After everything they'd gone through together, all their history, their love spanning 6000 years, they literally vanished into dust.

Their "human versions" are not them. They met each other in their 50s? 60s? and will get like 30 or so years together.

No sticking together for centuries despite being from opposite factions in an eternal conflict, no developing their rivalry, friendship, and eventually love throughout the ages, no having each other's back despite the dangers of doing so, no bickering, no rescuing each other, no "you go too fast for me, Crowley", no 'our' Bentley, no "angel" as a pet name, NO THEM. At all.

He has misogynistic biases, that’s where the nuance lies, and it matters.

A misogynist would never have believed Santos for a second about Langdon ; a misogynist wouldn’t have lied about pregnancy measurements ; a misogynist wouldn’t have reassured Mel ; a misogynist wouldn’t have apologized to McKay ; a misogynist wouldn’t show so much consideration for Dana ; a misogynist wouldn’t congratulate his female residents ; a misogynist wouldn’t take his female colleagues' input at face value.

But Robby does have misogynistic biases yes. At the end of the day, he’s still a middle‑aged man who grew up in a patriarchal society, one that seeps into every fiber of how we’re raised -> And it’s been brought forward since S1 with David's case. He knows there are issues with masculinity right now, he knows it’s dangerous, he even tells Theresa. Yet it still took him time to realize and admit that the girls were genuinely at risk (biases).

The beef Robby has with Mohan isn’t because he’s misogynistic (or racist). It’s because he sees himself in her, he hates himself, and so he lashes out at her. And in turn, this situation can amplify his biases. that’s the way the whole pattern works : it’s not that he targets Mohan because he’s actively racist or misogynistic. Same with Al-Hashimi somehow

+ all of it is made even worse by his mental health basically being in palliative care.

And it’s a far better characterization than turning him into a privileged, misogynistic cliché. Since the show strives for realism, it makes sense that it would address this topic in this manner.

Ordinary sexism endures precisely because of these underlying biases.
