Anne demonstrating a clear double standard. “How DARE Robin try to protect me, the filthy male.”… 4 seconds later “How DARE Robin have a problem with me protecting him, the filthy male”. So it’s not ok for men to protect women because that’s chauvenistic, but it’s not ok for men to feel the same way about women protecting them that she feels about men protecting her because that’s SO different from her own feelings?
She’s kinda had a double standard thing going on for a while now. Not specifically anti-male double standard, just “not me” double standard. I thought she outgrew it a little while ago, but this enemy is exploiting this old flaw. Very clever of the writer
