Every show airing when I was a kid needed to have that “cartoonish misandrist learns that it’s not okay to hate men even as the men around her are THE WORST. Maybe she even gets to be enemies to lovers with a lovable misogynist” episode

#I love xena I hate The Dirty Half Dozen. coulda been a good episode but what a remarkably bad episode #wild that xena would have that subplot and handle it EXCEPTIONALLY badly like #this woman was an evil slaver who only sold men because misandry. and she was originally turned evil by past!xena being her evil mentor #they convince her to stop hating men with 'gabrielle's husband was a good guy who was MURDERED BY A WOMAN! see? women can be evil too!'#and meanwhile all the men in the episode are the worst and the guy she gets paired up with is actively disrespectful to her
