is it me, or the Allison-part is new and it's very stupid(i mean dialogue-wise)? Like MC talks about how he needs an emotional connection before being ready for sex(typical of a Demisexual btw or someone with common sense) and she switched to the same issue but from the pov of women, dismissing MC's statement but somehow she goes full circle and she is like "i guess it's valid for both genders", only to then talk about how she gets ghosted because she has a higher paycheck than her dates, not understanding the male point of view and then saying stuff like "eh i don't care about paychecks as long as the man can provide for himself decently enough". I'll keep it short because i'm having headaches from just reading it right now...but the dialogues are disconnected, they share a subject but they all are disconnected sentences with a weird "women are good too!" moral-lesson.
Damn as a woman i know that the issue with a woman having a higher paycheck isn't the paycheck itself but the attitude of superiority that comes with the paycheck, the "i'm the true breadwinner in this house, so do my bidding", men ghost such women because they fear that either gets dismissed(like "you're not really important here") or if the woman is accepting it still comes with some sort of power play, and that's enough drama to make me quit(this possible relationship if i was a man XD) and i met women like the ones in this explanation of mine, if beating someone would be legal, those women would be in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives because they're so annoying.
So yeah the new intro of Endowed is a disappointment
like i can answer Allison's question: she doesn't have a problem with men earning more because:
1- It has been like that since economy became party of society, you can say that you've accepted it
2- because the man's paycheck rarely comes with an attitude as "i'm your boss"(i'm excluding assholes, jerks and arrogant idiots)
3- because the woman usually have access to a man's paycheck one way or another (shared finances, gifts, paid bills, a man trusting her with his credit card/bank accounts, and so on)
and as i am playing, i'm reading the words "Toxic Masculinity", i guess i need to fast-click/skip this whole parade of poorly worded nonsensical moral lessons
If this whole thing with allisson was to show us MC's personality, all that such intro showed us is that MC is pushover, he would rant about his problems, then have someone else telling him that "he doesn't have it that bad" and he agrees while the other person talk about they've it worse and he agrees(that's the gist of it of this scene with Allisson)
