As in he doesn't truly value her as a person. He's desperate or will take getting laid any opportunity he can get.
In this episode, named "the Chinese woman" which aired in 1994: Jerry mistakenly calls a woman named Donna Chang over the phone when he was trying to call his bestfriend, George. He ends up asking her on a date just because of her Chinese last name and his fetish for Asian women. Elaine points out, isn't that racist? Dumbass says, "how can it be racist when I like them." You can imagine how hard I rolled my eyes as an Asian viewer. But any way, he shows up to his date at a Chinese restaraunt that she suggested they go to and is surprised to find that Donna is white. Her last name was shortened for whatever reason. Next day he's complaining to Elaine about how this lady wasn't Chinese. "She wasn't even Asian!" And says she must like people mistaking her for Chinese if she introduces herself as Donna Chang and asks to meet at a Chinese restaraunt.
I will admit as an Asian woman, it was kind of weird for me to see she was white too and how her name was shortened to that. However my point is more in when Elaine asks Jerry, "then why are you seeing her again?" He says, "well. She's still a woman."
Basically I'm just noticing something that applies in real life too. Not only with the creepy fetishists, but some men, similar to Jerry really do go out with women they barely even
like just because "she's still a woman."
I guess reminder is just because he's taking you out on dates doesn't mean he actually cares. There are lvm who will pretend to be into you because they want any chance of having sex no matter what. That's a huge difference between men and women I feel. Obviously some women are manipulative too, but you don't often hear about them lying about how much they like a guy just to have sex. Meanwhile it's a common practice for men, even popularized by Barney Stintson on HIMYM. Or things like the D.E.N.N.I.S system from its always Sunny in philadelphia.
Vet carefully and keep in mind a man can literally hate you, but still keep you around just because you're a woman he can Hoover over or potentially sleep with. Stay away from men who give you the sense that deep down they don't even like you as a person.
this kind of satire seems to go over most mens heads completely. It’s sad that media has found ways to point out how men are and exaggerate it, then men are like “well at least I’m not as bad as that character” or women are like “at least he isn’t as bad as that character” when it’s pointing out how bad men are and how most of them do this kind of thing to some degree.
back when I was still using it, I was downvoted like hell on r****t always sunny discussion page for pointing out that the Dennis system and his “implication” speech is actually very common for men to use, but how most men aren’t as openly psychopaths as Dennis is on that show. i think the writers were actually conscious of and pointing out how the way men manipulate women usually does follow the same pattern.
i even said that it may not be an overtly conscious manipulation tactic men use, and just that it is what works for them and does scare the women into having sex with them while they convince themselves that it’s harmless.
Needless to say the response on there really made me sad at how many men out there really do feel entitled to women’s bodies and do not think that they themselves are using manipulation tactics over and over again and traumatizing women to get access And use them.
Most of these 90s shows have not aged well. So much blatant racism and sexism was accepted without anyone batting an eye. The worst thing is this period wasn’t that long ago so even though social mores have changed too many people still secretly hold these views.
Women will always have more options than men. :,)
I have sometimes gotten the feeling that some men havent even liked me as a person, but I showed that feeling away, as I couldnt see an obvious reason for me to feel that way. However, my subconscious must have picked up on something that the conscious me didnt pick up on - because I have always been right in those cases... Their aggression comes out in various vague ways, but my gut feeling is actually a reliable source. Its my bestfriend in fact in many cases.
