I'm browsing through stock photos for something
using the search term "apology".
In all the photos it's guys apologising to women.
Is this normal? What's going on?

In my head, I immediately thought something pedestrian like: guys are taught and internalize, "it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission" early. I wasn't going to mention it but then I looked it up and... Grace Hopper is the one who popularized this aphorism!

Hm! Btw in most of these photos men are *begging* women. Like with palms pressed together
Looks so weird! Does this ever happen?3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

onwards and upwards!)1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I think stock photo editors are conflating archetypes of "mother" and "lover" -- hope it's only the stock photo editors.
