What is it about western Patriarchy that inscribes gender on women such that they become attracted to true crime and vicious and brutal crime stories? (hexbear.net)

Do you think this is a phenomenon? And do you think that Patriarchy created this? If so, how? And maybe why?

Merci.

It’s in the name, true crime. Similar crimes have happened to themselves or people they know. It’s natural to want to understand it.

Then we have patriarchal obsession about virginity and chastity, which those crimes can be seen as overcoming in a twisted way, providing an “““escapist””” fantasy. You can’t be a sl*t if someone r*pes you. 🧠
