She Did Everything She Was Supposed To Do. The Least These Cops Could Do Is Show Some Sympathy.

The sad thing is, while this is a parody, a lot of real women in abusive relationships receive similar reactions when they try to seek help. The way we talk about TV characters can reveal a lot about our society and subconscious belief systems. So next time you hear someone hating on a TV wife for being a complex and fully realized character who has personal motivations that might conflict with or stand in the way of her antihero husband achieving his goals, stand up for her. Because it does matter.
