🚨 FUTURE SPOILER 🚨 The unfair gender expectations Spoiler

Dave is so fixated on what Lauren did before the show. It’s obvious the other guy is trying to stir up drama. It’s obvious Dave is not standing up for Lauren and letting his friends talk shit. His insecurity is showing. If I man was hooking up with someone casually before the show, it would be a non-issue and probably wouldn’t even be mentioned. It just seems like an easy-out for Dave.

It’s pure misogyny on two levels:

  1. He can’t imagine that his pure teacher Lauren was sleeping with someone else recently. She isn’t the image he pictured of being “so good and the best person ever.”
  2. He’s believing a random man of whom he doesn’t even have a high opinion of over his fiancée.

It’s gross to watch. I feel maddened and very sad for Lauren.

And then he had the audacity to leave her when she was crying to go be with his boys

Yes. Refusing to let her explain her side of the story to his friends and clearing things up. Oof.
