    But “it’s men” is kind of a pun on “it’s me”, which is the original trope this is referencing. Doesn’t really work with “it’s women”.

      While true, the pun still implies

      men are at fault for her not liking men. Saying it’s women would imply she is attracted to women

      And tbf, that’s such a common trope of a joke I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the intentional implication by the author. My question, for everyone who uses that hack joke, is “does that mean you think being gay is a choice?”

      It is a good pun though, this is probably one of the better executions of that trope I’ve seen.
