Q for women: how would Campbell's monomyth/hero's journey be different if it were the heroine's journey? Opinions or citations on this?

women's journey is abt proving desirability same as males. only desirablility is located elsewhere.

i really like this question. i think the woman's journey is about <endurance>. how much can you tolerate and still be desirable?

like, torture porn and degradation is literally the woman's hero journey. would recommend "martyrs" as example of this.

so heroine's journey starts with degradation instead of call to adventure?
Replying to
"degradation" as "threat to value." a lot of times that value has to do with purity but i don't think that has to universalize.
