This came about because of, haha, Sex and the City 2; there was a group of us watching it and it being KIND OF TERRIBLE aside, we were almost unanimous in thinking - WTF is she thinking?!
There's a lot of female-oriented fiction that also has these problems, and I think the point that started bothering me is that I didn't notice it, really, until recently. It just seemed kind of... normal, par for course. Of course there's a triangle. Of course the woman/girl can't pick until the very end. Of course we're expected to believe that that's normal.
