I agree, I suppose the root of what I meant was that the hatred Skyler gets is half blatant misogyny and half because she's written to be the fun police.

I remember when the TV show Arcane was coming out, there were lots of judgemental comments towards a character called Caitlin, but 3/4 of the main characters of that show are women and the others didn't see similar hate, but it was Caitlin who often made the lawful and restrainted decisions.

Although I also agree that if the character of Caitlin was a man instead, they'd have gotten much less hate.
