Maybe im just dumb and naive but the misogyny stuff w robby, specifically w him only yelling at women, kinda falls a little flat to me sometimes bc he primarily works with women, and the two main guys he works w he was avoiding all of season two.
Like. Idk, saying that he was specifically targeting women, when we know why he was avoiding langdon and dennis, makes me feel some type of way idk.
Conversations should be had about his unconscious misogyny, but so often its just like āoh yeah he hates women, hes always yelling at themā and that feels like a misplaced (?) argument
a fully fledged misogynist who looks down and disrespects women would not have the bond that robby has with his female colleagues.
he respects and adheres to dana's word and law for her nurses and there's a mutual bond, love and friendship spanning years
there's a lovely mentoring bond and respect with trinity as he guides her and looks out for her, making sure she's going to therapy and letting her be flexible with patients but checking in
he's encouraging to victoria and he knows how smart and capable she is, he doesn't want her to do what her parents want for her, he wants her to make her own choices and stick to what she does best
he considers mel to be one of his best medical students and tries his best to comfort her in times of high stress even if he can't quite make a breakthrough, but he still tries for her
there's a mutual respect and admiration for cassie who sees right through him and you can tell that scares robby but he's fully aware he can leave cassie to her own devices as she's fully capable and a brilliant doctor
there's a complicated relationship between him and samira resulting in him lashing out at her repeatedly, which she doesn't deserve, but it's not because he hates her but because she reminds him too much of himself and he hates himself
there's definitely an argument for unconscious bias within a 50 year old doctor raised in a misogynistic world but to label a character as 'he hates all women' is tacky and tasteless.
