Stalking For Love

My Stalking For Love video essay is finally here! 

Stalking For Love is a popular media trope where invasive stalker-like behavior is presented as an endearing or harmless part of romantic courtship. The hero will often go to extraordinary lengths to coerce, trick, or otherwise manipulate his way into a woman's life.

Next month I'm going to switch gears to something more positive. I'll be making a more personal video essay focusing on 1980s children's movies that promoted empathy and helped shape my values as a kid.

After that I'll be highlighting the Abduction as Love trope. We've started collecting examples of that one here.
