My gf is a normie Zoomer and saw this was on Netflix. I came in and she was watching it, which lead to me pausing it every 20 minutes or so to rant about female psychology and differences in male sexuality. (Believe it or not she agreed and we almost turned it off but decided to see how it ends for sh*ts and giggles.)

Well, by the end of the movie it fulfilled the romcom clichรฉ requirements. Unappreciative bf ditched, misunderstandings overcome, happily ever after heartwarming kiss, etc. Which was honestly refreshing after an hour of them LARPing as womanizing dudebros. I was complaining about how obviously women enjoy sex too but that as they say in Russia "women love with their ears, men love with their eyes." Meaning, their sexuality is visceral and so even when they are an empoweredโ„ข strong alpha female whatever-the-f**k that the media hopes to prop up, that that means something completely different. A powerful man wants to wh*re around. A powerful woman wants to be a princess.

For example, this female rapper, Lakeyah, is comfortable talking about her sexuality and expressing her desires in the relationship. Outwardly it's assertive and feminist. But at its core it's really about how she wants the man to be loyal in a monogamous relationship, how she is insecure, and how she needs to be emotionally fulfilled regardless of how "good the dick is."

The d**k good, I'm talkin' real good
But emotionally, you never notice me (At all)
Sayin' you love me and you only want me
But nigga, that ain't what you showin' me (Damn)
'Cause, I only feel you whenever we f**kin'
That ain't how this sh*t supposed to be"

This comes from the heart. Which is why I respect it, even if it's a product of degenerate hook-up culture.

 

And I ended up googling after the film because I kept repeating how it's like the script just wrote a dudebro story then replaced 'em with females. Turns out there's not a single female credited as a writer or director. And Wikipedia, confirmed my susp*cions:

"After the success ofย American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, writerย David H. Steinbergย was hired in 2010 to write the next movie in the series entitledย American Pie Presents: East Great Fallsย centered around four male students at East Great Falls High School who all fall in love with the same female student.ย Universal Studiosย hired new writers starting in 2017 to flip the genders of all the characters.[6]"

No wonder it sucked! And while we're on the topic, this is why "Sex and the City" doesn't resonate as an accurate social satire of strong empoweredโ„ข wahmen. Because the TV adaptation of "Sex and the City" is written by two gay men (Darren Star and Michael Patrick King) who inject their own whorish experiences and hyper-sexualized outlook into surrogate actresses. IRL, the "Sex and City" original columnist, Candace Bushnell, "regrets choosing career over family."
