give rating less than 2.5 or 3
what a whole new level of gatekeeping and you think its what? taste? literally read what you like, annotate what you like, and let other people enjoy what they like. just bcs your taste is niche and less ppl know about it, doesn't make it sophisticated
what a weird take. booktok is NOT some genre its just a freaking platform, just bcs a book is popular doesn't determine if it has literary value or not. like sure you can can think the picks are bad or poorly written but thinking "oh ppl on booktok like this hence its a trash"
kinda regret getting annotate now coz everyoneโs favourite books are the booktok type books i just despise and donโt consider books. i donโt think im that tasteful but cmonโฆ u might as well be reading fanfiction
