I didn't say that romance itself was a problem I said obsessing over it was. There's a significant difference.Actually the things you mentioned, that you percieve to be female sins, were all lumped together like they were all one thing. Each of those things were very different. Let's dissect them.
Replacing objectifying women with romance. What are you calling romance? Are you calling movies where the characters love each other sacrificially, and the men are faithful, romance? because if you are, you have a very flawed premise to begin with. Admiring character traits, as opposed to superficial ones, are completely apples and oranges. We could all swoon over Jesus Himself for his character, and I don't think that would be wrong. Those are biblical things we should be striving for. Oh and empathy? So I guess that putting yourself in another person's shoes is now sinful? I thought it was loving your neighbor as yourself.
Now, accumulating shoes or purses. Those could be compared with a man accumulating gadgets, I suppose? It certainly isn't comparable to objectifying women. If someone accululates anything greedily, or without thought of others, then yes, that could be a sin, but again, it's not anywhere near turning a person into an object. I believe that a man or a woman could think of another person as an object, that's not male or female, but it is a horrible, dehumanizing sin.
What is fait? Comparing apples with apples, and oranges with oranges is fair. It's not fair to compare apples and grapes.
Furthermore, scripture tells us that all sin is common to man, (as in mankind, or men and women.) So this pitting male sins or females sins against each other seems silly to me.

Anyway, men are not heros anymore for sure, except in video games where they earn newer bigger and better weapons, and keys to better maps.
WOOOOOOW!! CONS really?
Yea... I don't think women these days need the characters we play in video games these days.
It is silly. So, stop doing it indirectly.
The sins are not openly pitted against one another, men are perceived as worse sinners than women, and sorry, I will not buy it if anyone makes a rapid claim otherwise, its just too obvious, WAY to obvious, not just here, but across the full church body.
Look at the link I posted. How do you account for those answers? Women see their biggest sin as self esteem related? Are you kidding me? The worse thing women do is think too low of themselves? That's got so much narcissism and other things similar bundled up in it it cannot even be adequately unpacked.
Those were large groups. Are they weird people and outliers
