Jack Morris @jackmmorris.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Obviously I get in real life it’s not that simple. (I’d love a story if the woman chose a literal bear. My friend Mina Ma already wrote it, in fact, and it was fabulous). But there’s a nuance in real life and also in stories and I’d love to read more of those ones. 000
Jack Morris @jackmmorris.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Funny to write that but honestly, it’s got to stage where men being horrible to women as a plot device is just stale, for me. And the women just seem to take it. Imagine a woman who just left cos she felt like it. Or was the star of her own show. Imagine that. 100
