Could you explain what had happened over the phone with Benny and sally?
yeahhh im confused too
The story does show unfaithful women and affairs of women which end up hurting the male, but this is mainly based on Sally's point of view.
I think she believes that in a relationship, a woman has more to lose and is more emotionally invested therefore more emotionally distraught.
So she herself puts on colored lenses and pretends that her clients are always right and just and doing things out of love when they're essentially setting up with their boyfriends with someone.
And god forbid that they start to like her after she dons the role of the ideal girl( everyone has their ideal someone. I do, you do. Just everyone. And she knows the ideal because the girl has given sally every detail) then they're cheating.
Sally herself believes in that the strongest because she has seen many women genuinely hurt by men (she doesn't look at the other side tho..so biased). And therefore has tried numerous times to judge Benny.
Now what if Benny does the same?
Ok good to know. the story was seeming very black and white, with men being cheaters and women being victims, and that just seems very regressive and cliche. I'll give it another try.
i've only read a few chapters but I'm kinda disappointed that they never bring up that women can cheat too. It's like women are blindly in love with any guy they date, kinda of infantilzing them and removing agency, while guys are just dying to have sex all the time. It gives very much traditional and conservative vibes. Of course I have to keep in mind that this was written for a different audience with a different culture, but some things feel very 2010s.
