What is it about western Patriarchy that inscribes gender on women such that they become attracted to true crime and vicious and brutal crime stories? (hexbear.net)

Do you think this is a phenomenon? And do you think that Patriarchy created this? If so, how? And maybe why?

Merci.

There’s this tendency to put media that women enjoy under a microscope that seems weird to me. For all the women who love “true crime” there are plenty of men who get into war or mafia documentaries.

It's like a real-life variation of the old joke "are you a straight cis white male, or are you a porn category?"

Did we all just forget something like 50+ years of "post apocolypse" fantasy/sci-fi? 99.9% seems to be catering specifically to "men".
