This. Transactional and judgmental interactions 🎯 The thing that bothers me is it seems to pander to the same old yawnsome male gaze that perceives female narrators as perpetually single dimension and lacking complexity, when compared to the richly varied characters with whom they interact. And quite frankly the world has enough shallow written female characters without our best female authors adding more!
