Painfully Predictable Horrible depiction of Cheating, Misogony and Women Choose the Mean Guy Trope.

Full disclosure I skipped through a lot of scenes. I didnt feel the need to endure the ML being an asshole and the FL being a dumb passive recipient of abuse.

Plot
Woman who is depicted as ambitious but painfully naive and girly and just dumb enough so as to be paltable in a mans world has a crush on the Alpha male at work.

ML is a complete rude obnoxious asshole who rejects her forcefulky repeatedly treats her really disrespectfully and badly and is basically a bully.

Girls meets MLs Friend who is really nice respectful goudlooking charming wealthy and guess what likes her for who she is. FL falls for the guy and seems to be really happy.

ML sees this and decides now he wants the girl because as a male he cant have another male pissing in his territory.

ML pursues FL who of course wavers because as a girl she cant have the self respect or will to resist the handsome guy even though hes an asshole. So ML shows himself to be a horriblefriend as well as a petty possessive selfish manchild.

Anyway then FL just to really double down on the shittiness cheats on the nice guy with the asshole. Then strings along the poir guy while watching the ML still being an asshole and then chooses ML anyway. Why?? Because he treated her mean to keep her keen.

Cue lots of plot devices and bad writing (ooh male breast cancer so its okay the ML is a horrible guy) designed to

1) illicit sympathy for ML and made excuses for him being a terrible ass and try and justify the FL cheating with him.

2) Make the 2Ml first a doormat than present him as clingy and unreasonable make him less likeable when he is just a victim of the trashy behaviour of the two people he liked and trusted most.

3) to try and explain away the FL being portrayed as a silly, vapid, dithering insincere cheating b;*^"'h.

Girls its time to wise up to these misogynistic portrayals of women. The fact this trash is written by a woman and is loved by women is so frustrating abd disappointing.
Its basicalky the plot of BOF with a different setting and a few tweaks. Why is it women who propogate this patriarchal nonsense.
Grow up Girls.
