Women on TikTok are poking fun at the oversexualised way that men write about female characters doing everyday tasks to highlight the issues with male gaze.
Me: doctor, I think I’m depressed
Doc: what are your symptoms?
Me: lifts top
Honestly, this constant referral back to the female body in instances where it doesn’t make much sense to, just proves that male authors have a default setting of… incredibly horny. Plus, it shows how men write for other men instead of detailing authentic experiences for women to enjoy, and exposes just how little these authors know about how the female body works or what women desire.
Of course, this is a generalisation. There have been many male authors who have been able to set aside the horniness, and write about women in respectful, and anatomically correct, ways. But the world just never seems to be in short supply of horrific excerpts of men writing about women with only two things on their mind: titties and vagina.
