the backlash over Mika’s attitude is the proof that society expects women to express themselves ONLY in one delicate, acceptable way.
the moment a woman is blunt,a little cold, or sarcastic, she’s labeled a “real bitch” or a “bully”.
a little reminder that she IS and can be BOTH.
having a dry personality is lowkey a curse bc some ppl think mika hates stephen when side eyes and "ew stephen" are a very specific way of showing affection
