Yes, because as we all know, when a woman is gifted with supernatural powers, she'll inevitably turn into a raving bitch who needs to be disciplined by a strong, charismatic man. Usually through a great deal of physical abuse.
The two are not necessarily connected within the narrow context I presented.
I am in total agreement with you how the show / Greenwalt & Kouf represent the female characters, but their stereotypical method doesn’t automatically overshadow Eve’s experience and growth from her Juliette past.
And that’s all I was saying, Eve knew from experience that Juliette’s actions stemmed from her rage and need for revenge, and that’s what she feared for Nick.
I’m not suggesting the show / Greenwalt & Kouf wasn’t wrong for not allowing Juliette to take control of her rage and control of the Hexenbiest in her own time and in her own way. I agree, Juliette’s only way out of her situation shouldn’t have been to become someone else without emotion or attachment, to become a weapon to be used at another’s discretion.

I like this statement.....a lot. This is one of the few times I've read where someone has taken what another character's been through and looked at that experience as a positive. Grimm is notorious for completely ignoring what characters have been through and turning that experience into guidance for other characters.
Thank you irukandji for such a nice compliment.
