The absolute worst example of this was the nonsense about Eve having to change into Renard's form so she could doing her spy work. Not to be outdone, the creative team then led the audience to the ultimate ew issue.....Eve now has to have sex with Rachel.
Grimm's treatment of women is really something. I find it interesting that while around Renard, Adalind is allowed to be a woman. She dresses quite nicely. I loved that gray peignoir she wore. She takes her kids to the park, even talks shop with Renard about schools for Diana. She's smart and witty. But she's not with Renard.
When she gets back to Nick though, she's more of the frumpy housewife and dumbed down. There is no talk of Kelly's future, and she's relegated to helping Eve and Rosalee.
Eve/Juliette has been completely masculinized, in my opinion. I never cared for Juliette's wardrobe in comparison to what Bitsie herself wears. When she was soldiered into Eve, she was really made masculine, in my opinion. Eve's smart, but she's masculinized.
I have to say I've never cared for Rosalee's wardrobe either. There's nothing about it that makes her more appealing as a woman, in my opinion. I think it goes along the same line. She's smart, and while somewhat portrayed as more feminine, she's not as feminine as she could be, in my opinion. She can't because that would detract from Monroe.
Sometimes it seems the overall message of Grimm is it's great to be a man, so great the women wish they could be men too. Makes me wonder if Diana's ultimate prophecy is to become male.
That quite a sexist thing to say.
