One comment on the most recent Modern Love column: I think the “crazy woman finally finds the patient stalwart man” narrative is soooo blah. I know so many ladies who think of things this way/ movies and books and newspaper articles that do too but, like, why does one person always have to (or get to) be the crazy one while the other always has to (or gets to) be strong and silent? It’d be a lot more fun and normal for everyone to be a little bit of both and also, I think ladies should stop calling themselves crazy unless they’ve spent their entire lives locked away at the insane asylum, and even then there are definitely better words to describe yourself-
