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.
