Insecure attachment

I was disappointed that the otherwise fulsome coverage on the extended comic-book advertising campaign offered no perspective from sociology at all. Of course sources, but also, of course, you don't find what you don't seek.

In my mental model, the archetype of the fickle female consort is a projection of how a man views women when the man is afflicted with insecure attachment.

attachment theory

Given the female affiliation algorithm expressed in this archetype, once you re-win her affections(?!), you had better remain buff forever, or she'll drop you like yesterday's news. She really doesn't see much else in you at all, other than your capacity to abruptly rebuff insult from a cruel world.

Unfortunately, this relationship pattern is fairly common on the ground, when short-sighted instincts around "insecurity" become deeply encoded in formative experience. — MaxEnt 19:02, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Acri is not Sicily

All sources used for this article state definitively that Atlas was born in Acri. Now, whilst next door to each other, they are no the same as each. If you have texts explicitly stating that he move to Sicily as a child, and personally considered his identity as being Sicilian all of his life, not only must there be a strong WP:RS alluding to the fact, it must feature in the content of the sources, but is highly relevant content of the paragraph in the article. At the moment it is only reflecting some unexplained WP:SYNTH in a couple of RS, and as such reflects unsubstantiated WP:OPINION, meaning that it must be tagged for verifiability. Surely, in being as well know as he still is, there has been irrefutable evidence of his change in allegiance documented somewhere? Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:14, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
