I do not have a Write A Coherent Essay brain but today's Dracula just made me feel a little sad about toxic masculinity and the cultural norm that men have to put on a good face in front of other men

Like, we've been watching Arthur mourn, even "I would release Renfield after one coherent conversation" Seward could see he was upset, and even in this tight group of men who are incredibly open about their feelings for the time, he still needed to be alone with a woman to fully break down and receive comfort, and I just feel SAD, you know? Like, it's not fair to women and it's not fair to men, and people are STILL doing this, and I want more for them.

There's a lot to say about how Stoker writes women and probably a woman written by a woman wouldn't be necessarily so blithely accepting of this dynamic as Mina, but looking at how Stoker writes MEN, I just get this feeling of him as someone with A Lot Of Emotions who thinks about them a lot but doesn't have the gender theory to realize that the patriarchy might be the problem.

me: hmmm how much is reasonable to drop on the crowdfund for the dracula podcast
