Understand this and you understand women.Reasonable, I also think that "read 500 romance novels" claim is quite farfetched. However, those themes are in fact quite common in smut and romance novels, there are many research papers that demonstrate this. For example, here's one about women rape fantasies, it also illuminates themes of "adversary transformation" i.e, molding barbaric men into things that fit the protagonist's needs. So he isn't entirely wrong either. >https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2008-05921-009⧉
