Okay shit one serious rebuke to the Dudes Who Have Feelings About Cat Person: surely you noticed that on multiple occasions she is afraid for her life. Dimly afraid, but afraid. And yet you expect emotional honesty from this woman. Really?
okay so what you're saying is, pragmatically, all these takes about how this story shows how shitty men are erase the fact that sometimes women soft-coerce men into bad sex and then expect a bunch of emotional labor too.
