Without getting too spoilery for those who haven’t watched, one of the things that I love about Castle is that they didn’t shy away from giving Beckett a legit sex drive. That woman instigates sex constantly, and it’s so great to see.
There are acceptable sexual tropes for women in media:
Women are allowed to like and want sex, but not as much as their male partner.
They’re allowed to come on to a guy, but later, they need to complain about a headache to get out of it.
They can instigate, but it’s because he wanted it first. Etc. etc.
Daddy Beckett, though? She gonna get what she wants whenever she wants it. And I love that for her. ;)
News flash: women want sex, too. Men just don’t always know how to make them want it enough to get laid on a regular basis. And as much as Castle irritates me sometimes (and as clueless and narcissistic as he can be), he’s mostly really good at wooing Beckett. 🖤
