I have done a lot of biting of my tongue. A *lot*. Tthough boy did I have to sit on my hands when I was reading through comments on someone's journal and saw, what looked like, a quasi-attempt at blaming John by spotlighting the Marine culture toward women. It was...on one hand true, but with enough spin on it that I had to forcibly move on. The last thing people need is a Canadian popping up to lecture someone on the gender politics, sexual assault statistics, and general treatment of women by the US military.
I am, however, sputtering plenty IRL.
But yes, if the brainlessness keeps up? No More Ms. Nice Canadian. *G*
and yeah, I *REALLY* don't see John putting up with this kind of disrespect (and I certainly can't see Missouri letting it slide. She certainly seemed to have the personal latitude with John to let him have it if he needed it.) I can't see a man, so obviously still so affected by Mary, tolerate those kinds of attitudes in his son. And yeah, you're right. If anything, we could point toward John's absence for this sudden shift with Dean.
