I am SO GLAD you brought this up. I am on this sub a lot and rarely see it discussed (unless I’ve just missed it). To me, this is a huge betrayal. You’re my employee and you treat me like a child who can’t run the company I started? Add in the subtext of the audacity of a man to decide he’s a competent grown woman’s executive decision maker who can’t even be asked her opinion (because she’s too “emotional”) and to me, it’s extremely insulting and infantilizing. I cheered when PC stood up for herself and fired him, with a succinct but polite explanation, as, in my opinion, would be appropriate. Frankly I thought it was a measured, calm response- my poor emotional regulation would’ve resulted in me flipping shit.
And then she goes back?? Oh, it’s ok honey, you know what’s best for me. I just thought it totally circumvented PC’s characteristic intelligence and self-reliance and then there were no consequences for Judah whatsoever. She couldn’t trust him, that was demonstrably proven, and then made a lifelong commitment of trust to him. It was a decision he made for her that altered the course of her career without even giving her the dignity of consultation and it’s never brought up again. It’s one of the things that bothers me about then resolution of PC’s story.
