But perhaps the best name for this trope (for this lifestyle, really) is the Sexy Tragic Muse, which Anne Theriault described beautifully in this 2015 essay.
She’s damaged, often as a result of sexual assault or other abuse by men. Her life carries with it some kind of Deep Lesson, usually a lesson that a male protagonist needs to learn…The Sexy Tragic Muse fetishizes women’s pain by portraying debilitating mental health disorders filtered dreamily through the male gaze. The trope glamourizes addiction and illnesses like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia — diseases that are distinctly unglamorous for those of us who live with them. The Sexy Tragic Muse is vulnerable, and her vulnerability is sexualized. Her inability to properly care for herself or make decisions on her own behalf is presented as being part of her appeal.
And she was exactly who, in my teens and early 20s, I thought I wanted to be. And that has made it, as I approach 30, all the more difficult to get better.
