about the misogyny behind so much Skyler White hate.

I'm not sure what the writers could do to make it any more clear that Walter White is an emotionally abusive fuckwad of the highest order, and not at all fun to be married to and have children with.  Intellectually, I know people are misogynists and I should not be surprised.  But really, actually, I am astounded.

Seriously! I will never understand it. I wasn't into her in the first two seasons but she has been so great in the last three that I'm so confused over all the hate. The Rorschach test in particular makes the most sense to me even if it's depressing.

It's super confusing! I just am sort of confounded by people, even though I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on how messed up the world is...ugh. Sigh.

She is so articulate. What a great writer!

And, yeah, how sucky is it that Skyler -- and Anna -- are targeted for being strong women.

I have to find a Skyler icon.
