What Serano means when she says guys are stuck in the “nice guy/asshole” double-bind is that guys have to choose if they want to be considered nice or be an “asshole” to be liked. A “nice guy” is someone who treats people with respect while an “asshole” is a person who treats women badly and only cares about themselves. Some qualities of a “nice guy” would be respectful, caring, and hopeful while an “asshole” has qualities like condescending, arrogant, and selfish. Some men gravitate towards the “asshole” stereotype because they think that this will get people to like them. I agree with the conclusions she draws however I feel like not all women will choose the “asshole” over the “nice guy”.
