No Evolutionary Benefit: So Why Do Girls Like BL/Yaoi/Gay Romance?

Описание: Why Women Are Obsessed with Gay Hockey Romance (Heated Rivalry Phenomenon Explained)
YouTube Description
Straight women are going absolutely feral over Heated Rivalry - the steamy gay hockey romance series that nobody saw coming. From TikTok edits to viral thirst posts, this Canadian show now on HBO has become a global obsession, even trending in places where it's banned.
In this episode, Simone and Malcolm Collins dive deep into why women can't get enough of male-on-male romance - from Yuri on Ice to Boys Love manga, slash fiction since the 1970s, and the surprising evolutionary and psychological reasons behind it.
We cover

The women can't love red-pill theory (Simone's most based take ever)
Why go woke go broke has one massive exception
The difference between real gay relationships and the fantasy versions women crave
Power dynamics, objectification, escape from gender politics, and much more

Is this just harmless escapism or proof of something deeper about female desire?
