Bad Girls and Bad Guys: Double Standarts
Why does male villains get amazing redemption arcs, but female villains not?
They can do whatever they want and still be loved and get the girl, while female villains just get villanfy more and more and don't get the guy in the end. Why is this called "feminist"? Men and women should be treated equally, but when you made redemption arc for a bad guys, while villanfy bad girls for the same reason sorry to say it but it is a internalized misogyny.
This could be said in the TVD and TO: Klaus getting a spin off and being a love interest by two sweet women and Damon getting loved by Elena, while Katherine and Aurora didn't get a redemption arc or a love story to make them get a redemption.
If you want to not make a double standart of gender, be careful of it, look behind if you don't villanfy one gender for doing the same things that another does and still get a redemption arc, or have a counterpart to make 50/50 like Once Upon a Time's universe (Rumple, Hook, Regina and Zelena redeemed, while Gothel, Jafar and Hades not), Buffy/Angel (Angel, Spike, Anya and Faith redeemed, while Drusilla and Mayor not), or Grimm (Adalind, Juliet and Rernard redeemed, while some villains not).

INTERNALIZED MISOGYNY - Baca sampe abis biar paham
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gua dulu sering banget ngerasa gambar - gambar diatas itu relate sama kehidupan gua. Yang mana ngebuat gua termasuk di dalem lingkaran internalized misogyny. Gua sering banget setuju sama paham ‘i’m not like other girls’ dimana gua ngerasa kalo cewe – cewe lain tuh beda sama gua dan terlalu ‘menye-menye’. Cewe – cewe yang put on make up di mukanya menurut gua orang yang terlalu genit atau gak pede sama dirinya sendiri atau malah gua selalu berfikir mereka gak mencintai dirinya sendiri, gak love them self gitu. Dominan cewe – cewe yang suka sama warna pink bikin gua mau komen, kata – kata‘terlalu cewe’ juga masuk kedalam kategori ini. Sampe akhirnya gua tau istilah internalized misogyny, yang mana adalah situasi dimana gua nempatin cewe lain atau diri gua sendiri di kasta superior atau inferior. Gampangnya internalized misogyny ini kayak ngebuat piramid atau tingkatan sendiri buat cewe – cewe. ‘Cewe yang kayak gini masuk tingkatan bawah atau ‘less women’ nih, sedangkan yang kayak gini tuh baru cewe sebenarnya’ kata – kata kayak gitu sangat melambangkan internalized misogyny. Bukan cuma cewe – cewe aja yang punya situasi kayak gini, cowo – cowo juga, tapi sering disebutnya‘toxic masculinity’ contohnya ‘yah cowo kok kerempeng si gak punya otot’ atau ‘cowo kok pake tote bag (?)’ pada dasarnya sama aja, sama – sama gampang banget buat mengkotak – kotakan manusia dengan tingkatan yang berdasarkan dari pemahaman sendiri. Setelah gua tau dan gua belajar tentang internalized misogyny gua sadar kalo pikiran kayak gitu tuh toxic parah. Gua mikir kenapa kita harus mengkotak – kotakan manusia padahal ya pada dasarnya kita sama. Paham gua yang tadinya ‘i’m not like other girls’ berubah jadi ‘i’m like other girls’. Other girls is kind, smart, confident,beautiful, creative, bold, lively, and thoughtful. Semua cewe punya keunikan di jalan mereka masing masing, sama kayak gua. Now i’m like other girls and I LOVE BEING OTHER GIRLS!.

Regrann from @thatwokeladki - I've been socialised into an agent of patriarchy since childhood and I faced a lot of problems during my initial time as a feminist. It was difficult but now I feel so liberated I can't even put it into words! . We need to put our internalized misogyny, sexism and patriarchal values to an end. Inside our minds on our own and outside in the world together. Let's unite 💞 . "Stopping girl hate doesn't mean you have to like or get along with every other woman. It just means you don't tear women down for being women. It means you let go of your internalized misogyny, envy and jealousy of other women. It means not using gender based insults to undermine other women. It means you don't push other women under the bus for men. It means you stop holding other women to the arbitrary and restrictive gender roles you've been socialised into." - takealookatyourlife (Tumblr) . #kuchkuchhotahai #shahrukhkhan #kajol #ranimukherjee #bollywoodmemes #thatwokeladki #internalizedmisogyny #patriarchy #feminism #indianfeminism #feminist - #regrann

Hello, I require your infinite wisdom please!! :O So I just finished cowboy bebop and I am so confused like who the fuck was Julia. WHAT was Faye's past. I literally never process tv shows and the bebop was not immune to my stupidity LMAO like... I guess the ending just really confused me, from what I gathered Spike and Vicious were friends? But then they weren't? And Julia dated Vicious but also Spike? And he? Went after Vicious even after Julia had died? I am Confusion. Please help. Thank u...
Oh BABEY I am so glad you asked! :) Be prepared for a long answer and I apologize in advance for how incoherent it will probably be.
ALSO Please note: this show is fucking complicated. I have watched it all the way through several times a year, every single year, for over a decade now, and I am *STILL* finding new shit every time I watch it. It's packed with symbols, motifs, allusions and underlying themes that are just so rich. It is so extraordinarily well-written that it could give a lot of classic literature a run for its money. I'm literally working on an in depth literary/film analysis my husband lovingly calls my Manifesto on the series right now. SO PLEASE don't beat yourself up about not catching everything on the first go round.
HEY BTW for anyone who hasn't finished the show, please know there will be MANY spoilers ahead!
Anyways ~
1.     Spike / Julia / Vicious:
Tumblr media
The information we get on Spike's past, including Vicious and Julia, is pretty limited considering how big of an impact they have on the story. We get our first glimpse in Session 1: Asteroid Blues, then again in Session 5: Ballad of Fallen Angels, Sessions 12 + 13: Jupiter Jazz, and Sessions 25 + 26: Real Folk Blues. I recommend reviewing these episodes for you Julia and Vicious fix.
What we know:
Spike and Vicious were both members of an organized crime syndicate called the Red Dragons, which is roughly analogous to the Yakuza or the Mafia. Their positions in the organization are not clear, but there are some images alluding to them being hitmen, and they likely rose up in the ranks as they were close acquaintances of Mao Yenrai, a Capo of the Red Dragon.
Spike and Vicious were close comrades. Spike taught Vicious everything he knew about fighting, and the two had a deep trust in each other. Which Spike fucked up ….
Tumblr media
^^Vicious looks hot asf here
Julia was Vicious' lover/girlfriend. One night in 2068 (three years prior to the time we watch in the Bebop) Spike is injured, presumably from a syndicate-related fight and he passes out in front of her door. She takes him in and nurses him back to health and he SIMPS HARD for her. We’re all but told he's in LOVE love with her. They start an affair, and Spike tells her he's ready to abandon the whole life - the syndicate, Vicious, Mao, all of it - and they could run away together.
Tumblr media
WELL Vicious finds out about this whole affair, and is DOUBLY betrayed because his literal best friend and girlfriend have been having an affair, and tbh I think he was just as jealous of Spike's attentions as he was of Julia's. (Whether or not it’s a sexual thing for Spike … well … I have my own headcanons about that). SO when he finds out they're going to run away together, he gives Julia an ultimatum: you can either kill him, or I'll just kill you both. Spike had written her a letter about meeting him in the graveyard to start their new life together, which she tears up to hide his location from Vicious. (This is the falling ripped up pieces of paper we see in Spike's flash back in Session 5).
Tumblr media
^^ r/gifsyoucanhear
**NOTE: There are those who disagree with this view, (looking at you Cowboy Bebop wiki) instead suggesting Vicious and Spike were buds in the past, but then hated each other once they were both considered as potential successors to Mao. That's why Vicious wanted him dead, and he was enlisting Julia (who he didn't necessarily have a romantic connection to) to help kill Spike since he knew Spike loved her. Personally, I think there is plenty of evidence that Vicious also wanted Julia, and in fact was already with her, when Spike started seeing her. If you want me to cite my sources please send an me an ask about it :)
Spike gets the idea, whether by her just not showing up or word around the syndicate being like YO Vicious wants you dead. Despite Vicious' ultimatum to Julia, he was gunna kill Spike either way. SO he sets up an ambush, and SadBoy™ Spike walks intentionally into their trap. Somehow, he doesn't die, though the entire syndicate thinks he did. (Note Annie's reaction to seeing him alive in Session 5). It’s also implied that this is where he lost his eye.
Tumblr media
HIS EYE - possibly the most important symbol in the show so I do have to mention it. In episode 26, he explicitly explains to Faye that one of his eyes only sees the past. (PS this isn't dissimilar to Jet's arm… we can get into that another time). Basically, he's constantly living halfway in the past and halfway in the present, and describes the past like a dream he can never wake up from. Because dysfunctional or not - the syndicate WAS his family. (Again - see his relationship with Annie, Mao, and Vicious (prior to Spike's betrayal)). It's his reminder that Julia didn't run away with him, and that he'd left behind that life for her. (He didn’t know she was being threatened until the final episode). Basically Spike is hyper-fixated on what he had and what could've been.
Not long after this, Spike starts bounty hunting because like? What else is he going to do. He doesn't care if he lives or dies but if he has to be alive, he may as well be able to eat. He joins up with Jet Black on the Bebop.
TL; DR: Spike stole Vicious' lover, Julia, so Vicious made Julia choose between her killing Spike or Vicious killing them both. She instead went into hiding and Spike thought he'd been stood up. He fake died and got the hell outta dodge.
2.     What was Faye's past?
Ok let me start by saying Faye is my wife and my life. HOWEVER I hated her the first time I watched this show circa age 13 because I thought she was annoying/vain/shallow (also because #internalizedmisogyny lol am I right fam). Good news! She is all those things! But she's also very lonely and scared and an amnesiac and secretly a sweetie and she realizes she loves the crew of the Bebop like family.
Tumblr media
SO my wife's backstory:
she was born in the 1990s (#only90skidsremember). There's some debate over her race/nationality, but due to the images of her hanging out in Merlion Park in Singapore, my bet is that she's Singaporean. She comes from a wealthy family with a big house, and we see some utterly *adorable* film of her as a child/young adolescent in Session 18: Speak Like a Child. I cry everytime </3
Tumblr media
^^ Holla for the representation
In 2014, circa age 20, she and her parents were going into space when the shuttle they were on had some kind of malfunction/accident and it killed an unknown number of people, including her parents. At the time, the technology didn’t exist to be able to save her, so she was put into a cryogenic sleep state. Meanwhile, the Lunar Gate accident occurs, breaking up the moon and causing rock showers on Earth's surface. Most people died, moved to Mars, or settled underground.
Tumblr media
She wakes up from her cryogenic sleep in 2068. (Also the year Spike leaves the syndicate.) She's 'woken' by the corrupt Dr. Bacchus who plans on charging her for the years and years of medical debt she's accrued. (See Session 15: My Funny Valentine.) Luckily a lawyer takes interest in her case (Whitney Haggus Matsumoto) and tries to help get rid of her debt. The two fall in love, but turns out Whitney is a Scumbag. He's actually Dr. Bacchus's nephew, and faked his death, writing Faye as the sole inheritor to his will. This means she'll take on all his debts. So baby girl has LOTS of debt at this point.
Tumblr media
In the intervening years prior to her joining the Bebop, she gambles, cheats, gains a lot of street smarts, and adopts a very seductive character to get her way. She joins the crew on the Bebop in Session 3: Honky Tonk Women.
TL;DR: Faye is Austin powers
YIKES this is so long I am so sorry. Bitches are obsessed with this show. (I am bitches)
3.     The Ending
Okay I'm going to present this in the way, in my scholarly opinion, would be correct, though there are SO many interpretations other than simply 'Spike died :/".
Tumblr media
To understand the plot of the last couple episodes we actually have to go back to Session 5: Mao is instructed* to sign a treaty with a rival syndicate called the White Tigers. (*He's instructed by The Van (Council of identical creepy old men) who are the actual head of the dragon. I think we only see them in Session 26.) Well - Vicious is a Bastard Man and he and his fellow mutineers blow up the White Tiger guys' ship and slit Mao's throat. Before he dies, Mao is like "Gotdamnit if Spike was still here this shit wouldn't have happened." Later in the Cathedral battle, Vicious explains to Spike he killed Mao because Mao 'lost his fangs'. He planned on killing Spike for good her, IMO, so there'd be no rival to take over as Capo for the Dragons.
Tumblr media
^^These guys are The Van btw
THEN in Session 25, the Van basically catches Vicious and is like “you killed Mao and now you have to go to Time Out.” The Van also decides to just kill everyone associated with Vicious, just 2 B safe. That's why there's a big ass shootout at the Loser Bar where Jet and Spike are chilling, drinking, (missing Faye and Ed and Ein lol) and Shin (younger brother to Lin, who's helping Vicious overthrow the Dragon) explains all this to Spike. OH and PS JULIA IS ALIVE AND HERE IS HER LOCATION :). (**Notice Spike's reaction at this point is different than his reaction in Jupiter Jazz when he hears there's a Julia on Calisto. Much less excited… hmm…).
Tumblr media
SO THEN you know we get some flashbacks of the past as previously explained *and* Julia just happens to run into Faye. She recognizes that Faye is one of Spike's friends from the Bebop (she was keeping tabs on him it seems) and picks her up. Faye doesn't know who Julia is but is like damn bitch I'm a little gay for you. (I mean … that may just be my bi ass projecting, but Faye is REALLY struck with her. Look at how she describes her to Jet, I mean come on.)
 Faye's like, 'we should team up' and Julia says 'no thanks but also tell Spike to meet me at *the place*'. Meanwhile back on the Bebop Spike and Jet are talking and Spike goes on about some dream woman who was his other half. (We assume he means Julia … I have my reasons to doubt this … I have a lot of angry DMs about my opinion here lol but I just do not give a fuck (: I can expand on this in another post or you can refer to the title of my fucking blog haha) Personally, I think Watanabe personally left this specific scene open ended, the same way he does with the ending and various other things.
Tumblr media
more like SIMP Spiegel
ANYWAY Faye comes back to the Bebop to tell Spike about Julia, and Jet gets intel from a former cop buddy that there's some shit going down with the Dragons. (Again, the Van is hunting down everyone ever associated with Vicious, including your pal Spike). Bebop is attacked, Faye tells Spike what's up with Julia, and he heads out.
 PAN TO VICIOUS chained up - about to be executed - but what's that!? It's a bird!? It's a pla- no it's just a bird. (With one glowing red eye … hm … reminds me of Spike, also the drug Red Eye. Pls let me know if you have any thoughts on this). Just a bird with a BOMB! Explosion (RIP bird c. 2065 - too soon), Vicious kills the elders, his buddies show up and are ready to go fuck shit up.
Tumblr media
this show could not be more of an aesthetic
MMMPhhh okay RAINY CEMETERY. Spike and Julia. She draws a gun, explains why she didn't meet him that day, and then hugs him. Now Spike is not *great* at showing his emotions but he literally just stands there. Maybe it's a stoic expression of how sad he is that he never knew she still cared, when it seemed like she dumped him. Maybe he's finally getting some closure on his past. Maybe the past doesn't mean the same thing it used to. (I'll elaborate later on this).
They go to Annie's to get stocked up on stuff, she lets them know she denied knowing Spike was still alive and hey also the Van was assassinated by Vicious and his guys so. Watch out for that. Then her shop is surrounded by Vicious' guys and she dies :(. Spike and Julia escape to the roof, but she's shot and dies in Spike's arms, and says 'it's all just a dream' :(. (Refer to: Spike living in a dream of the past).
Tumblr media
Anyway Jet SAID he wasn't gunna go after Spike but. Jet's parental instincts kick in (oh yeah he was shot in the leg earlier btw) and he goes to Sitting Bull to see if he knows where Spike is. He basically says yeah Spike's about to die somewhere. (I want to do a further analysis on all the Sitting Bull scenes.) Well conveniently Spike returns to the Bebop, eats, tells his story about a tiger-striped cat. (At one point Jet asks if he's going there for her, and Spike is like well she's dead now so whatever). THEN we get to the scene where Faye is like HEY YOU CAN'T GO OFF AND DIE ASSHOLE and he's like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I 've been living in the past so I might as well see if I'm living now. (**This will play heavily into my interpretation of the ending). Faye is pissed, shoots the ceiling and he goes off to the syndicate headquarters to fuck shit up.
Tumblr media
He basically John Wicks his way through the building, Shin dies, he and Vicious have the big boss battle and whatnot. He kills Vicious and stumbles back out down the stairs and says "Bang!" and collapses. We pan to the sky and see a star fade away.
Tumblr media
Well that explains the plot … now here's what I think happened!!! ALSO may I mention, anon - you picked up on something I feel like a lot of people miss out on. Why *did* Spike go back to kill Vicious if Julia was already dead??
Basically, once it became clear that anyone associated with Vicious was being killed, Spike knew they'd hunt him down, and they weren't beneath Kill-Billing their way to him, (i.e. systematically destroying this companions to get to him). And for all his apparent indifference - he really loves his new found family. Jet is literally like an older brother to him. Ed is a little sister. Ein is well … a very good boy. And Faye? Well the relationship is complicated, and I'm not going to get into the 69,420 reasons I ship them here, but I think it is beyond argument that he really does care for her, even if that just in a filial way. He didn't want the syndicates to kill them for their association to him, or in order to get to him. So he did what he had to do to protect them. *AND NO* I am not saying that he didn't love Julia. But it was clear that his desire was no longer to run away with her. I think he genuinely loved and cared about her, but at some point between Jupiter Jazz Pt 2 and now, he accepted that their time together was over. Now he had a new raison d'etre, which is the Bebop.
I think at this point Spike has 'woken up' to reality (as he implied to Faye in their final conversation in episode 26: "Look at these eyes. One of them is a fake, because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I have been seeing the past in one eye, and the present in the other. I had believed that what I saw was not all of reality...I thought I was watching a dream that I would never awaken from. Before I knew it, the dream was all over." (This is from the sub btw I'm too lazy to look up the dub transcript.) He wasn't going there to die, he's going to find out if he's really alive. This line is fucking cool and everything - but it's implications are multitude. I won't go into them all here but basically : what makes him alive now is that he's free from his past. He's alive because he has this new family and protecting them is all he really wants now. Spike was protecting Jet, Faye, Ed, (and Ein) by going and facing the entire syndicate, knowing that their lives would all be in danger.
SO - did Spike die? Well again - Watanabe has purposely and artfully left this open ended. Well, if we're following the symbolism from Sitting Bull, then yeah, the man is as dead as disco, and wouldn't that be a fitting ending? BUT at the same time, Spike always refers to having 'died' before (meaning when he was ambushed by the syndicate, and they all thought he died, and he pretty much did). Don't forget that in  movie (takes places roughly between episodes 22 + 23, and yes, was made AFTER the series but whatever) he like .. DIES dies. He goes to the afterlife and everything. He wakes up to find he's chilling with Sitting Bull, who's like nah it wasn't your time to die yet. So the fact Sitting Bull confirms Spike will die in the final episode, means yeah, Spike is pretty much dead.
BUT -- okay now hear me out -- could this death in the final episode be a death to his previous life? The person he was in the syndicate? Now that he's extinguished the Red Dragons for good, is it not possible that its merely *that* life which has ended? That's the optimist in me saying that, but if it keeps me from staying up all night crying, I guess it'll have to do. Watanabe definitely wants to leave it up to the viewer, so whatever you think, I feel like there's validity to it.
WELL any anon, sorry for the fucking lecture - and believe me, I could've said MUCH, MUCH more - but I enjoyed this question. I always love talking about this show so please all you fuckers feel free to message me or send an ask about anything any time. I am really slow at replying because #life'sAbitch.
Love you all.

Anyone else confused when people compare Nesta’s and Tamlin’s behavior towards Feyre? Like we’re talking ≈ 500 yr age discrepancy here.
Tamlin: uses Feyre like a sex object.
Nesta: is upset that she’s about four years older than Feyre, but her trauma is swept under the carpet and her behavior is bitchy...?? #internalizedmisogyny

Why would you fight like hell to open a jar you are struggling with if you have a guy who probably has no issue or makes no big deal out of opening it. Why are women so fucking afraid of needing a man to help with something?
There are a couple of Housekeeping points before I get into this: 
I don’t usually respond to Asks that tend to pick a fight, but in this case, imma take off my wig, because this bitch ain’t playing when it comes to Gender-Charged questions like this. 
So--slow clap for you, Nonnie. You get a spot on my blog. Bask in the honor, Greyface. I don’t bestow it lightly to Rage Trolls, but you gone done it.
The other point is that instead of writing the next installment of Cowboy Jones at 7AM, I am replying to you. So again, You’re Doing Great, because you’ve taken precious time from readers and the pleasures I take on a Saturday Morning away from everyone. 
I acknowledge that this choice is mine, but I’m going to say it anyway: Look what you made me do. 
Finally, this is the last time I respond to you. After this, my middle finger is deleting your Asks. That’s what I usually do to Asks like yours. Mama Anna will give NO MORE FUCKS to your delicate feelings of outrage. 
Now let me break it down for you. 
“Why would you fight like hell to open a jar you are struggling with if you have a guy who probably has no issue or makes no big deal out of opening it? [sic] “
BECAUSE I CAN.
NEXT QUESTION.
“Why are women so fucking afraid of needing a man to help with something?”
First of all, I don’t know why women do what they do. They have their reasons--you know, as human beings. I can’t tell you what their thoughts are on this because I don’t represent an entire gender. 
But I do have to wonder--why are you assigning this little Tumblr exchange about jars to an entire gender? Because a handful of us were talking about it? With different responses, by the way. And you know, this may come as a surprise to you, but in regular conversation, we like to have a central topic, or else we’d all just be spouting out thoughts in different tangents, talking to no one but ourselves. 
But if I am going to answer your question at all, I am answering it as myself, because I know why I do it. 
Let me be clear. I am not afraid. I am stubborn. 
Based on your question, you are taking my stubborness against me in light of my gender, because you immediately assumed it’s a gender issue. I don’t mind telling you that it pisses me off how a man can be stubborn to the point of exhaustion but everyone thinks its an admirable, amusing, and charming trait. When a woman does it, it’s “She’s afraid to ask for a man’s help!” 
Fuck that shit. Fuck that and fuck you.
I also can’t tell you enough how much it irks me when something a woman does--especially if she does it well, is given value by comparing it to how a man has done it in the past. Granted, we’re talking about opening jars here--it ain’t like I’m sending rockets into space. There’s so much to unpack here, but I’m not going any further than this. I’m just going to give you the credit you deserve:
Congrats. You’ve proven you’re Sexist.
Wear this award like a fucking medal, along with the other dumb assholes who think they’re smart.
I’m sorry not sorry that this Hard to Open Jar Convo triggered either your #InternalizedMisogyny or your #MasculinitySoFragile gene.   
But then you got me worked up this Saturday morning so we both lose. 
On the other hand, it is my choice that I get the last word on this blog. So I win.
