Women On Reddit Are Calling Out Problematic Things That Are Romanticised, And It’s Such An Eye-Opener

I feel like, at one point or another, all of us have read romance novels and watched movies which have raised our romantic standards. However, how many times have most of us looked back and realised how inappropriate and toxic a lot of these behaviours are? Like, so many times we believe that certain things and behaviours are acceptable just because they sound so romantic in the context of the story. And somehow with the heroine in the plot, we also lose our sense of self-respect and practicality. And as much as we complain about girls who lose their selves because of the toxic men in their lives, we have all been in that place. So let’s get further personally attacked by this Reddit thread of women answering the question, “What is something that is romanticised but shouldn’t be romanticised?”

I want children for myself but I do realise that is nothing to be taken lightly, as should all parents!

Looking after the household and children is no joke. Doing it 24*7 is a mammoth task within itself.

I for one, prefer men who are comfortable with their feeling. I don’t understand the appeal of men who can’t communicate their emotions like adults

Mental health issues are a different issue altogether. Can we not idealise them?
