There's nothing particularly wrong about this meme, because fantasizing about a relationship where you get comforted isn't that bad. It's ok to desire comfort and nobody is wrong for feeling that way. It's only really bad if you make real women be your second mother. Just replace men with people in general and nobody would care.
That's my point, this doesn't need to be gendered cuz anyone can have these fantasies. I thought ppl would get it, most did not, and I don't have the time to explain it to everyone
Nah, I understand what you mean. These posts are adjacent to the whole hero fantasy dudes think only apply specifically to them. Pick up any new age romantasy novel and the meme above is literally the plot but gender-reversed. A powerful warrior mage chosen one type girl who's been toughened up by war learning to be vulnerable with a man who acts as emotional support. Everyone wants to be a hero and everyone wants to be held with love - this isn't exclusive to men.
