What can I say?
Jan. 25th, 2009 02:50 amDo I think this is a hyperbolic review of the latest Battlestar Galactica episode? Not really. (Spoilers at that link!) Some douchenozzle replied to the post about how sexist BSG isn't, and how none of the women suffer any more than the men (nor are they punished any more than men are for their missteps).
Bullshit. We know it's bullshit. The past two seasons have seen the steady humiliation, degradation, and diminution of the previously strong female characters, many of whom are punished above and beyond their "crimes" while male character guilty of stupider or more morally black decisions just keep on keeping on. The last time a man was punished as harshly as some of the women have been lately was way back in season two when Crashdown lost his shit on Kobol and had to die. And he's also just about the only example I could think of. How depressing is that?
