@mojofrododojo @makeshiftreaper not exactly. Everett is *never ever* physically violent with his wife, like he is with other people. He’s an inconsiderate dick to her, but when that happens she’s the one that wallops him.

Actually I don’t think he’s *ever* violent with women, the way he is with men? Sometimes women are the target of his “outbursts” but he never whacks them with umbrellas or throws them out of the window of a moving train or anything.

@clark True is ahead of his time and on the right side of the issue so much that it’s a bummer when he’s neither one.

@verity_kindle @AllNewTypeFace Women achieving property-rights equality with men was a gradual process but well underway by Everett’s time. https://www.thoughtco.com/property-rights-of-women-3529578

Edited cause I forgot to paste the link in

@turtlepower it varies. Sometimes he’s absolutely in the right (opposing cruelty to animals, corruption, people being selfish and mean), sometimes he’s hilariously petty and ridiculous (he punches a guy for wearing his hat crooked at one point). But that’s late-stage Everett, early Everett just said cruel things and then everybody around him grins or compliments him cause that’s “what they were all thinking”. Lame.

@turtlepower But yeah, Everett can be extremely disappointing.

@turtlepower I dunno about sexist, but he’s being a dick. Which is in character for early True, whose only real character trait was being a dick.

Before he had evolved into the later True we all love, who was an avenging angel of over-the top righteous (or sometimes extremely petty) violence.
