Currently, Kathrah/Newsbians has been well "developed" and is very popular, BUT, we can't deny the whole purpose of the ship it's rooted in misoginy. The whole purpose of the ship, from what I saw, was: "Oh, we've already paired Jack with Davey, but it can't seem like we're ignoring his female and canon love interests, so let's just put them together and call it lesbian representation!!"

This is NOT as woke as some of you guys think it is. It still sidelines both Katherine and Sarah (in most cases) with the excuse that they are dating, and if I may add, saying that they are more "superior" or don't deserve Jack also is NOT that woke, it's just another excuse you use to appear supportive of women while favoring the two main men and leaving them at the sidelines, in addition to reinforcing misogynistic patterns towards Jack even, because, believe it or not, reversing gender roles and make Katherine or Sarah the "masculine and strong" one and Jack the "feminine and sensitive" one and even going as far as saying that Katherine should've slapped Jack when he was at his LOWEST, doesn't make them disappear, it only reinforces them.

My conclusion is that while I love the ship, it serves more as a stopgap and an excuse than a real ship so that the main gay ship can receive attention without backlash. I'm not stopping you from shipping them, especially since I love the ship myself, I'm just sharing a thought.

If you have counter-arguments and want to discuss my points civilly, feel free! I'm always open to new opinions :}
