I've enjoyed all of your thoughtful posts on fandom misogyny.
Rose definitely handles her relationship with Mickey in immature ways sometimes, but as you argue so well here, he's not really any better, and he's a bit older than 19 and thus has even less excuse. So they're not perfect. That makes interesting television!
Are there really people out there pulling a Saint Mickey routine? Because that very much seems to be constructing their own little world that has very little to do with canon. I love Mickey, but part of that love is for his flaws.
