[quote=@The Savant] I would say that you might be mixing up misogyny (hatred of women) with sexism. Sexism has broader definitions and even if Asterion's perspective/habits/beliefs are not necessarily bad. They would be categorized as a benevolent sexism which can still be very problematic even if they are not perceived in such a way. Favoring towards women. Versus malevolent or neutral sexism towards men. If you look up benevolent sexism then watch Asterion's interactions. You might be surprised. 😂 We will have to see. Watch him kill her with kindness 😛 joking joking. However, asterion is a girl believer of respect. If respect is mutual. He'll be friendlier. [/quote] I say it mostly because, in my head, her father would have held sexist views as well ( e.g. him wanting Mat to be the next leader and not Bella, although there are other reasons why he wanted this/he had other plans for her that he felt were more...fitting lol. Not benevolent or misogynistic, cus he loved his kids in his own way, but still). So if she even smells that shit, she might lash out a bit.
