why appealing to a man is impossible: The madonna-whore complex
April 2025

Romantic relationships between men and women grow ever more dystopian by the day. With toxic male-targeted podcasts criticizing women and the magnifying lens that the media casts on women’s every move, I can’t help but question how exactly women are expected to behave. On one hand, a woman is expected to be virginal, pure, and the perfect “good girl”. On the other hand, toxic heterosexual men will also complain when women are not able to meet their sexual desires. These types of men then proceed to use a woman’s lack of sexual experience as an excuse to cheat on them with more experienced women, which contradicts their claims that they desire a virginal woman. This phenomenon can be tied back to what is known as the Madonna-Whore Complex.
