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?
like... think about the millions upon millions upon millions of male protagonists, not in a random new yorker short story but in The Great And Classic Works Of Literature where we are NEVER invited to feel empathy for the woman, we ONLY care about her impact on the man.

I just don't see where the solution for that is "let's spend more of our emotional energy on men especially when we're discussing a work by a woman that purports to tell us about the female experience."

and I get your point is that it's not about the systemic problem it's about the individuals and sometimes it really sucks for male individuals and I just... that's logic I had to dump way back when for obvious reasons.
