A fun response to the hot-crazy scale

I bet there are dudes in TrueRateMe rushing to rate her a 4.2 out of sheer anger right now.

I so hate the hot/crazy matrix. It’s a self-defeating thing, I say this as a plain Jane who has watched some of the most gorgeous girls get used and abused. Entire lifetimes of not being taken seriously, being valued only for their looks (all women are but hot women more so), being pumped and dumped. And then, because this stupid hot/crazy stereotype exists, it makes men treat them even worse, not commit, be shitty, the whole 9 yards. This isn’t even to mention the shade they get from other women (pickmeishas) who feel threatened. Wood it be any wonder if they acted a little “crazy” based on how they are treated?

I actually don't love it, and seeing this makes me realise what I don't like about the whole dynamic and vocabulary we use to discuss these things. There's something about the term "emotionally unavailable" that gives men seeming control over themselves and dignity. A woman being "crazy" is degrading and humiliating, whereas "emotionally unavailable" has a connotation of rationality and power.

The men she's referring to are fucked up, but we don't recognise it through the language we use. Sadly I don't know what an existing alternative could be.

In short, when I watch this video I don't go "oh hah, those men got burned"; it actually seems a bit weak. Copying their humour but leaving them with the power. Feeding into our underdog status.

My ex was danger zone. He really wasnt hot enough to be that fucked up mentally.

Honestly there’s something to this... you can set your own markers.... depending on what box you want to put him in, just like they do with us.

Guys are all sex and ego... Well, I know I am going to have an emotional availability rating now.

It’s based off another guy’s video, right? Good satire always has elements of truth.

This whole thing is a sarcastic response to the crazy hot matrix though.
