And to presume that these women don't know what a one-night-stand is is what I call sexist.
Yeah. Having a lot of one-night stands is not a problem as long as both parties are consenting adults. To say a guy doing this devalues woman as silly little creatures who can`t have a healthy sex drive or insane-os who always run to buy the wedding dress in the morning. Huh? That`s as bad as calling a woman who does sleep around a slut.
Have you watched Smallville Season 4? Remember the episode Bound? That was a very good example of sexism on tv.
Oh god, don`t remind me. That made out women as such vile, prude creatures who can`t help but being victimzed by big, bad men. Apparently their tiny, irrational brains lend themselves to that. Urgh.
And Lex reminiscing about how he "treated those poor women" and basically deserves to die for it. He had fucking sex with them, in total consent apparently. Now that was sexist as hell to me.
Oh good times, do you remember the kerfuffle about Spike punching Demon!Anya? Same shit.
I dimly recall. And you know, yes, males are typically stronger so a man hitting a woman is more charged than the reverse but if the female in question is canonically as strong as the male that argument goes out the window for me. Which is why, hello context.
Or that one time on Angel where Buffy came by, was a snotty brat over Faith, hit Angel and once he hits her right back, she immediately gives the big eyes and whispers in a little girl voice "you hit me." Are you kidding me? What kind of kick-ass is that supposed to be? I can do whatever I want but once someone retaliates I`m a dainty little victime? Man, I`d slap myself silly.
