Fucking so true. I'm a millennial so that whole friend zone trope is/was HUGE. I've also learned you can have crushes on friends but you can just not make it their problem and then that's pretty fine. Plus you learn there's a different type of love and affection for friends, I know there's a Greek word for it, and without that being something that is taught can get confused for the basal emotions men are allowed.
Even those :brainworms: tend to be installed in men from other men, and it sucks.
Even the idea of "friend zones" implies being friends with women is a bad thing. :kombucha-disgust:
