1. Expectation Violation Theory (EVT)
Core Idea: When someone violates expectations (even subtle, unconscious ones), it triggers increased scrutiny, discomfort, or even aggression from others.
Application: A woman who is attractive is often unconsciously expected to also be socially polished, neurotypical, emotionally expressive in “normal” ways, and fluent in conventional feminine codes. If she instead behaves in ways others read as “awkward,” “blunt,” “too intense,” or “aloof,” people may perceive this as threatening or unsettling — even if she’s not doing anything wrong.
