Of course not, but it reads to me like Virginia overstating real bias that is really bothering her, not something totally pulled out of a hat.

I was saying Masters Sr. didn't do it, as in his and Virginia Johnson's work, though pretty darn revolutionary, still didn't create a world where people knowing about your dad's sex research doesn't have to fuck you up. I was not in any way denying Masters Jr. masturbating in public etc. or "moaning about the…
Bill Masters Sr. didn't make it happen but maybe someday we'll live in a world where people knowing about your dad's sex research doesn't have to fuck you up.
I feel like the fire thing is a bit different, though. He didn't "set a fire," he burned a specific thing that was a symbol of his dad dadding his bully instead of dadding him.
More scared to see if there's a faction who didn't realize it.
I think it kind of is intended. Every time it happens is devastating, but it's very real in that knowing about sex doesn't teach you about fucked up gender roles and power dynamics/disparities and not just the idea of consent and the idea of boundaries but navigating asserting your own. Only in the last couple years…
like because he begs her AND she falls into a people-pleasing pattern formed with the help of her abusive dad?
I think her objections are rooted in a lot of things, including all the things she says them to be, but yes, it is clear that she would not be objecting so forcefully if she were not upset with Bill— but a lot of what she's upset with Bill about is also very closely related to the things that make up her other…
Yes, but as far as I know they didn't reach out to any other men. He just showed up, only having heard about it from Jane and working there. And then Bill chose anybody who said they could separate love and sex, even though Lester's answer was definitely way more alarming than a "no."
It doesn't have to be skeevy, but what we saw was— she clearly hadn't been trained to assert herself in a situation where the client was not worried about getting her full consent, which seems like an extremely large oversight— a mistake that I'm sure is easier to make without Virginia's involvement.
Right, but the cat thought experiment was a reductio ad absurdum response to the Copenhagen Interpretation (although Niels Bohr himself wasn't big on the observance-collapsing wave function deal). Hugh Everett's many-worlds/decoherence interpretation does a better job than the Copenhagen interpretation of addressing…
But then you lose the arrogance and entitlement! And isn't that a necessary building block of the scrub?
Karma is the worrrrrrrrrrrrst
yeah, it's just generally cleaner and more consistent/symmetrical than this. this reminds me of another animated series more but I'm having trouble putting my finger on it.
exactly— "trying to holler at me" is "catcalling" but to fit the meter
GHB is extremely cheap to manufacture but scheduled, which artificially makes it much more valuable.

I don't think including that bit in the previously on segment means Sherlock did do that at all— just that it was something they wanted us to be reminded of when we heard those voices on the phone so we could also jump to the conclusion Lestrade does. My reading of it in the end was that Sherlock hadn't— mostly…
If anything, though, those things made me think it was even less likely they'd sleep together. Elementary is usually pretty nuanced in its character interactions, and those moves by Mycroft right after she'd explicitly stated that "nothing is going to happen" seemed to me like something that would put her off.
