View submission: R/Askmen discusses getting swarmed by women
Isnt the issue more with the patriarchy though?
As a result of a lot of media that was aimed at men about how they cant have emotions and lovey dovey romance is bad etc which leads to said genere becoming more female focused in terms of readers, which then leads it to believing this is only stuff for women.
It only feels like its female dominated but thats only due to (like gaming I wouldn't be surprised if there are also men who enjoy these things) years of men being told how a man should feel.

The modern romance genre is pretty much porn. When I say romance books I don’t mean a lovey dovey emotional rollercoaster. I mean trashy books about a 6’11 vampire werewolf emotionally and physically abusing an 18 year old girl but it’s ok because she’s into it. Seriously, a court of thorns and roses is just straight up torture porn, and it’s the first book you see when entering a book store.
It’s the female version of those harem anime’s that are borderline hentai, and people wondering why anime is male dominated when those are what get so much attention.
