“Their tiny male minds”

I figured them killing off the token white guy last week for mansplaining would be the end of it. But no.

I suppose this is probably still Gretchen Berg’s Trek. Hopefully it’ll grow up eventually since she got kicked out.

 

Sure, why not?

 

Depends on the context. Given the character and situation I am failing to find the outrage here. And I fail to see the need to go looking for trouble.

 

Perhaps Georgiou is also trying to appeal to L'Rell's sense of vanity?

Since Georgy is talking to a female Chancellor, she''s trying to get on L'Rell's good side by playing that up - meaning, since L'Rell is a woman, male Klingons obviously couldn't succeed the way she did. Georgy wants L'Rell to think she's superior because she's a woman. Again, that's how people in the MU think - in absolutely racist and sexist terms.

If Georgy had been talking to a male Klingon, she probably WOULD have said something about "tiny female minds".

 

the mansplaining asshole was killed TWO weeks ago, to be precise
also..did I miss something or is Pike not both white and male?

 

That was hilarious, they should do it again.

Bring back Spore Ghost Connoly just for him to die again.

 

They really shouldn't.

 

I wasn't being serious.

 

Neither was I.

 

Get a room, you two

 

I hope not. It's the audience that needs to grow up if they find this offensive.

 

I offended that you find the audience's offense offensive...

Right? Right...

 

That's the same way I read it. Georgiou wants to appeal to L'Rell's ego and build her up so she doesn't waver. If she stays in power, they know the Empire won't go to war with them.

Georgiou strikes me as someone who really doesn't give a shit and will say whatever she needs to say to get what she wants out of people. Until it's time to turn on them. Right now, it's in her best interests to feed L'Rell's ego. And L'Rell is Mother in an otherwise largely male-dominated Empire. Whoever rules has to feel superior to those underneath them. As a former Emperor, Georgiou would understand that and wants L'Rell to feel the same way.

As a Terran -- and as a woman -- she can tell L'Rell things that a male Human, for instance, couldn't.

 

If it was a guy named "Phil" saying the same type of thing I'd feel the same if it fit his established character.

 

subtle reference to her being a politician now

 

Yeah, if a male character identical to Georgiou also said it, I'd be fine with it, because that character is an evil dictator.

 

Tiny male egos are apparently easily bruised.

 

Agent Coulson would NEVER say stuff like that

 

It was the 90's man.

 

If the character is meant to be a bad or evil person, I have no issue with them being sexist, racist or any type of -ist or -phobic. As long as it fits with their established personality.
