The trope of the “crazy” girlfriend is so prevalent and joked about now that girls getting into relationships are so worried about seeming imposing that they do not speak out about things that make them uncomfortable and are forced to let their boyfriends emotionally manipulate them into normalizing otherwise inappropriate behavior. They do not speak up and then are faced with dealing with an uncomfortable situation for so long, which can really affect their self esteem and emotional health. “Jokes” aren’t always jokes, especially at the expense of women. They are usually integrated into people’s thinking to the extent that they truly affect people’s opinions of women and the way they see them.

I think this is related to how many young women are afraid to speak up about things that upset them lest they be labeled a ‘nag’ for having her partner ‘whipped’. Even if she’s speaking up about a legitimate issue that genuinely upsets her, women are so often painted as being dramatic over nothing that it causes us to keep everything shoved down until it explodes, simply because we aren’t allowed to say “This bothers me.” without a negative response.
