I used to give women the benefit of the doubt when they said that they are more emotionally intelligent and men aren't offering them enough "depth" in relationships until I actually decided to read through what women considered "deep" i.e. (dark) romance novels.
Holy shit it's the sloppiest slop imaginable. I'd say a good 90% of it is written by the same kind of person that invented "Live Laugh Love" posters. It's meaningless syrupy word vomit masked with glitter made for the sole purpose of transporting the (likely overweight and flat faced) reader into a fantasy world where Chad is actually interested in them as a person AND wants to fuck them, written in the gayest possible way.
And the other 10% are "dark" romance novels which essentially just means that the female MC falls in love with her rapist/kidnapper, who also happens to be a 6'5 model mafia boss CEO with a huge cock.
Slow burn romance is not deep, it's just a vehicle for you to goon for longer than you usually would.
And don't even get me started on that one gacha game.
And then they have the fucking audacity to lecture people on why their goon material isn't actually goon material and how they just have elevated tastes.
I don't hate women, I love them actually, but holy shit I want to blend them alive in a large, human sized blender.
