Might be worth looking specifically at work on iconic instances—Revenge of the Nerds, High Fidelity, How I Met Your Mother, Ted Lasso, Fboy Island, etc.. From a theoretical angle, Kate Manne on himpathy and Michael Kimmel on aggrieved masculinity could be useful as well.

Let us not forget this very long, very strange 1833 poem by a dentists: publicdomainreview.org/collection/d...

Gosh thanks, Elsevier, for charging libraries gobs of money for what seems extremely likely to be AI-generated junk (h/t to a colleague for finding this)

Frankie is my all-time fave, but the pup is Mick...the rescue had named her Miracle, so it conveniently paid homage to that as well :)
