End the Boyfriend Industrial Complex! Used to be a boyfriend person and it’s so embarrassing. Take him off your lock screen, your wallpaper, your IG bio — it’s never reciprocated.

It’s also status claiming. They want to show that they have been chosen and have something that is ‘coveted’

tbh I think a lot of this is also just flexing about not being single. in an era of increasing social isolation and loneliness it’s a status symbol to be partnered

The worst is uninterested boyfriend’s opinion on a typically female hobby or media. Ex. My boyfriends opinion on x tv show etc. Or boyfriends opnion fashion/beauty, I rather die then known which outfit you boyfriend prefers

i mean this w zero hate but even the feminist strong women on the internet will use their men as a retort when they’re threatened (drew, alicia, etc come to mind)

it's also interesting that the boyfriendland only goes viral for European boyfriend or boyfriends who are racialized as white. I don't see "Somalian boyfriend tries TX chili"

Then there are the girls who post their roommates bf instead. “Showing my roommates bf *insert TikTok trend here*”. It’s so weird cuz hes not even at least yours. But truly anything to post a man.

It’s also often incredibly infantilising in tone, in a way that seems to suggest we should be treating them like little boys when we are not afforded the same generosity of nativity and inferiority

Lol I remember a content creator in South Africa bringing this up and the girls in the comments were LIVID. "I love him, so what?!" "It's giving jealousy". 🤣😂 Gosh, I wish I could find the video.

Media in general has become VERY critical of men lately, for good reason. However, the truth is that not “all” men are bad, lazy, disloyal, hypocritical, fascist, etc. etc. So it leads women who are partnered with “good” men to want to stick up for them.

there have also been a few studies that show the correlation between frequently posting your partner and being unhappy in relationships!

I feel like so many of those types of creators heavily infantilize their boyfriends too, it’s super odd

As a girl with a boyfriend he’s kinda like a mythical creature lol I don’t bring him up and I usually leave his ass at home when I leave the house

Why are we always celebrating men for the bare minimum? Or just doing a good job? It's so exhausting. You can to the best you've ever done but man will get praised. The whole society is male-centered.
