This baffles me, you can tell them this over and over and they'll still tell you that you're wrong, and ACTUALLY you're attracted to the Chris Hemsworths of the world and not the Jack Blacks.
This is toxic masculinity, and the idea that men have to be successful, strong, brave, etc. hurts everyone.
Being 'soft' or 'weak' should be perfectly normal and accepted human traits. How about we allow men the space and patience to access and acknowledge their emotions, instead of placing some patriarchal ideal of how they have to be big, strong, rich, successful, dominant etc. on them?
Hmm, I see your point now I've looked up the actual theory of female gaze.
It seems in the modern social media space, female gaze has been used to mean something more like "the male characters who women find attractive are the ones that show more emotional, loving, nurturing and supportive traits". So if used this way, it's not a direct contrast to male gaze. Maybe we need to call that observation something different!
I wonder if Bob (Sean Austin) does fall into the proper definition though? His character does exist for the most part to lift every other character around him, especially Joyce Byers.
Surprised you could only think of Idris! Would say he's definitely female gaze in most of his roles. Off the top of my head, and as a woman who talks about celeb 'crushes' with other women, the tops are:
Stanley Tucci in literally anything.
Tom Hiddleston (Loki had way more female attention than Thor)
Jack Black as Bowser
David Harbour as Jim Hopper
Sean Austin (in general, but also as Bob in ST)
Paul Rudd (again, in almost anything)
Pedro Pascal (particularly as Joel)
Hugh Jackman in musicals (as opposed to being Wolverine)
All examples of men who, for the most part, are not obvious sex symbols in their roles, all of whom women go absolutely wild for.
Easy: leave all emails that might be important as unread. That way, you know they're important because they're unread. Continue to never read them until you've got over 400 unread emails in your inbox. Then just mass delete any more than a month old, because they can't still be important or relevant. Continue to feel guilty and not read emails.
Simple for me too! I use Google Tasks (RIP Reminders but Tasks is already better) just out of ease. It's right there on my phone and if something pops into my head, I can just call out to Google Assistant to add it to the list for x day/time.
I actually love OneNote - I use it predominantly at work to organise and info dump EVERYTHING. We have pretty strict IT policy though so it's really my only option. I wish the phone app was easier to navigate, as I've not found a reliable notes app on Android (I have so much stuff split across multiple notes apps that I just kinda gave up).
A significant amount of subs were text only. I get the majority of Reddit was memes, pics, videos and linking to content off site, but there's still a wealth of text only posts covering thousands of niche topics.
