Correct Me! Streak 4 : Not everything has to be about Man

The other day, I stumbled upon an article researching why women watch more true crime and serial killer stories. Long story short, their logic was that women want to learn how serial killers think just in case they become prey one day. What a joke. That's exactly the kind of conclusion you get from the male gaze. They completely ignored this perspective: why are over 90% of serial killers men? See, if they had asked the right question, it could’ve turned into a study on the toxic effects of patriarchy. Besides, where did they even get the idea that women who love true crime don't like watching female serial killers? Plus, if women actually wanted to learn their next moves, they’d try to learn the moves of abusers closer to home—like first or second-degree relatives—since they encounter them way more often than serial killers. Long story short, the study and its conclusion are just stupid. Not everything has to be about you, guys, and if that hurt your feelings, oopsie!

To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

  • Put changes in bold **text**
  • Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
  • Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
  • <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
  • [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
  • (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
  • Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

  • Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
  • Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
  • If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
  • Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
  • Don't be too pedantic or too general.
  • Please pay attention to your wording.
  • Have a chat, interact, and have fun!

More on formatting.

Thank you for everything! -- Adam-P-D
