This is how mass media brainwashes us, often from an early age, to ignore these behaviors or end up on reddit asking if you're overreacting.

Back to the Future is on and there is a scene where Marty is walking outside with his girlfriend. She is being the good supportive gf, trying to boost him up because his band was rejected from some competition. These two girls in 80's aerobics gear walk past them in the opposite direction and Marty literally turns his head to stare after them. His gf lightly grabs his chin and turns his head back to face her, and it's obvious from the scene we are supposed to see that she perceives this as lighthearted and cute and not something to be upset about. Thus the LVM behavior is coded as "good" for our consumption, and these messages make their way into our subconscious. Later in the scene she gives him a paper with the phone number of her grandmother's house where he can reach her, and she has written "I love you" above the number. She saunters off because her dad has come to pick her up, and Marty looks on as Huey Lewis singing "That's the POWER OF LOVE" is cranked up for emphasis.

So she loves him, and he presumably loves her, but he ogles other women in her face. Nice. I actually never even noticed this scene before, but in life after FDS, you start seeing everything hidden in plain sight. I'm so disappointed and grossed out because I love this movie.

Needless to say, you can find this insidious coding/programming in many movies and shows, especially comedies. We must be conditioned to see LVM behavior as cute and funny, after all. Stay woke.
